Chairs

When we go out we take a couple zero gravity chairs. They take up so much truck bed space, so I'm wondering if anyone has a good solution. I've seen ladder racks for these has anyone had luck with those?
Thanks for any input

I don't know what you are towing or driving, but there is always room in the camper even in my tiny 19 foot Shamrock hybrid... I would not leave home with out my 2 Strongback camper chairs and 2 over-sized Zero Gravity chairs. They ride in the small hallway between the side bunk and the bathroom. I put something soft next to the walls and have a bunjee stretched across the wall from side to side to keep them secure in the rear of the camper.

just a thought... add your camper model to your signature line

We got rid of our bulky, clumsy, heavy, zero gravity chairs and replaced them with folding Kijaro sling chairs. Much happier overall.

X2. We put on old blanket on the bed under the chairs to prevent getting the bed spread dirty.

We hang ours on the rack of our ladder. We strap them to make sure they don't fall off. Easy to get too and I don't like too much extra stuff riding inside the motor home.

Thought of that, but I already have a ladder hanging on my ladder....

We use the bunk room to store four (4) of those chairs. I take the lower bunk bed/couch and place the two cushions upright against opposite walls. That leaves a space for the four chairs. I keep a packing blanket in the TT just to cover the chairs and protect the outer bunk wall. Have had no problems with this setup, so far anyway.

I bought a soft car top carrier made by Reese. We put the chairs in the carrier and strap it on top of the battery box (torks diamond plate box. Then run a cable lock around it. Holds two zero gravity and two regular chairs.

Yes, just purchased a ladder rack($6.00 @ CW), put our chairs on it @ last trip. Perfect fix! Very sturdy, held our 2 gravity loungers + another plastic fold up chair. There is room on ladder for 2 racks as some have purchased. Go for it!
