Where Are We Today
Rock Glen Family Resort
A Small Project
I am sure that you all have been
following Patsy's blog and know what we have been up to. Along with the daily
routine at "The Ridge" , my
trips to London, to work at CanAm RV a couple of days a week, all is well with
the Richards.

I would like to thank all those who
passed on condolences and concerns to my family and me, when my dad passed away
last month.

I
thought I would do a short post on a small project that I recently did.
We carry a step ladder on the ladder at the back of our trailer, not where I
really want to carry it.
While in Quail Ridge RV park in
Huachuca City, Az. last winter, we met a couple who have a Mobilesuite similar
to ours. The gentleman had made a couple of brackets and hung his step ladder
under and near the front of the trailer. I thought it was a good idea, so once
home, I wanted to do the same.

I found some pieces of metal, drew up some plans and asked my good friend Rob if he would help me, Rob has a welder. We, I should say Rob cut the pieces of metal to size, bent pieces and welded them together to make the brackets. Thanks Rob!

After I got them home, I painted them
and then fastened them to the bottom of the trailer. The ladder fits perfect on
the brackets and I feel it is a better place to carry it.

That's it for this post, yes I'm still around and will post again. Thanks for staying tune, until the next take care, safe travels and keep up with Patsy.
Now that's a GREAT idea! I have the same problem carrying a ladder. Finally bought one of those that squishes down to 6x6x10, but it's not all that stable when opened up. Looks like you've found the solution!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, I do like this better then on the back of the trailer.

DeleteI had wanted to leave a Condolence when I read about your Father's Passing but was having Internet issues.
ReplyDeleteThat ladder bracket looks good but you might want to watch your ground clearance when Boondocking in the desert.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Thanks for the thought, hope your internet problem is better.
DeleteThe ladder has lots of clearance, actually just slightly higher than the dump hose connection.
I noticed that the other day, thought it was a new project, looks wonderful and great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks George, I am glad I saw it on the other trailer, very happy with it.
DeleteThat looks like a professional job, Bill. You could go into production with that thing. We would like to take a step ladder along, too, but have the same predicament of not knowing where to put it. Maybe send a photo with a note to the Trailer Life Magazine and see if they print it in the next issue.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene, wish I could take credit for the idea and the c manufacturing of the brackets, but can not. Great idea for sending it into Trailer Life Magazine.
DeleteThe ladder holder is awesome! Good job Boys! Happy Father's day to you Bill! Enjoy..
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys.
