In this video I share how I installed my Flatline Van Co side ladder which gives me access to my van’s roof for a totally new perspective of the beautiful landscapes I visit AND now I have a way to easily access the roof to clean my solar panels.
The install was quick and easy, taking less than 30 minutes to complete. Best of all, the ladder is lightweight but very sturdy.

Having a retractable ladder is actually better, so you can just put it away and keep it inside the van when not needed. Having a fixed ladder outside the van will be an attraction to kids to climb and also curious hands and eyes to climb up your roof to look for something to steal like your solar panels. I dont know. Just my opinion. Also you went all the way here not drilling a single hole in your van and now you drilled a hole just to add a potential stealing tool for thieves. Not my favorite but it looks nice. 😊

Hi Laureen, very practical indeed, I had one once and I removed it after having people climbing my roof trying to steal my solar panel. I'm looking for a folding ladder fixed on the van too but that we could fold and lock.

@LaurenLawliss Жыл бұрын
Yes, it is nice, but I do fear that too. Hopefully I don’t run into the same issue. That would be a cool idea. I also considered a telescope ladder that you can store in the van and pull out when needed.

Good Day Lauren, Great video as usual. You do great job breaking this down. I do have a question, did the van come with the roof rack to which you installed the ladder?
@LaurenLawliss

Thank you! No, I purchased the roof rack from Flatline Van Co and installed it myself in a matter of 30 minutes. I have a detailed video on my channel showing that install too 😁
