It's quite easy for us to just put the chairs inside the TC and pull them out first thing. Or put them in the back seat of the double cab.


Geewhiz, the last thing I want are chairs rattling on the back seat. I already use that area for my archery target, luggage and some other bulky items.

Putting them in the camper is also not acceptable. Next trip I will be driving several days and 2500 miles to my first destination. I want to be able to pull over, use the rest room, cook meals and even take a mid day nap. At night I do not want to put the chairs in a Walmart, truck stop or rest area parking lot. When I do reach my destination, I will be hiking and sight seeing most of the day and I will probably only use a chair maybe once a week.

Thanks, but chairs belong outside and the brackets make that easy.

I carry mine in the back seat of my extended cab, along with my step ladder and no rattling. I run the outer seat/shoulder belt right across them and click them in. Last thing I would want is to be in a rollover and get killed by a flying chair or ladder.:B

My chairs didn't come with covers but one of Costco's fifty gallon garbage bags works great...

Since I use web chairs I do not bother fiddling with a cover. Most of the dust just falls off and I occasionally hose them down, at least when water is available.

My chairs came with covers.

Using a ladder bracket, how does one cover or protect the chairs from rain and road grime??

Fabric covered chairs can get very dirty and are hard to clean. They also get wet in the rain and take a long time to dry. I am used the old fashioned aluminum folding chairs with nylon webbing. They are really inexpensive, easy to clean and the nylon webbing does not absorb water so they dry quickly. It has gotten hard to find this style of chair so I got webbing and recovered my chairs which are now about 10 years old.


That's a great idea. I love "vintage".

Mine are in fabric covers and they were given to me. they are nice.

And if its raining outside I'll be inside. 😉

Lol....I took one of Costco heavy duty leaf bags and used it for a cover for both the chairs and the stuff on a hitch haul...Dirt roads are nasty on stuff in the back.

I have been using the exact same thing for chairs,for years..Used it on all my RV's recently..Class C/Fifth Wheel/TT and TC..Infact,I saw one in a garbage can a guy in a very expensive Class A through out and I grabbed it quickly..Now I have two...Works great with a strap and cover..
I've used for years also. I made a small plastic shelf I use on it when at camp, to place things on before I go down steps. I'm older with a bad knee and do not descend steps anymore without holding on.:)
