Rear ladder weight limit
Thinking of getting the rear ladder. I've looked on the ownerinfo site for the instructions - but it doesn't appear to give a weight limit. I'm the best part of 17 stone (but at 6'3" I've got the height to carry it off you understand ) - granted I won't be riding on it (who'd steer?!?) - but just wondering how strong the hinges on the door are?
Any of you 'larger-boned' blokes had any issues?... rattling doors... not closing properly etc etc.
I'm not sure if it's necessary - could prob just stand on the rear tailgate... or put into access height...
Thanks

Is Andrew in Wonderland again? I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?
