Took apart the ladder to do some paint repair. Anyone know what the star shaped nut is called and where I can purchase some?
maybe this is what you are looking for. I didn't read it closely.

THese are what I used.. they worked great... Hard part was getting the old rusted ones out..
I have some new tube connectors (star nuts) if you want them. I bought them and then decided to just replace the whole ladder. PM me if you are interested.

I have a whole ladder ready to go brand new. But, thinking about taking the letter off and just using my portable that I keep in the coach. Never been really comfortable walking up that ladder in the back. Don't feel like it's strong enough for my weight. And since I need to bring a ladder with me anyway I can just use that to get up wherever I need to go, and I think it looks better without the ladder.
What is weight limit of ladder on our coachs?
You could go done to your local bike store as that is what is used to hold the stem on a mountain bike.
