Ladder Rack Chair Storage on the Cheap

As truck camper folks, we have some of those unique challenges that face us that a lot of other RVers don't deal with: A whole less space to stow stuff. No basement storage is readily available to stuff the folding lawn chairs.

Being miles away from the nearest Camping World and in need of chair hanging fixtures, we hit the local hardware store. There we found a pair of utility hangers, designed to be screwed onto your garage wall, from which you could hang a ladder. Hmm, if you could hang a ladder on these racks, why not hang these racks on a ladder? We picked up four good size hose clamps along with the pair of ladder racks and headed back to the camper.

By fully opening the clamps we were able to clamp them over the hangers and the vertical shafts of the roof ladder. With the clamps cinched down, we had a completely serviceable rack for lawn chairs and our folding "patio table." Problem solved locally for less than $10.

Necessity is the mother of invention. It really pays to go to a good hardware store.
