Helpful Expert Reply:

The Camco Chair Rack for RV Ladders part # CAM51490 has a 60 lb weight capacity therefore so long as your Little Giant Ladder does not exceed this figure you will be good to go. I can't say we have any racks for a ladder that are designed to attach to another ladder so this might just be your best option. In order to secure the ladder I would just use some bungee cords like part # EM07037.
