For what it’s worth, I used the nylon flat washer and metal flat washer with the Gzilla 1/4 -20 Track Nut. I made short video of it on Youtube if anybody else is trying to mount the Cascadia Vehicle Tent Mount Hood Ladder brackets to the extrusion

Thanks, this is helpful and I think I’ll go the same route. I optioned and paid for my GFC earlier this week, so trying to get some stuff ordered before its ready.

I got the iKamper HC Ladder because of the angled steps. Made some brackets out of square tube aluminum for deploying the ladder.
I like the V1 style add-on @Rprogress added to this ladder.
Is anything like this possible on a V2 camper? The store page for the GFC V2 ladder has the same photos as the V1 so I’m not sure how it connects.
I just ordered the CVT ladder as well. The Vegas location says “closed until 8/5” so I called and spoke to someone at the Bend, OR office who helped me order. 20% off right now, which was a pleasant surprise.

So what was your final cost with shipping?
Nice $20 less then why I paid.

Does anybody have intel on the V2 Ladder with the Mantis Claw? For some reason my brain isn’t understanding how the “Mantis Claw” interacts between the camper and the ladder.
@Mike_GFCUSA a shop vid or pictures of it use would be bitchen!
Video coming this week. It’s super badass, a lot more robust and cleaner than anything else on the market by a huge margin.

I think the Mantis Claw should work fine with the V1 camper. It’s compatible with the V1 ladder and the mount just attaches to the extrusion, which is the same on both campers.
@GFC Ladders have a lot of play and moving around when climbing up and down plus the movement of the truck when using it. Especially when you’re parked on uneven ground. What prevents the claw from popping out when seated in the groove of the mounting hardware?
