Clamping or tying a Ladder

I've used one of these for several years. I then use a rubber bungee cord to strap the legs around the mounted ladder.

I use the same exact thing. Haven't lost a ladder yet!

Yes on the previous posts! It is really a ladder rack first, chairs second :)

Here's another option. Double sided 7' step ladder.




This is how I carried it under my Cardinal.




I now have it in the fence post cover mounted in my front pass thru compartment on my new Cedar Creek.

Are those collapsing step ladders fairly sturdy when opened? I've looked at them in Camping World but didn't actually open up and test.

I use the rack like Y-Guy showed with a length of chain wrapped around the bottom step and a combination padlock.

Bungee cords tend to disintegrate after a while in the sun so the chain lasts forever and prevents theft.

Just got mine from UPS yesterday....this is a very sturdy (and heavy) ladder...well built!

Like tankcj wrote the double sided is very sturdy.

I've been told the single sided is not to sturdy.

Use the chair rack for the top but I locked the bottom in with a ratchet strap to keep it from moving around. Set it up and cut the excess strap off.

I originally just bungeed it to the ladder, but then later bought the chair rack as above. Easier to put on as I don't have to try and hold it there while putting the bungee on. It also gives me some confidence that if the bungee(s) break the ladder won't leave, at least immediately! :B
