Side Ladder

• Flatline Van Co. (FVC) side ladder

• Lightweight & sturdy

• Quick and easy one-person install

• Flat, dimpled steps for traction

• Compatible with the FVC roof rack

• Permanent ladder

• Provides fast and easy roof access to:

  • Clean solar panels

  • Chill on the roof deck

  • Conduct maintenance 

• The top of the ladder mounts to the roof rack while the bottom secures around the van’s pinch weld

• The ladder can be install on either side of the van, between the front and rear wheels

• The FVC roof rack has pre-drilled holes at the rear for mounting the ladder. If you'd like to install it elsewhere, simply drill two holes into the roof rack side rail to align with the top of the ladder — which is what I did

• Having a permanent ladder means anyone could potentially access the roof

  • In four years on the road, I’ve personally never experienced this being an issue

    • A non-permanent option includes storing a telescoping ladder in your van to use when needed

• Rear door ladder

  • I chose not to install a rear door ladder because it would obstruct visibility out of my rear windows and wouldn’t align with my roof deck placement

• Telescoping ladder (non-permanent)

Yes, I’d install the same ladder in the same location — behind the driver’s door, aligned with my roof deck.
