Ladder ideas?

[Locowrench]

Ok on the FZ 301 and the 300 they come with a ladder for the garage bunk bed. Where do you store your ladder when not in use? I'm thinking that area next to the door would work if I could come up with strong enough hooks and mounting options. What other ideas are out there?

Not to hijack your thread but...

I too put my ladder on the top bunk when in transport.

On a side note (the hijack part) what's up with no ladder for the outside. Is this an option that I didn't get?

I thinking about seeing if the dealer can install one on the side or front.

I didn't think there was enough room between the top bunk and the sealing for the 4 hooks that are on the ladder. That's also where the rear dinette table is.

We put our in our garage at home, we don't use it (only 2 of us). We don't have an outside ladder either.

I have to leave mine down a inch or two but it works.
We have a outside ladder on our unit its on the back side by the fuel pump.

I put mine under the mattress. The mattress compresses slightly against the ceiling

That sounds like something I'm going to try. Problem is that is where the table rides also but they should both fit there.

I have the Fuzion 390 which has a high ceiling in the bathroom. I attached Velcro straps to the wall which allows me to anchor the ladder (Velcro straps go around the ladder tubes) in a standing position against the bathroom wall.

i keep mine upright

I screwed some small d rings just on the inside of the over garage bunk. then I use a bungee to hold the ladder upright in the walk through door area. my door is wide so there is no problem with using the door. then I bungee my stepping stool to the ladder. it also makes a good place to hang wet towels, belts, etc

I still just throw our ladder on the ground in the garage on top of the rolled up carpet. I like some of the Velcro ideas though! My problem is that the ladder seems one rung too tall! I'm tempted to cut the ladder down a bit so that the brackets on the ladder actually attach to the top bunk correctly without being at an extreme angle.

I'm with you on an outside ladder. I don't have one either! It's definitely a feature I miss if not for anything else but to get up on the roof to wash and protect it. I went up on ours yesterday (with an extension ladder) and wonder if its even rated for walking on. It seemed a little flexy on the areas between the roof rafters.

That top bunk has several adjustments in the stop brackets. That latter is designed to accommodate them all. Try moving the stops up a notch or two.

I ended up putting my latter under the top mattress as described early on. Ill also put a couple of folding chairs under there too. That mattress really smashes down easy. The tables fit nicely on the bottom bunk for storage.
