Trying to come up with an elegant way to attach this ladder to my RTT

[alia176]

I'd like to find a cool way to connect the top of my ladder to the Autohome RTT. I'm thinking using a simple pin system to connect the ladder to the receiving system, which will be bolted to the side of the lower part of my RTT. Please let me know if you have ideas for the receiver system!

You didn’t like the Autohome ladder that was included in your tent?

Use a quick release ball lock clevis pin.
Super easy.

That's the easy part, show me the part that's going to be attached to the RTT. However, I'd like to use the pin in the pic unless there's something sexy that can stay with the attachment point on the side of the RTT.

Thank you sir, that's a concept I haven't considered. Their ladded is a hook style vs mine is a eye style. Still, this has some merit and I'll think about coming up with a design similar to this one.

They have shiny, pretty things but nothing is applicable in this case. Bummer.

I would just use a slice of extruded C-channel aluminum with a cross-hole drilled into it. Rivet that to the tent, slide the pin through C-channel and ladder ring...

Yup, that's exactly what I'm doing now except I don't have a fancy extruded anything here in the garage so I'm making one up using a square tubing.
