We had an '84 Holiday Rambler Class C. We carried a 5-foot aluminum stepladder. We leaned it unopened against the edge of the cabover bunk. The height was about even, so I think your "60-inch" estimate is right on the money. I toyed with modifying the ladder, removing the back legs and the bucket shelf, but I never did. We used that coach with the cabover bed always "open" as in ready to use. In fact we had a residential innerspring mattress up there, so there was no closing the bed.
I also thought of starting with a wooden ladder, carpeting the steps, eliminating the back, installing brackets, maybe extending one side to form a hand grip at the top like a "pueblo ladder." Our aluminum ladder had rubber feet and the coach was carpeted, so the closed ladder leaning against a bunk that couldn't close never slipped or moved.
