I prefer the ladder to the back. The tail gate and back window can be left open in inclement weather. With the awning installed easy access to interior.
Im about to buy the awning and awning extension from Tepui and was wondering what is the lenght of the awning extension when its all folded up. Deciding where to tie it down for transport since I have drawer system in my FJ and couple of storage totes on the stock roof rack.
