Hey folks — looking for the community’s thoughts.
I designed a self-storing ladder that mounts to the roof rack and deploys in seconds. It started as a personal “there has to be a better way” idea, and now it’s something I rely on every trip. Just received the patent for it, and before I go any further, I want to sanity-check the concept.
Do you think this would be useful for others loading/unloading cargo boxes, kayaks, recovery gear, etc.?
Or is it a solution in search of a problem?
I value the brutally honest feedback — thanks in advance!
