Phil, most of the ladders I see on Class C's (and some A's), leave a lot to be desired when it comes to structural integrity. Not sure most of them would support my chubby butt. :B There are lots of extendable/foldable ladders out now that can stow fairly small and yet extend straight out to 12' for more. This is what I have in the garage and this type seems to be gaining in popularity with the Class A/Fiver crowd as I've seen quite a few lately.
I place mine on the rear of the coach on centerline and the fiberglass roof at that point is nearly flat with pretty good traction. Getting up and down makes me nervous and I spend as little time as possible up there. A solid factory installed ladder would have been OK with me but when you buy used you take what you get. Lastly, the fewer holes drilled into my rig the better I like it.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
