My lovely wife and are are both short. I'm 5' 6'' and she  is 5' 2''.
Snicker and point if you wish, but the two of us fit very cozily  into
the lower bunk. What we can't do comfortably is reach the  built-in
luggage rack on the roof, or get up into the upper bunk  without
clambering all over the counter.

We could use some kind of  very lightweight leanable collapsible or
otherwise easily-stowed ladder.  Hangable from the upper bunk like on a
bunk bed; and leanable against the  outside so a short guy could fuss
around with luggage without needing to  hold on for dear life like I have
to do when I stand on a  seat.

Anything like that out there?

Mike, yes there is !  My good buddy Hans makes  them.  I have one and it's
been great.  I have copied him this message  and he should contact you directly.
