The look reminds me of a swimming pool ladder. :) Not exactly the look for my taste.

I do have a ladder like that, and I find it pretty useful for maintenance and cleaning and such. Yes, it does have the looks of a swimming pool ladder, though seemingly not nearly the sturdiness of one. But it is far more convenient than dragging out an extension ladder (and finding someplace safe to lean it up) or buying and keeping a 10 or 12 foot step ladder.
I also have a "roof rack", which is little more than a kick rail a few inches above the rooftop and winding around the outside of the back several feet of the roof. That's what seems utterly useless and pointless to me; I can't imagine any situation where I'd want to tie anything onto my RV's roof (and risk puncturing it, and raise the overall height and clearance requirements even more, and make a top-heavy vehicle even more top-heavy....)
