Hi all
We have just ordered a new Expanda 20.63-1 Outback and I am just checking the factory order form.
One thing I really want to change is the bunk ladder. I don't like it sticking out at an angle during the day. It looks in the way and unsightly. My husband says we will just take it off and lay it on the top bunk during the day, but then my 9 year old son can't creep into his bed for some quiet time whenever he wants. This doesn't happen very often, but after a fight with his sister (or father!), it's nice to be able to get away. I guess we could lay it on the bottom bed during the day but still not appealing.
Has anyone managed to get an alternative? Why not a fixed metal ladder, perfectly vertical. The kids will still manage to climb it. The storage under the bottom bunk opens up so that shouldn't be a problem? Is there nowhere to attach it to?
I actually like the pieces of solid timber with big cut outs that enable climbing up, but apparently they are an option.
I feel like I am missing something?
