Bill, I have a Little Giant and last year I left it home and got a folding step ladder from CW. It is a nice ladder but not as tall as the LG. I took my bikes off the ladder bike rack but left the rack on the ladder. This year I may bring the LG with us again on that bike rack. The one thing I will make sure of though is that once the ladder is in place I will strap it down so tight that it has NO bounce ability. This will keep it from tearing the ladder off the rig if we hit a hard bump. Last year when we had the bikes on that rack we hit a RR xing and took a severe jolt. When we got home I discovered that the bikes had bounces so hard that two of the ladder bolts had snapped off. I replaced the bolts and now carry the bikes on a "front of truck hitch" mounted bike rack. I am not sure if this will work or not. I used to carry the ladder just inside of my tailgate without any problem. It lay flat on the bed of the truck.
By the way, the folding step ladder fits nicely inside the basement. I hope this makes sense... Dave
