STOWABLE VEHICLE LADDER

A stowable ladder for a vehicle includes a base, a support, at least one step and a retainer. The base may be rotatably coupled to the vehicle, the support is coupled to the base at a first pivot, and at least one step is coupled to the support. The support is movable about the first pivot so that the ladder can be arranged in a folded position and an unfolded position. The retainer selectively prevents and permits rotation of the base from a stowed position to an extended position.
