For those who have both a wolfbox rear camera and a rear hatch ladder, how much of the ladder is in the view of the camera?

Any examples would be greatly appreciated!

I have both and it's not enough to obscure your view but it is partially visible. I have the WCD ladder and it does set off the backup alarm when backing up to the right for a second or two which is one of the design flaws with the WCD ladder..

I'll snap a pic of the mirror image in a bit.

Thank you for the photo. Are you able to show where you mounted the camera externally? I'm about ready to get a rear ladder but just want to make sure I do my research first.

Is the alarm always going off when backing up? or does it go away after the second or two?

We're installing the camera this weekend and have the Westcott ladder mounted on the left (no issues with the backup alarm and the ladder). We're also installing a rear tire swing-out, so moving the camera to just under the rear spoiler. I did extensive research on this all, so I'll come back and post photos etc.

How do you like the WCD ladder?

Personally I think they missed on this design. First step is useless because of the height from the bumper and the 3rd step is almost against the plastic of the hatch. I wish they would have lost the first step and just use the bumper for the first step and kick the whole thing out another inch to get better foot placement. JMHO

I talked to them this morning about another project and brought these things up to them. They seemed totally uninterested.

I didn't even mention that with the WCD roof rack and the WCD ladder I now have (4) bottle openers on the back of my rig. And their shiney, the only shiney thing on my rig.

BTW, quit drinking years ago...lol

They seem very we know better than you. I had issue with the awning mounts and they told me read the specs and when I pointed out specs are wrong they said just drill a new hole. This is also after they sent me something that didn’t work with their own stuff.

you actually installed all those? I left then off.
