Weldbeat VW Crafter Ladder: The Ultimate Accessory for Your Van Life

Weldbeat VW Crafter Ladder: The Ultimate Accessory for Your Van Life

Hey everyone, Mike Sleeter here from My Two Wheel Life. Today, I’m excited to dive into a product that’s making waves in the van life community: the Weldbeat VW Crafter Ladder. Whether you're a seasoned road warrior or just starting out, this ladder could be a game-changer for your setup.

Build Quality and Design

First things first, let’s talk about the build quality. The Weldbeat ladder is crafted from high-grade aluminum, and the weight of this ladder is notably impressive. Having dealt with plenty of heavy, cumbersome ladders in the past that added no real benefit, this one stands out. It’s incredibly lightweight while still being robust, which is a testament to the quality of the materials and construction. The clean welds and black powder-coated finish not only enhance its durability but also give it a sleek, integrated look on the VW Crafter.

Installation and Fit

Now, a quick behind-the-scenes story: I was initially holding off on installing the ladder until my Method wheels were on. But, let’s be honest—I just couldn’t resist the temptation to get it mounted right away. So, apologies for the photos featuring the stock wheels and tires, which, let’s face it, don’t do the ladder justice. Mason and I got the ladder installed in under an hour, and it was a breeze. The fit was spot on, with no adjustments needed. The ladder attaches securely to the van’s body and door hinges utilising a great design to not compromise the body or paint. As you know there’s no annoying rattling or movement while driving so i’m happy to report the ladder is silent after installing. Im happy to say It integrates seamlessly with the VW Crafter’s design.


Functionality and Performance

In terms of functionality, the Weld Beat ladder truly excels. Climbing up to the roof is easy and safe, thanks to well-spaced rungs and an anti-slip design. It’s perfect for accessing roof-mounted gear, solar panels, or for regular maintenance tasks. For the van life community, this ladder means less hassle and more convenience.

Conclusion

So, is the Weldbeat VW Crafter Ladder worth your attention? Absolutely. Its combination of impressive lightweight design, durability, and sleek aesthetics makes it a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their VW Crafter or Mercedes Sprinter. If you’re tired of heavy, cumbersome ladders that offer no real benefit, this one is definitely worth considering.
