Max weight on roof access ladder
Does anyone know what weight the ladders are rated for? I weigh 200 lbs and the ladders on the rear of the 5ers to gain acces to the roof don't appear all that sturdy.......:h

RVIA says they are supposed to be rated for 300 minimum.
BUT: Not all of them are really attached to anything behind the fiberglass cap. There should be a 1x4 backer or a steel plate inside but since nobody can see it there have been manufacturer who may have skimped on it. Most Titanium ladders have no center support due to the big picture window. A couple of our owners have noticed that the LOWER mounting screws were failing and found that the bracket was attached only with sheet metal screws. I pulled the passenger's tail light and could see that the 1x4 was in place on mine. So much for QC
