Rear door rack and box recommendations

[danbr]

I have a 2021 Sportsmobile built on a Ford Transit (350HD, AWD, dually) and am looking to add some external storage. Plan is to initially only add a rack/box on the driver side. I don't need a ladder (no roof rack), and currently we're fine with the under-chassis tire mount. I'm comfortable on dirt roads, but we don't do serious off-roading.

After some looking on the web, I've found:

• Aluminess
• Owl Vans
• Rover Vans
• Flatline Van Co.

all of whom make racks and boxes.

1. Are there other manufacturers that I should check out?
2. Any experiences (positive or negative!) about installation for these products?
3. Any long-term usage experiences with these products?

Thanks in advance ....

I installed one of the early Aluminess solutions. I'm happy with it and have no real complaints. At the time there were limited Transit solutions .

Thanks! Any installation challenges? I have to admit that taking the door hinges apart makes me a bit nervous )

Installation went very well. It's been a while, but I don't remember the hinges as a big issue.
