An RV's permanently mounted rear ladder can serve two different purposes with the right accessory. A 503L ladder extension helps you reach an existing rear ladder from the ground, while a 501BR bike rack provides a ladder-mounted carrier for two bicycles. The products attach to the ladder in different ways and are not replacement rungs or permanent vehicle ladders.

Which Surco ladder accessory do you need?

How the pieces work together

Identification of ladder and accessory connections
Installed rear ladder

The original ladder remains securely fastened to suitable RV structure and must be appropriate for the added accessory.

503L removable extension

The upper hooks engage an appropriate ladder rung or rail arrangement; its lower feet must rest stably on suitable ground when in use.

501BR bicycle carrier

The rack attaches to a compatible ladder, with its arms supporting two bicycles during transport.

Simplified identification guide, not a drilling template or a scaled manufacturer installation drawing.

503L: detachable extension

The 48-inch 503L is made of heavy-gauge aluminum with a bright-dipped finish and wide non-slip steps. The manufacturer describes twisting hooks for installing and removing the extension without tools. It is designed to extend an RV ladder down to the ground; measure the actual height and check the hook engagement and footing at your vehicle.

501BR: bicycle carrier

The 501BR is a two-bicycle ladder rack made for attachment to a van or motorhome ladder. It installs without removing the ladder. Verify the ladder's size, strength and fastening to the RV, along with the rack's mounting configuration and the weight and shape of the bicycles. The two-bike designation is not a statement of an unlimited combined bicycle weight.

Before attaching anything to an RV ladder

  1. Check the existing ladder is securely mounted and inspect its rails, rungs and stand-off supports for damage.
  2. For the extension, verify compatible hook engagement, ground contact, available height and a clear climbing path.
  3. For the bicycle rack, confirm the ladder and RV manufacturer's permitted accessory loading, attachment location and required bicycle retention.
  4. Remove or secure accessories as directed before travel; check clearance around the rear lights, doors and other vehicle equipment.
