Jed does some good lighting on CamperVanCulture. I'm sure I saw a rear ladder on there recently as well, but I can't find it now.

Ours has a Devon camper stainless steel ladder from Ebay. Looks nice but needed a lot of fettling,

It never ceases to amaze me how many drivers of 2WD T25s have not heard of CampervanCulture. I know it's primarily Syncro-based, but they have some great info and videos, and lots of useful stuff for sale. I've got it on 'speed dial'....

I didn't notice your appeal for parts suppliers - got to be Brickwerks. They've got the lot. Make sure you spell it with an 'e'.

That's the job although I would like it in UK due to postage and import tax charges

Post an advert up in the 'Wanted' section - someone will have a ladder to sell. Also check the bay - they do turn up now and then.

Can't find it but someone did a very neat job of modifying an aluminium step ladder to make a tail gate ladder. Have a search around?
Are we going on anything else?

Theres a LOT of choice when it comes to internal lighting. LEDs the most economical and if you walk around places like IKEA and B&Q you'll be spoilt for choice. Most are mains driven with 12v transformers so ideal.
I opted for strip LEDs stuck onto a length of narrow cable trunking. I can have warm white to bright white, at any brightness plus all the colour hues and colour changing options you could want. You can buy 5 metres of it for as little as £7 on ebay - with a remote.

CVC had a pallet leave Rocky Mountain Westy the Friday before last and it is expected to arrive here by early next week at the latest. We had a few side ladders added, some were on pre order and a couple more have been taken on back order. I think there are only 2 left now up for grabs. As with most of the pallets we bring over from various different companies in the USA or Europe most of the stuff never ends up on the shop as it is snapped via email enquires before it hits the CampervanCulture.com web shop!

We are only bringing over a pallet or so a month at the moment from over seas from different companies due to our storage facility restrictions and the cost this involves being based in South London. This is being worked on right now so we can bring you even more high quality swag you just simply can not buy anywhere else in the UK.

Tforturton is defiantly right in that the web site started off being Syncro or Westfalia based as that is what we were driving around when we started up.These days since we started to do the 2wd lift kits and all of the adventure camping gear I would say most of our customers drive 2wd vans for sure.
