Yes, exactly. It might be better there, so you would notice someone climbing the ladder to steal it and it is somewhat out of everyone's line of sight and it can be reversed and hang over the trailer.

Did you put the fuzzy Velcro on it so it doesn't scratch the ladder?

Not yet....it's on the list to do before we actually use it. that was just a trial run so we could get pictures to show ya. We were really careful not to let it rub the ladder rails.

OH NO NO NO NO!

I heard from a good source (the horse’s mouth himself) that there are only 2 sets of those ever made and they are out of production just like the awning poles, Pontiacs, Oldmobiles, Edsels, Nashs, etc.



NEENERNEENERNEENER! :-P

Your RV Bucket list has sprung a leak, there will be no more satellite mounts or awning poles coming from D&D Chassis shop!

I need to fashion a ladder mount for Goshen. Won't be as pretty but may work the same. Need to find some cheese borough's to connect to the ladder. We have the same dish, nice work on mount!

My oldest son wants me to fab a couple more this week so he can weld them up before he goes to the California desert or to a new job in Anchorage, AK. Anyone interested?
