Question Mounting FMCA placard

My last coach did not have a Ladder, but my new Tiffin A Bus does. How have others attached the FMCA plack to their ladder. I was considering zip ties, but was not sure they would be substantial enough. All ideas welcome.

I zip tied mine to the motor cover hatch on the driver's side.

Agree with 777. I purchased the ladder supports and they work great.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

I've been using zip ties as holders for years. Sure can't beat the price and convenience. Be sure to use substantial ones and be sure they're black as they resist UV. If and when one breaks, it's about 1 minute and a few cents to replace. Use three, one at the top to hold the placard up so you can still climb the ladder.

One thing nice about the Kiley Mold bracket is that it offsets the installation closer to the coach body which allows easier use of the ladder steps with the plaque installed.

Yeah, I know, nobody really uses that ladder.

Take care,
Stu

Since I don't have a ladder, my FMCA plaque is zip tied to the rear air grill.

Being Thrifty and Innovative, I pulled a few of theses out of my junk box and built my own! Had to find 2 nuts and bolts to help.
