I used to have a pair of normal ladders but the farther-in-law took them back, are these ones any good? I only fancy them because they look easy to store.

used a set of these ladders to clean and polish the roof this week, got them from maplins £69.99, easy to use , but as already mentioned watch your fingers when collapsing them down.

Not sure if this is a bit offtopic or i should start a new topic but... does anyone know if there is a weight at which one shouldn't be climbing onto the roof of a van!? My van needs something doing because the skylight is leaking but being a bit overweight i'm scared that i might climb on top and the whole van will give way and will get squashed! I mean i'm not 20 stone or anything but i'm not skinny or within normal BMI ranges either, so i just wondered

I have a set of these ladders ....they are very very good ..I paid a bit more money than those at maplins...had them quite a while, they will have got cheaper now...BUT they are Heavy.....around 16kg..the ones on ebay are 12kg....we now use a small set in two pieces they go inside the boot garage at the back...they can be used as extending ladder or a one piece or connected together to make a pair of steps...weight 6kg....big difference:thumb:

Hi if you are unsure about walking on the roof just place some timber or ply boards across the whole width of the van :thumb: that way the sides will take all the weight :thumb:

PS try a dust sheet on the roof first that way it will stop the board from marking the roof

Yes, I've had a set for about three years now. Max weight 150Kgs. Well worth the price. We paid about £89.00 for the same spec. so yes the price is falling.:thumb:

I went on my roof to clean the moss off in January when I first bought mine, I was 16st7lbs then, Now after my hols I'm 14st(fit!), mine has an over cab bed so i cant walk on the 'pod' part, other than that It was fine.

Well done on losing the weight, whilst on holiday too!
Reassuring to know that the roof might just about hold up under the strain so will give it a go.

Used mine for the first time yesterday, easy to carry in the bag provided and fit nicely around the brake light bulge on our McLouis Tandy . Fantastic product and great price from Maplins.
