    Default Getting up in the world

    I currently have a 12' Telestep telescoping ladder that was used with my prior coach and I have a Little Giant at home that I could use. What ladder(s) is everyone using? Do you carry more than one?

    I too have the telestep telescoping ladder.

    I also have a bum ankle and severe trama to my leg as a result of using the ladder and it collasping with me on it.

    I would recommend the little giant that I don't have. Or if you can be triple sure the telescopic ladder is in the locked extended position before reaching the top of it then proceed with same. Drink lots of milk for strong bones.

    Roger, Hope your getting better. I have always been concerned about that so I double check the little tabs and make sure they are locked. Ladders have the record for causing the most accidents.

    Elliott, I carry the telescoping ladder and a 4' aluminum step ladder. They do everything I need.

    I carry the Telescopic Ladder and luckily have not had any problems with it, but I also carry the Foldable Collapsing ladder. It works great for putting on my Outside curtains, and stores in a long small space.

    I have a folding/extending aluminum ladder which also un-folds into an extension ladder. It is about 4 ft when stored, 6 foot step & 12ft extension.

    What are you all doing up there on those ladders?? I do carry a 5 ft. ladder that folds flat and it's all I have ever needed. What am I missing up so high?

    I have a folding ladder. It is comprised of four sections about 42 inches long and looks like this one.

    I have used it with both coaches for almost 20 years. I like it for several reasons. When folded it takes up little space. I can make a step ladder out of it, an extension ladder, or a "bridge". With the step ladder I can reach to the top of the coach. As an extension ladder I can get on the roof. As a bridge I can cover about 7 feet without moving it and almost reach to the top.

    I have a Little Giant at home, much too big for the bus, but if I got a shorter one for the bus that would work, but it would not be as compact when folded and it would not give me the bridge.

    We carry a folding two step stool for locking/unlocking the awnings. For anything else, I just stand on Vita's shoulders!

    She has mentioned she has been carrying you. I guess you have just confirmed it.
