I drive a hiace and i made a rack inside my van for my triple ladder to slide into. It's ace!

you can see it on my website or my avatar

Thanks. The only picture I can see is an enlarged one of the cleanitup one. Do you have any others showing how it is mounted?

I recommend using Python cable locks to hold down your ladder,much faster than clamps and they thread through the hollow rungs which means you dont need to reach up  so high to put them on.    bought mine in Bn q    and they are thief proof (i hope !)

Do they secure it without any play though?

what hot water system is that Dave?

How tall are you? It might make a difference as to whether you can reach or not.

But if you have two clamps securing the ladder chances are one will be got to by standing on the rear wheel to gain access to and the other by standing in the the van with the front door open. I wouldn't bother with a little set of steps unless there was no other way of getting it off.

My van is similar to a Hiace, but with a tailgate door(which I prefer, to having 2 doors) and all I do is stand on the rear wheel to undo ladder clamp.

Do you just use one ladder clamp. Have only used bungees to-date

Having watched six large ladders bouncing off my bonnet and sliding into a busy road (outside a police station) ((trinity rd bristol)) I am astonished that anybody would use a bungee to hold the things on the roof.

Please take some advice from an old pro.

1: Learn to tie them on properly with rope, and invest in good quality 6mm climbing rope.

or 2: get some good quality ladder clamps.

please don't use bungee for ladders.
