We need to get a bunk ladder for our TT.
Found this one on line Click
However the smallest I can find is 60 inches, and I need one that is 50 inches.
I could buy the 60 inch ladder and modify, but I was wondering if anyone else has found/purchased one in the 50 inch range.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My last trailer did not have a bunk ladder for the kids. I made one out of 2 pc. of 1" x 2-1/2" x 50+" of oak and some 1-1/4" oak dowels from the lumber store... I used a forstner bit and did not drill all the way through... I glued and screwed the ladder together and clear coated with poly... I used no stain... It looked better than factory... I then screwed it to the upper and lower bunks from the inside bunk lip back out... Worked great for the kids...
Regards,
Rob

We also ended up making our own after a long search. We made ours out of 2x4's and 1 inch wooden dowels. Stained and clearcoated then used metal hooks at the top to hook onto the bunk. Works great for about $20!!

I took the rubber feet off and hack saw the legs down to were I wanted them. I then put the rubber feet back on.

I needed a bunk ladder as well and didn't like the current market offerings. I have 24" between bunks so the after market ladders would have blocked the aisle. I sold my last TT to a local cabinet maker. So I called him to see if he could do some mods to my new one. He made a counter extension and a bunk ladder. The ladder it measures 14" X 38". He screwed it to the top and bottom bunk so its very stable. It doesn't impede the closet door.

If you have a pipe cutter as in cutting copper pipe for plumbing, use that, it works great.

Years ago I needed a bunk ladder for a Shasta trailer that we had. Got on the hiway to go to the lumber yard, and there was one on the side of the road. Must have fallen out of a moving truck. What a stroke of luck
