These are some great ideas. I am leaning toward the pvc rack (if I can still fit the generator, grill, etc). My truck bed is only 5.5 feet long.
My Silverado's bed was 5.5' long as well, an ideal length as that tensioned the tailgate when closed against the bike tires. That DIY plywood bike rack I illustrated earlier was the original version which I later cut in half in terms of width and modified to hold 3 bikes and still use today where it hangs on my garage wall to hold empty Aquatainers between camping trips.
At the time I was using the original version for hauling 4 bikes I also used it at the campsite to hold the bikes and back at home to store them in the garage.
So many uses, my only "cost" being some sweat equity to build it. :)
