Hello
My wife and I use the beds in the rear lounge but our grandchildren just love sleeping in the 'loft' the over cab bed).
The ladder is a nice lightweight alloy jobby but the rungs can be a bit uncomfortable on the feet. I saw a post somewhere recently on MHF about using seat belt covers to go over the rungs to make them more comfortable so I have been on the look out for 6 cheap set belt covers. However today whilst on trolley duty in Lidl for SWMBO we came across some of their floor mats (some of which ready use on the floor in the MH) for just £4.99. Ah! I thought, that would do the job, so purchased one.
It did not take me long to cut out 6 strips roll one around each rung and then secure with 3 large cable ties on each, ensuring that the clip bit is out of the way underneath. The photos will explain all.
Simple and easy and cheap. Now we await the arrival of said grandchildren tomorrow for them to try out the steps when we take them away in a couple of days. The new step covers do not get in the way when the steps are stowed under the over cab bed.
Sorry if this idea has been posted before...
