Subject:      Re: Westy friendly step stool

I picked up one of those plastic folding stools at Camping World and they
are quite nice.  Fold real flat and when assembled is pretty sturdy.  I am
using it to replace my RV stepladder that I bought to give me access to my
roof rack for whatever I put up there - primarily giving some advantage to
lashing surfboards down or when skiing access to my Thule (toy)box.

There was another listee who had some pics of a similar lift for the upper
bunk they made, similar but more simplistic than this last posting has
which looks pretty neat.  I made one for about $15 with a dowel purchased
at a local hardware store, painted grey and then affixed 2 metal drain
covers for strength to the top for the "pad" which I put some traction tape
on for slippage.  Great idea from both these members!
