Possible to buy a bunk ladder?

Soon will have a new (to me) Survery 255RS w/ double bunk beds. Is it possible to buy a bunk ladder so the kiddos can get to the top bunks? If so, where can you buy them?

Thanks.

If you find a source, let me know. We have a 235RKS. From what I've seen, most people make their own.

Camping World has aluminum bunk ladders now, $60... I made my own but would have considered buying if it was available at the time.

Look under both upper and lower bunk mattresses - you may have a ladder and not know it !!

IMO, the nicest looking ladders I've seen for bunks are the ones that people make using wood and stain to match their interior.

But, here's a ladder to consider if you wish to buy.

Thank you -- I checked them out online. Look decent, though kind of long.

I agree w/ the other posters that the ones I've seen people make and stain are much better looking. But alas I am lazy and would rather just buy one.

Interesting, hadn't seen the hook and retainer setup before. Doesn't look terribly sturdy. Think I'd go for the 1" hook.
