Under the cooperation of the vertical frame 210 and the horizontal frame 220, the strength of the rear of the RV itself can be increased.

[0041] Both ends of the vertical frame 210 are equipped with assembly sliders 211 used in conjunction with the outer slide groove 101. The surface of the assembly slider 211 extends to the inner cavity of the outer slide groove 101. The vertical frame 210 is slidably assembled on the surface of the fixed frame 100 by utilizing the sliding connection between the assembly slider 211 and the outer slide groove 101. The assembly slider 211 is a wear-resistant slider. When it cooperates with the outer slide groove 101 on the fixed frame 100, the friction between the two components is reduced, the jamming phenomenon between the two accessories is avoided, and the service life of the product is increased.

[0042] Specifically, the front side of the end of the hanger assembly 200 is fastened with a connection base 230 by screws for assembling the winch, and the rear side of the end of the vertical frame 210 and located at the rear side of the connection base 230 is connected with a fixing bracket 231 for fixing one end of the pull rope;

Figure 2 It can be seen that the surface of the fixed bracket 231 is provided with an assembly hole, and the pull rope passes through the assembly hole and is fastened to the fixed bracket 231, so that the pull rope on the guide wheel 110 is wound by the winch, and under the restraint of the guide wheel 110, the guide wheel 110 slides upward on the fixed base 120 under the tension of the pull rope, and when it moves downward, the winch is driven in the opposite direction;

[0045] Specifically, the left and right ends of the front side of the vertical frame 210 are symmetrically connected with the storage racks 240, and the surface of the storage racks 240 is provided with installation grooves for assembling the storage box 300 and the tool box 310, wherein the installation grooves are multiple and evenly and symmetrically opened on the surface of the storage racks 240, thereby reducing the weight and cost of the storage racks 240, and the storage box 300 and the tool box 310 can be assembled in the installation grooves of different heights on the storage racks 240 according to needs, so as to adjust the installation positions of the storage box 300 and the tool box 310;

[0046] Furthermore, a storage box 300 is provided on the left side of the front end of the vertical frame 210, and a tool box 310 is provided on the right side of the front end of the vertical frame 210. The storage box 300 and the tool box 310 are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the vertical frame 210, and both are used to store items. The surfaces of the storage box 300 and the tool box 310 are connected with a clamping piece used in conjunction with the installation groove. The storage box 300 and the tool box 310 can be installed by installing the clamping piece into the corresponding installation groove.

[0047] And as Figure 8 As shown, the inner cavity of the storage box 300 is divided into several spaces, and different items can be classified and stored respectively;

[0048] A mounting seat 250 is provided at the center of the surface of the vertical frame 210, and a spare tire rack 400 is provided in front of the mounting seat 250. The mounting seat 250 is used to assemble the spare tire rack 400, and the spare tire is installed in the spare tire rack 400. The spare tire of the RV can be suspended and installed on the vertical frame 210 by using the spare tire rack 400, so as to avoid the problem that the RV cannot move due to damage to the tire when going out;

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , a connecting base plate 401 is disposed on the side of the storage box 300, and the spare tire holder 400 and the connecting base plate 401 are integrally formed;

[0050] As a further description of the spare tire rack 400, the surface of the connecting substrate 401 and the surface of the mounting seat 250 are both provided with positioning screw holes 402. When the spare tire rack 400 and the connecting substrate 401 are attached to the mounting seat 250, positioning screws are screwed into the positioning screw holes 402 to fix and assemble the spare tire rack 400.

[0051] A two-wheeled vehicle fixing component 500 for installing a two-wheeled vehicle is installed on the front side of the end of the cross frame 220. The two-wheeled vehicle fixing component 500 is used to install the two-wheeled vehicle, so that the two-wheeled vehicle is installed on the hanging frame assembly 200, and it is installed on the rear of the RV using the fixing frame 100, which is convenient for carrying it.
