2A- Loosely attach the BOTTOM PLATE to the ladder as illustrated in Fig. 2A using 3x 1” SCREWS, 6
WASHERS, and 3 NYLOCK NUTS. (Apply Anti-Seize) Position the plate so the nuts are centered in
the slot to allow for adjustment later.
2B- Next, position the ladder so the top of the BOTTOM PLATE sits flush towards the top of the van’s
pinch weld as illustrated in Fig. 2B. Keep in mind where the top of the ladder accesses your roof in
relation to solar panels, deck panels, and empty space. Using the 4 holes on the bottom plate as a
template, mark and drill holes into the van’s pinch weld. Use a 1/8" drill bit for the pilot holes
followed by a 9/32” bit for the final hole size. It’s recommended to paint the holes after they are drilled.

can be mounted without the rack using our optional roof bracket and hardware as shown in Fig 4B.

the ladder as desired. If you need to adjust the ladder up or down loosen the 3 bolts on the bottom
plate from step 2A. Once you have it in the desired position use the 3 holes on the top of the ladder
as a template, mark and drill holes into the side of the roof rack. Use a 1/8" drill bit for the pilot
holes followed by a 9/32” bit for the final hole size. It’s recommended to paint the holes after they are
drilled.
