Pin for ladder?

Checking the rv after traveling from NM to WA I find that one of the pins that hold the ladder to the frame outside has broken. How it happened I don't know. Any suggestions on replacement?
  • You'll have to provide more info and preferably a picture of the ladder and if there is another pin there for people to see. A lot of ladders don't use pins so it's hard to tell what you need.

    And, your profile is incomplete so we don't know what type of RV you have.

  • As a quick fix find a Tractor Supply, they have a wall of part that include many different sorts of pins. May not look the same but you should find something that will work. You'll need the diameter and length of the old pin.
  • I'd have to agree that knowing what kind of "pin" is needed goes a long way toward being able to advise where you could find said pin.

    It could be a securing pin for the ladder side, a rung pin, a pin that secures the mounting bracket, etc.

    I have had one of the pins/screws that secure the rung to the sides of the ladder fail. It's a pretty specialized part.

    More information is usually better than less.
