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

    On my last Keystone (2010) one of the end brackets on one of the rung ends failed/cracked. On my 2013 Keystone, the rung ends are beefier, better quality. So far so good.

  • Interesting to know what would fail first, the ladder or the ladder attachment to the trailer.
  • Mine's stickered 300 pounds and I'm 265 usually. I hate that dang thing, but I've never seen anything to indicate that it's losing the battle when my fat-a$$ climbs up or down it.
  • Mine says 300. I am 240. I use it very gingerly. I never put all my weight on one rung as I don't trust it.
  • The ladder on my Canyon Trail is rated for 300#s. I doubt that all ladders on RVs would be rated the same.

    That being said, I don't think I'd be climbing mine, if I weighed 280!
