Easy safe? Older Folks to get in and out of overcab bed?
Looking for something creative, thanks...have step stool and grab bars and advice not to use. But still thinking about it..

We had a Class C with Loft-Only sleeping, and a nurse friend recommended getting one with the bed down. Said she's seen how one fall can ruin the rest of a life. That coach didn't have a raised "house" so the climb to bed was a full 05 feet. Still, we went Rear Queen in our replacement coach.
Is your floor carpeted? If it is, a ladder won't slip... Get a wooden stepladder, say 06 feet. Eliminate the back legs so it's only a leaning ladder. Cut top down to where it lines up with the height you need. Figure out the side you'll climb "around" to get in and out of the Loft. Cut that side short enough to not interfere, and leave the other side taller, to serve as a hand grip to get support getting on and off the ladder. Notice one rail is short at the top and one is longer.
