TRUCK CAMPER OVERHEAD BUNK ACCESS LADDER

WE HAVE A NORTHERN LITE CAMPER AND MY WIFE HAS A DEVIL OF A TIME GETTING INTO AND OUT OF THE OVERHEAD BUNK. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION?
  • Go to truck camper magazine a guy built a really nice ladder for his TC.What we have is a step and a grab handle that the wife uses.
  • See my earlier post for my solution in my Arctic Fox 1150. Built it originally for the dogs but wife and I use it just as much.

    I'm not sure I linked properly to my earlier post so if it doesn't work I'll try again!
  • My Host came with a small triangle carpeted step (4x12 or so) attached to the side of a cabinet. DW uses it. My guess is a complete ladder is going to be in the way.

    The box that blueglide made seems good if you were needing a way for a dog as well, but otherwise, seems like overkill.
  • We use two of THESE. One is placed on the floor to the left of the step; the second is placed on the step to the right. Makes it a whole lot easier, especially since we don't have a grab bar.
  • We use one of those folding step stools on the built in step and another on the floor. Makes it really easy.
