Telescopic ladder

Our expectations & reasoning behind this item.

We needed to be able to access the roof boxes and though this may be a good option, but it has now been replaced with a straight ladder permanently stored on the van roof.

The telescopic ladder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In use reviews.

Although it collapses it is still quite large to store and heavier than we expected.
We have now installed a straight ladder and a rack, on the van roof.
The replacement ladder weighs 5.5KG  + fixings at about 1KG so a very slight weight saving (1.KG) on the Telescopic ladders 7.54KG, and has permanent out of the way storage. 

Pros.

Seem to be well made.
Not a fixed length, so can be used when headroom is restricted.

Cons.

Heavier than we expected at 7.54KG.
The top plastic end caps fall off easily.

Our conclusions.

Not a bad piece of kit but not what we need at the moment.
Things may change in the future when we fit the pop-top roof.
