The foam pipe insulation cost about $1.26. I doubt they will be too upset with this purchase LOL.

I leave the bottom half of the MH ladder at home. Instead I carry a standard 6' aluminum ladder that I place under the ladder permanently attached to the back of the MH. Climb up the 6' ladder to the MH ladder, then on to the roof. That way I have a ladder I can use to get on the roof and a ladder that reaches everything else on the MH.

Great idea dogpatch! Use the same pipe insulation to protect wiper blades from sunlight while parked.

Sorry but true, Tim

Lack of roof ladders

Great idea, if you are at home but what about when you are on the road? I guess you can duct tape it to the back of your 1/4+ million rig!

Nice trick but one nit to pick... You applied to the rails, not the rungs,,, The Rungs are where you put your feet.
Still good job.. I use some special ladder bumpers when I lay the ladder against the side,, Same concept.

Neat idea and the price is right. Personally I would use a swim noodle, the closed cell foam would last longer and add more protection.
