Advantages of a Cargo Ladder for your campervan
The Cargo Ladder functions as a rear door ladder and as a universal carrier for your Man TGE. This allows you to mount your equipment and other accessories on the back of your van.
Firstly, you can mount the Cargo Box 400, Cargo Box 700 or the Board (Ski) Box onto the rack. This way you can store and lock your items outside your van but safely inside the box. When using the Cargo Box there is an Extra Cargo Ladder Step option to mount on the Cargo Ladder behind the Cargo Box to still easily climb the ladder to the roof.
Secondly, you can mount the Cargo Frame onto the Cargo Ladder to carry bikes, ski gear, more storage boxes, or whatever gear you need to make your van ready for your next adventure. In winter you can choose to mount the Thule Snow Pack (ski holders) on the Cargo Ladder instead of the Cargo Frame and carry up to 5 skis vertically. All-in-all add-ons for the Cargo Ladder are interchangeable during the seasons and trips depending on the needs.
To inspire you, we've seen customers use it to carry surfboards, shovels, axes, canisters, recovery boards and even portable showers.
