Yes the interior rack it a great idea. It's so good that Joan and I made one about two weeks ago. We made it out of six short bungee cords and some webbing that we got at REI. When we went to the beach clean up, we used it to stow things like pillows, blankets, sleeping bags, & towels. We traveled 100 miles up and down the beach that weekend and not one thing fell out of the "loft" **UPDATED** I have pics up on my Picturetrail page. Hit the link in my sig.
