Ladder for bed rack?

[OFC Ranger]

Can someone recommend a good ladder that can be stored, and when needed toss up to access storage on the top of a cargo rack (RCI in this case) that is cab height?

I'm looking at Van and RV ladders, but not really sure what to look for and what to avoid. Something that can fold in half or collapse would be nice, but I guess it needs "hooks" on the top.

Maybe rig something like this towards the back of one of the sides a permanent fixture and then you can just drop it down?

There is this. Although it’s built to hook onto their platforms maybe you can “jimmy” it some how?

That is workable, but cripes $380! I might need a stop gap product until I buy that thing!

Actually I think I need to be looking at "boarding" ladders. These are designed to drop down instead of expanding up. Hmmm...

Would a tire step work? Very low cost in comparison.

Don't think it will. I got the 18" version of the RCI rack (most pics you see are 12" version). Plus the storage containers are about 13-14" on that. Plus I may install a shooting platform up top.

This Stromberg Carlson RV ladder is exactly what we were looking for to access the bunk bed in our Jayco X213! I needed a ladder that wouldn't take up a lot of room in my small RV so my grandkids could get on the top bunk. It needs to be shortened a bit, but that's not the point. It is very light and sturdy at the same time. Actually, it looks great too!
