Aluminess Ford Transit Side Ladder
If you have a roof rack on your camper van, then access to the roof is a must. Our Ford Transit Side Ladder provides quick and easy access to your roof rack without the need to drill through the rear door of your vehicle. Made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum alloy, this side ladder will never let you down.
This ladder requires mounting to an Aluminess Ford Transit roof rack at the top, and to the van body pinch weld at the bottom. It is only designed to work with Aluminess Ford Transit roof racks.
Using no-seize lubricant for attachment screws helps with the initial install, and down the road.
Want a rear door ladder instead? Check out the Ford Transit Rear Door Ladder, it can be mounted with or without a roof rack.
