The Owl Explorer Ladder + Tire Carrier combines roof access and spare tire storage. Built from lightweight TIG-welded aluminum, it supports full-size off-road tires while providing integrated ladder access and accessory mounting points. The system opens with the rear door, preserves departure angle, and installs using a single drilled mounting hole.
- Does not interfere with Parking Assist sensors on most vans
- Additional footpegs on side tube (see images)
NOTE: Requires 180 Hinges
There are two types of hinges that come on the VS30 MB Sprinter (2019+) vans: 180˚ and 270˚. All Owl rear door products require 180˚ hinges. All Winnebago REVELs, Storytellers, Tiffin GH1, and Thor have the 180˚ hinges.
Look at the attached image. If your hinges have holes, you have the 180˚ hinges (top in the image). If your doors open all the way and fold flat along the side of the van, you have the 270˚ hinges.
