Bunk Ladder

When we got our 2013 Jayco, we didn't get a ladder.I looked at the brochure which shows a ladder, and asked the dealer to check it out.A couple of weeks later, we got one from Jayco.It included the hardware. So, Check out your brochure and if it is shown--be polite but firm.

Get a folding alum step stool. $30 at Target. Comes in handy outside the MH too.

Bamboo ladders are different & out of the ordinary, very durable, usually found at your local China Town.

Where we got ours. Our Class C is made by Thor and they didn't supply one either. Went to CW and bought one.

They haven't provided bunk ladders for over 10 years +/-.

Hiya Golfergo,

Our new Jayco didn't come with a ladder either. Thats really bad as we discovered that the only way to turn on the TV antenna booster is to climb up on the bunk, and crawl around the behind TV, and push the button.

Whoever designed that must have been drinking heavily!

We started carrying a small fold up 2 step ladder to be able to reach the stuff stored up on the bunk. When not in use, the ladder gets stored up there also.

We have a list of stuff that didn't come with the unit that we need to buy when we can afford it: Spare tire, bunk ladder, sink cover, stove cover, etc.

In our older Jayco (2003) the cushion has plywood inside it to span the cabover cutout, so it would not be possible to slide something between the cushion and the supporting material.
I'd start out with an ordinary stepladder. Maybe a wooden one since it'd be easier to modify than an aluminum one.
Is that area of the floor carpeted? If so a ladder set on the carpet and leaning against the bunk won't slip.
I don't like most of the "RV Bunk Ladders" because the rungs are very narrow and that makes them painful on bare feet. Stepladder has wide surfaces.

I think those upper bunks are for little kids who can climb up.

At 83, should you be climbing a ladder?

Couple years ago someone asked a similar question. I drew up this idea. If you're handy with a saw and hammer, this shouldn't be too difficult to make. Of course you'll have to improvise for your specific camper.
