Dog-ramp for camper

Our old Springer is having trouble with steps, think its the fact He can see between them on the way up He finds it a bit worrying,
to help Him out I took a rather old step ladder to pieces and reconfigured it to hang beneath the campers top step
(so like a platform for him)

Obviously to be a useful means it needs to be full width of steps anyway, so We can either lift it off those hooks and use steps normally Ourselves or leave ramp in place and We all use it (so I included a mid-support)

Image


Camp sites being uneven at best of times I made it with steps set up at that angle but clearly it will be down to pitch how it all stands so I'll carry a few little pads of wood to pack it

Image


So ladder aluminium frame, 10mm ply sides and ramp, and some skateboard self adhesive to make it grippy

Looks good. Plan to store it on the ladder on the road?

Take care after over night frost. You might find yourself going all Eddie the Eagle.
