No such luck here. Neither bunk had ladders. Hoping we can get one to do both jobs. Thanks

Mine came with one for the HappiJac bed and another for getting up into the loft. Cheap and hard on the feet.

I’m sure any dealer could order one for you.

My father-in-law ended up making us a really nice wooden ladder.

I'm using a 4 step step ladder. It seems the best solution that I have come up with so far. It's stable, strong, folds and is easily storable under the lower couch section when we are not in bunk bed mode.

Mine is similar to this one.

Too many complaints about the ones that are typically given or sold as RV Bunk ladders either hurting peoples feet to walk on (because the ladder rungs are so narrow) or them collapsing or needing to be cut off to maintain a proper angle.

I built a ladder out of scrap 2x4 and painted it black. I don't have a picture with me but I angled the feet on the bottom and put in 3 steps. I set the steps so they are flat across once leaned up against the bunk.
