There doesn't seem to be much info on internal ladder racks. Saving up for a new shape Citroen Dispatch but really don't want to go with ladders on top anymore as I don't use them that much and it's not exactly great for fuel efficiency/wind noise. I've seen some systems abroad which looks quite promising, albeit a bit expensive.

New Dispatch has 2,254mm loading space, so should just be enough. I do need a combination ladder to clean the interior of two lanterns each month. Also need small A-frame ladder for insides.
Does anyone on here has their ladders inside their van? Maybe some pictures?

i used to have a ladder rack inside my car, i made it out of wooden slats and covered the end at the back with carpet felt . the ladders slid in and out as if on greasepaper . one bundle of pine slats in BnQ is easily enough to make a smart rack and very light too, about £15 per bundle

Some interesting ideas, not sure if I understand the curtain pole idea though!
