I am trying to figure out which ladder to purchase for me to take on camping trips. Thanks for any tips.

Right now I am useing a 6ft fiberglass step ladder because it fits in the basement. I was carrying a 7ft on the ladder but I wanted to cleanup the looks outside.

I carry a Little Giant ladder like that. I thought about getting one of those telescoping ladders because they are lighter and are smaller to store, but It won't set up as a step ladder and reach as high. It rides on its side in the basement.

We use a ladder like this. Works very well and collapses very small. There seems to be many versions of these out now.

I bought the ladder that they sell a CW. Folds up to about the size of a cigarette pack. I carry it in a fence tube I installed under the front of the Horn.

I have a 26ft Little Giant at home, so I know how good they are. But, LG's are a bit expensive to just leave in the trailer. For the rig, I bought the 17' Cosco ladder at WalMart that is very similar, sturdy construction, and fits against the front of the basement wall, secured by a cord. At the time, it was around $110.

Like Bob&Patty, I carry the fold up ladder under the Bighorn shown in the following link from Camping World. Works great!

We also have a Little Giant. The 22 ft heavy duty for the big guy ladder. I don't carry it because it's just too darn heavy. I have a 6 ft folding step that opens all the way into a 12 extension. I got this ladder from my dad when he passed and I haven't seen anything like it on the market anywhere. It's a Werner though.

That is an awesome idea and great idea. I've been considering adding a tube for rods. Now I'm considering a few tubs for various other items. If only this rug I carry was smaller...

I have carried a 6ft step ladder for the past 6 years and it has served me well. I carry it with our 2 Kayaks on the bottom rear of my trailer.

We carry one like this. It is a Werner and is very much like a Little Giant, but not nearly as expensive. Works great!!

Bob, You're "fence tube" ? Is it just one of those vinyl coverings you slide over a 4x4 post when building a fence or deck? I'm not familiar with any other kind of "fence tube" but if it is the vinyl fence post cover, I didn't know they made them long enough for one of those folding ladders from CW. (that's the type of ladder I have and would love to slide it into a tube under the trailer rather than carry it in the basement.

Thanks,

Keith

Can you provide more details on carrying your two kayaks under your 5th wheel. Are they hard shell? How long are they. What style of kayaks? I have two hard shell sit-on-tops that I would really like to carry but haven't found a way to do it. I have a BH 3070RL.
Thanks so much
