Rear Ladder
Do diesel pushers come with a rear ladder? We just purchased one and noticed that there is no ladder on the rear. Is that because the engine is in the rear? If so, how do you access the roof for maint...

Our previous coach ('08 Dynasty) came with a ladder and I used it quite often to check on things. I would clean the fins on the three roof-top airs, clean the three Fantastic vents and wipe off the satellite dome.
Now, on the new one, it did not come with an attached ladder. It came with one of those that can be an A-frame ladder or opened all the way to be a long ladder that you would lean against the coach.
I would like to try it once but this new coach is tall. I honestly don't feel comfortable climbing over the awning covers and then trying to get back off. I think I'll just have pay someone to take care of anything that needs attention on the roof.
The manufacturer said that I could lean the ladder against the coach (with protection from scratching) step up on the top of the slide, then onto the roof. I guess that is an option.
It would be nice to have a garage with a catwalk along that side that can drop down to get on the roof and take care of any maintenance. I've got the plans of a perfect garage in my head, with a pit and all!
