As many of us have roof racks on our 4Wheel Campers, putting stuff on and off can be a bit of a challenge as it's pretty high up there. 

 

I have not seen how others are doing this, but I wanted to share what I put together.  On Pintrest, I found where someone used the top of their wheel and lower frame to make a camp table.  On it's own this has issues due to it's movement when you get in and out of the camper.  However, the idea stuck with me and I made this 'step'.

Great idea. I'm sure it could be evolved to also work as a camper leveling board!

 

On my Trooper with wide tires I stand on the tires often. Not so much with the pickup and camper. Love the idea.

Outstanding thought from outside of the box. Thanks

[Wild One]

uhhhhhhhh yep adding this to the onboard items.

 

Thanks!

Really thinking outside the box is right. One more thing to carry.
And I noticed the camper is no wider than the bed.
Still a good idea!

Also realized the wheel height and bottom fram rail should be looked at.

Simple and elegant design, I can also see it coming in handy to get out of a rut or help cross a washout.
