No RVIA sticker on 2012 Nexus 24P
I do not see a RVIA cetification sticker on the 2012 Nexus 24P Im considering should that be a concern and also no ladder for roof access
Forum Discussion
I would not buy a Class C motorhome without a solid built-in roof ladder.
The roof area takes maintenance ... sometimes at home or in storage and sometimes to fix surprises that occur while out and about on trips. How on earth you gonna safely get up there by squirming sideways off a step ladder or by contorting to step off a ladder propped against the side ... and are you going to carry the unsafe folding or telescoping ladder along for emergency roof access while on trips?
I won't list the routine and emergency maintenace reasons to be up on the roof of one's Class C. That's a topic for another discussion.
If RVIA means anything at all (I believe it does and appreciate it's tag showing on my RV.), then one of it's requirements should be that RVIA compliant Class C motorhomes have built-in roof access ladders capable of taking, say, ~300 lb. climbers up there year after year without developing leaks at their attachment points.
