Top bunk access
Just pulled a new Jayco 26BHS off the lot today! Wondering what people are using to access the top bunk. I have double over double bunks in the rear with corner access to the bunks. There is no lad...

I had the same problem, I searched on this website and the Jayco owners website and found a great design that was simple and took about 1/2 hour to make. I used 2X2's for the rails and dowels for the ladder rungs. looks great and now the kids don't have to climb the bunks like gorillas.
This is the pattern that I followed from the other website:
Here is the material from a previous post in this forum from another member that they posted.
Total Height = 51 1/4" (including 1/4" felt pads on the feet)
Total Width = 10"
Rung Width = 7"
Sides = 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" square fir (labelled as 2x2 though...but it's not!)
Rungs = 1" Hardwood round dowel
First Rung = 21 1/4" from floor
Second Rung = 31 1/4" from floor
Third Rung = 41 1/4" from floor
Use a 1" forstner bit to drill your holes, can do 1" depth into each side. Very strong!
Also, round over your outside top corner.
Check your height. It may differ slightly from trailer to trailer. I kept the top flush with the top edge to help avoid any clothing snags or injuries.
All purchased from home depot in the trim/moulding section.
