The new sub-category made it very easy to find this topic - Thank You moderators.
gkreutzer - I had thought about doing exactly what you did, but I also was skeptical about it doing any good. One investment I recently made was to buy a folding step ladder on eBay similar to this one
Compact Folding Ladders. I then purchased a vinyl "Vecor" 4" x 4" fence post and cap from Menards (Home Depot and Lowes likely have them also). The ladder fits perfectly inside the PVC post. I plan on using large hose clamps and attaching it to the frame under my unit. Hope to be able to use it to get to the bugs on that wonderful nose piece above the windshield. Often we are camped for the night and I would like to do a little cleaning before the bug splats get old.
