I can't really vote as none of the options really apply to me as i carry ladders as and when i need them...

And like you lee, that's few and far between. I suppose i only take the ladders off because A) it cuts down on weight B) There diy ladders so i'm a bit embarrsed if i'm honest  ;D and C) The noise they make when driving at speed does my head in after a while!

Oh yeah and D) i can get in (virtually) any car park without them on cos my van is only a small vauxhall combo

Oh yeah and sorrry, E) They will definitely not get nicked if there not on the van  :P

I was trad for 15 years and now just rely on the telescopic 12 foot as I have no interest in high work whatsoever now that I have WFP

I don't carry ladders in my van  for the same reason I don't carry a lawn mower or a washing machine. They're all bulky and take up room.

After going WFP, I have found no need of them.
Before going WFP, I needed them on every upstairs window without exception.

If I can't access a window with the pole, I can't access the window.
