If your concerns are that the walls where the rails attach are flexing too much, the best answer I can offer is to reinforce them. Bumpy's plywood suggestion would be one way. Another possibility would be to get some smallish square aluminum tubing and attach the rails to that (and that to the walls). The aluminum would almost certainly be lighter for the same stiffness/strength, though that may not matter in your situation. You might also be able to add some framing members to key places in the walls if you remove one or the other of the pieces of paneling (assuming there are two panels).
A set of sawtooth shelf supports and cleats (google has pictures/info) might also work out nicely. Making them is well within the reach of a careful DIY woodworker, though it would be rather finicky work.
