I store mine on top of the top bed in the garage while traveling. We have a dog bed that also goes up there on top to hold it in place. When not traveling, it gets attached with the hangers to either the loft or the garage bed.

Never have used the garage bed other than for storage, therefore ladder stays home ALONE :lol:

Maybe you should introduce it to that "other" ladder so it won't be lonely. :whistling: :hide:

I put a bar on the bottom of the rear bunk in the garage. Then I loop straps on to the bar. Simply put the ends of the ladder in the straps, so it hangs under the bed.. I'll see if I can get a photo.

My Carbon 327 came with 3 straps that I had no idea what to do with so I used them to strap the ladders to the walls. The longer one for the loft is pictured, the shorter rear bunk ladder on the opposite wall and the rear deck stairs on the wall under the garage cabinet.

I got 2 ladders when I picked up my raptor 5th wheel, one is longer than the other due to the garage bed and the loft bed in living area. I keep just the longest one in the garage laying on its side on the garage floor below the window on drivers side. Ill take a pic and youll understand better,also my stairs are bungee corded in the same spot.

The ladder has a clear tape rope kinda thing that holds the ladder snug against wall and the bungy cord holds steps.i installed the two squares so it would not hit wall. I installed it all like this because I still need to load my side by side inside and I can still walk around it on sides and front or rear .😄https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/b6912c43e070c9398cd2d6765eb2cfe8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170514/a65bb21c2d1d0d20bc97e9d6ef524abe.jpg

Yep, not sure what units don't have overhead storage. My 2016 fz371 has a storage door in the garage overhead, also a storage net on that door for misc. items. It is right under the tv and almost the width of the garage. Pretty handy....

I bought a really nice lightweight aluminum step ladder for getting into the upper storage cabinets in the garage, then realized it would also work for getting into the loft bed, so the awkward, heavy steel ladder than came with the TH get left at home! I installed a simple coat hook on the wall to store the step ladder when traveling.

How did you mount the strap to the wall?

The straps included with the camper had spring clips on both ends with loops that could be screwed to something so I screwed them to the wall.

Hmm, my Raptor 425 didn't come with a ladder for the loft area only for the one bunk bed in the back. I travel with that ladder on the floor but really like the strap that holds it to the wall...

Mine also only has 1 ladder for both the loft and the happyjack bed. I guess only one of the kids have permission to get out of bed at night:lol:

One ladder here as well. Fits both locations. I no longer store it on the bed. Last trip out it found its way to the floor on its way through the screen door. Nothing rides on the bed anymore but the folding tables which came strapped there from the factory. I'm laying it against the wall at floor level and pinning it with some storage boxes I carry./

Well mine was lying in the garage when I bought it. Have never found a specific space for it. I lower the rear bunk and lay it on top.
The ladder is generic at Best. Has 2 pairs of hooks on it. Honesty the inside bunk the lower hooks don't reach and the upper hooks are really too high. Not to mention the lip up there is not very secure to hook it to. I guess in the garage bunks it works better?
I've seen alot of toyhaulers and there she some that have built in ladders, actual storage location and the hook spot that's solid. Mine has none of these above
Good luck on yours

Must be nice. The previous owner of mine kept both side and rear patio steps for the MorRyde system. At $500 new each I have yet to replace them.
