Roof Ladder February 20, 2001, 10:22:18 am Yahoo Message Number: 2165I have a 1986 LD and was wondering if there is a roof ladder after market that works with the rear curve. Thanks, Ron fron San Clemente
Roof Ladder Reply #1 – February 20, 2001, 11:24:26 am Yahoo Message Number: 2168Note three things, Ron:- Your roof may not have appropriate reinforcement if you intend to use it for additional storage.- Your escape hatch over the front bed is far more easily broken into than a typical 14" vent by anyone gaining roof access via the ladder, and already provides emergency maintenance access to the roof.- Lazy Daze probably stocks the ladder, if you go that route anyway.Steve
Roof Ladder Reply #2 – February 20, 2001, 03:11:35 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2180I tried to buy a ladder a few years ago from Lazy Daze for a friends LD . Ed would not sell me me one. He told me that the roof, wall and curve needed internal reinforcement. This is done when a new LD is built with the optional ladder.
