External Ladder Spree Connect

They're not real good at responding to questions. I bought a 16ft aluminum extension ladder from Walmart for $68.00. It is 8ft not extended and rides nicely on the back bumper in front of the spare tire. I mounted two 1" rubber pads at each end of the bumper with contact cement and bolted a piece of 1 1/2" pvc pipe(wood block would work just as well) to the tire mount so the ladder would ride upright and use three bungee cords to hold it in place. The ladder only weighs 18 pounds and extends to 13 usable feet. I cemented two rubber strips to the ladder where it lays against the trailer so it won't slide or damage the trailer. It's much more stable than a stepladder and very easy to unload and use. It's rated for 200lbs but it's a pretty solid little ladder. I feel better knowing I can get on the roof while away from home if for nothing more than to sweep the leaves, acorns and pine needles off the slide outs before I pull them in.
