Custom bumper assembly
I am working on a 1993 26 ft Jamboree on the Ford E350 chassis with a 460. There is very little storage with this model, so I am designing a replacement rear bumper that can secure a 10x16 foot shade...

I had the same problem with my old Class A,not enough storage for the same things you want to take along.
I thought about a rack on the rear, as you did, but that old P30 Chassis with the short wheel base and long overhang with the fuel tank in the rear, made it overweight when fully loaded. I had no extra to play with. The front axle was way under from its Max capacity,so I needed a way to transfer the weight up front.
My solution was to mount a Cargo box on the roof as far forward as I could. I mounted it cross ways with the hinges facing forward. It was large enough to put my EZ UP in plus a few bundles of wood. I also used it for other heavy things like cases of drinks.
I have seen others that had fabricated a box on the roof to do the same thing.
This did transfer weight to the front axle,and gave me more storage space. I also used one of these that I modified a bit to haul my wash tub fire pit on the rear ladder.
