Hi folks! Hope I am not re-inventing the wheel here but I will try to keep it short.

I have a 75 series "Troopy" and I am getting it geared up for a month in Sunny QLD (i hope). The plan it to leave the camper at home and sleep in the back so I have made light full length roof rack (ARB Copy ish?). But now I have a little problem and that is "where/how to install the ladder".

After some time on the net grazing on pages full of fodder I have found that there seems to be 2 different styles of ladder used on troop carriers.
1 is the side ladder that travels from the rack to the underbody behind the rear wheel.
2 is the one that is bolted to the barn door requiring 2 holes to be drilled.

Surely there is a way to have a ladder securely installed (without drilling holes in the body), on the rear of the car (not the side), not need to loose space inside and have it removable when the rack is not in use or removed. I plan to completely remove the rack when not out and about.

Sure I am being a little fussy with it but I just want to do it right the first time so all ideas will be thought of heavily.

Cheers
Mick
