- Depends on the RV manufacturer I guess.
The ladder on my 2016 TT was poorly secured at best. Found screws not screwed in all the way, while other screw holes were stripped out. I would think all the manufacturers would look at poor ladder anchoring as a liability concern should anyone be injured or worse if the ladder were to fail while being accessed by the purchaser. :R the bear II wrote:

- Doubt there is much behind the screws but the ladder definitely needs more. The 2 fivers I have owned both had much to be desired in terms of ladder securement. Heads of screws broke off on my DRV ladder and I never hung anything off of it. Would never use the supplied ladder to access the roof.
