Need new hardware for rear ladder

[micki49]

Can anyone tell me were I can get new hardware for my rear ladder. I went to take the phil. screws out to replace them with new screws and they were so rusty that the heads just snap off. I need the threaded plug that goes inside of the 1 in. tube that attaches to the back of the RV. So far I have only broken off one screw but I know the rest will also brake off when trying to remove them.


Thank You

If not near an RV shop like me, how about a boat shop. Good hardware store.

The star nuts inside the tubes can be found at bike shops. I just replace two of them on our ladder. I also replaced the mounting screws with stainless steel screws from Ace Hardware. I also drilled "weep holes" in the tubes to let water out.

Check with your local RV dealers. We were always replacing ladders. people back into things. We always kept the old ladders for parts.
