Yeah, we're a little obsessed—but that's because we actually live and camp out of these rigs ourselves, and we know that climbing onto your roof shouldn't feel like a sketchy balancing act. We swear by this Vanspeed side ladder because it solves a massive upper-access challenge without forcing you to deal with a bulky, universal rack extension that ruins your aerodynamics. It tracks the exact natural body lines of your high-roof rig like a glove, providing an incredibly rigid and streamlined climbing path. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/41qxd6.share-na2.hsforms.com\/29bufDkHjQ5aTe0D_9wWVQA\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAsk Us Product Questions Anytime\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e to pick our brains on how to seamlessly integrate this into your dream exterior layout!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWCV EXPERT TIP:\u003c\/b\u003e Proper positioning along the vehicle's flank makes all the difference when combining a side-mount ladder with interior living spaces. Our builders highly recommend planning your installation location relative to your side windows and sliding door swing radius. Pro Tip: Before drilling your lower anchors into the factory pinch weld, mock up the ladder's top feet loosely inside your roof tracks. Slide the assembly forward or backward to ensure it doesn't block driver visibility out of mid-panels or clip any auxiliary side-mount scene lights when you are throwing gear up top at camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePRODUCT OVERVIEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Vanspeed High Roof Side Ladder is a premium, vehicle-specific climbing module engineered explicitly for high-roof van platforms (2014+ generation). Hand-fabricated in Huntington Beach, California, this rugged accessory provides safe, unyielding access to your top deck for extra equipment storage, solar panel maintenance, or field surveying applications. CNC-cut, bent, and welded from a robust combination of 1¼” tubular steel and 1\/8” sheet steel, the entire structure is wrapped in an aggressive textured black powder-coat finish. It locks tight using your factory roof channels and lower body seams, providing a flush, low-profile fitment that reduces highway wind drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBEST FOR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eSTREAMLINED ROOF STAGING:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfect for overlanders who require a heavy-duty side ladder but want to preserve a narrow footprint to clear tight forest service trails and low-hanging branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eSECURE MULTI-GEAR LAYOUTS:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for outdoor athletes needing a stable, high-capacity climbing path to easily reach roof boxes, kayak mounts, or rooftop photography platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eDRILL-FREE UPPER ANCHORING:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for builders looking for a secure structural solution that slides directly into existing top tracks without modifying the roof sheet metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eACCESS PLATFORM PROFILE:\u003c\/b\u003e Low-profile, contour-matched side exterior utility climbing ladder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eSTRUCTURAL MATERIAL MATRIX:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty 1¼“ tubular steel rails paired with ⅛” sheet steel step treads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eSURFACE PROTECTION COATING:\u003c\/b\u003e Industrial-grade textured black powder coat (slip and scratch optimized)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eMAXIMUM TOTAL WEIGHT RATING:\u003c\/b\u003e Meets full RVIA standard compliance to safely support up to 250 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eUPPER MOUNTING INTERFACE:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrates directly into the vehicle’s factory-installed roof rails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eLOWER MOUNTING INTERFACE:\u003c\/b\u003e Secures firmly into the vehicle’s structural under-body pinch seam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eVEHICLE CHASSIS COMPATIBILITY:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered for 2014+ High Roof van platforms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eMANUFACTURING \u0026amp;
