ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for loading and transporting recreational vehicles includes a pickup truck. Four upright supports are coupled to the pickup's bed. An upper rack is coupled to the four upright supports, generally parallel to the bed with space between the rack and the bed to support a first recreational vehicle on the bed beneath the rack. A vehicle transport ramp is pivotally coupled to the upper rack pivotal from a first position in which a second recreational vehicle may drive onto the ramp to a second position, generally horizontal and parallel to the bed, for transporting the second vehicle on the ramp. The ramp has a displaceable extension for shortening the ramp's length when the ramp is pivoted to the second position. The displaceable extension is used for extending the length of the ramp to contact the ground when the ramp is in the first position. It also permits (1) extending the length of the ramp to couple with the first, removable extension when the ramp is in the first position and (2) shortening the length of the ramp when the ramp is in the second position. A winch is coupled to the rack for coupling to and assisting a second recreational vehicle to move up upon the ramp.
