Questions & Answers

it be possible to secure an upright to a 40lb plastic kayak using this method? What do you mean by the kayak's bottom fitting within the metal basket of a hitch?

Specifically, I'm not sure what kind of carrier basket you're planning to use or whether the Kayak will extend above the rooftop of the RV. A 50-pound weight limit applies to this ladder mount. In some cases, the force may be greater that the 50 pound limit if the kayak extends above the roof. As the arms of the ladder snap open, you are able to access the ladder, and then close so that you can place waste tanks on the ladder, and straps stabilizing the waste tanks can then be used around the ladder. The ladder can be lowered or raised depending on its mounting position. When your kayak will be the main weight bearer, you may need to clamp some materials to the arms of the rack to make them fit more snugly. If you are going to place the narrow end of your kayak between the arms, you will need to make the rack narrower. A limited amount of information makes it difficult to provide advice.

With the 27 gallon 4 wheel model, I have a lot more room. Is this going to work for you?

That should be the case. There is a 42 gal in our inventory My only method is to use ratchet straps. I'm not a fan of the strap that comes with it.

Can this ladder fit a ladder with a diameter of up to 18 inches?

There is no issue fitting the clamps on my ladder because it is one inch in diameter. It would be impossible for the clamp bolts to accommodate a larger diameter, though, due to their length. To install the clamp bolts, you will need to buy longer ones.

Ideally, this would be used to hold a ladder 6 foot long made of aluminum or fiberglass. Can anyone use this in that way?

The ladder will certainly support its weight even without a support system. There are less expensive options to support the The fiberglass one wouldn't be as safe as it may cause a ladder mount to loosen since the latter is heavier.

Provides additional space for storage
5/5

We have to face the facts! Any RV has a limited amount of space. There just isn't enough to go around. A ladder could be used to store items, and that is a brilliant idea! There are steps on this ladder rack, so it is mounted on the ladder. It is easy to move it up a step if you need it higher. ladder rack does not slide down the steps because they are there. Designed with 2 locking positions, the arms can be locked into each with a pin. Simply pull the pins on the ladder arms to move them if you need to use it. For the sake of preventing loss, there is a pin attached. If your ladder rack is installed in a lower position, I recommend that you move the arms toward your RV if it is located at a lower position. Unless the arms are tucked in, the center of the room can be very difficult to navigate. My husband and I use ours primarily to haul a 35 gallon honey There is a strap included with the ladder rack, but I did not feel comfortable holding a 35 gallon portable waste tank with one strap. In order to strap the tank to the ladder, I bought some 2 sided Velcro strapping. It has been a smooth trip from Nashville to Myrtle Beach and back. There is no doubt that this ladder rack deserves a recommendation.

Fits most people, but NOT universally
3/5

There is no universal fit for this product, contrary to what the product description claims. Using it to carry my chairs in my 2020 Cabover camper would be ideal. Upon receiving the product, I was pleasantly surprised to find it in good shape. It has a sturdy appearance and would appear to There is a problem with newer campers because their ladder poles are larger in diameter. There are two pieces to the bracket The one who goes behind the pole and the one who goes in front of it. Mounded brackets are designed to fit poles with a smaller diameter. While I was on the phone with the company, the representative abruptly stopped me and asked, "just what is your question?". The customer service line told me they don't have anything that will work with the newer diameter ladder poles. This is not very good customer service. Neither offered a solution nor an alternative. In the end I have to give 1 Star due to their "Too bad" stance and lack of planning. That, coupled with their rude customer service rep, lead me to give them only.

This is the perfect support system for out of the way locations
5/5

During our fifth trip to the NT, we will be using this RV ladder mount system to transport our portable waste wagon This ladder is attached to the rear of the wheel and We use the strap around the middle to secure it to the ladder when it rests on it on the bottom. For safety (since the wagons are not cheap), we also lock the door with a chain lock. For the wagon, I made a large bag out of cloth that I will cover while it is As a result of our ladder mount system, the waste wagon does not need to be transported inside of the fifth-floor trash can. There are wheels. This park is out of the way and has a nice view There is much going on that is.

This product is not compatible with larger diameter ladder pipes (especially those on Lance travel trailers)
4/5

brackets that came with this kit do not fit on my Lance travel trailer (were too small), as Lance uses larger sized ladders and the mounting brackets that came with this kit are designed for rails that are skinnier. In either case, this kit does not work for me, since I got rid of my Thetford tote and bought a Rhino bag instead, which has its own mounting attachment and the rail size doesn't matter, so I didn't need this kit anyway.

Ladders that fit "thin" are suitable
3/5

You need to be Camper ladders of higher quality will not fit. The only ladders that work are those with a small diameter. If Thetford offered larger mounting brackets, wouldn't they offer an additional price? Nope, it is not their policy to offer larger mounting brackets.

I will review it in detail This is a minor problem
5/5

It is probably going to be installed today, but I thought the pictures might be useful for I will provide an update on my progress and first impressions. A new update This is an easy installation.
It looks like it will work fine.
I just added a new The picture shows a smaller rock stuck in the hole that appears to be a "deburring rock. ". I only had to work a little in order to remove it. This particular one was only included because someone else pointed out that That was not the case with mine. This strap is not something I would rely on for taking my watch. Better straps would be nice.

The mechanical aspect is fine
4/5

It is a good application. It serves its purpose well. In this case, the manufacturer needs to know It is either not necessary to put the 50 lb safety load sticker on the ladder or to have it placed somewhere else since when you slide the lower mounting bracket out to assemble the ladder, it scrapes off the sticker. To do this, you must take the glue off and clean it. The next time you throw a job, think about it carefully.
