RV outside ladder

Pnchols, very carefully. Very slowly. That is an issue.

X2 LMAO

There is no difference from properly using a ladder to access the roof vs a built on except most built ons are not nearly as well constructed as the ladders I use around the house.
Either way you still have to transition from the top of the ladder to the roof both coming and going.

I've replaced {with the heavy duty, thick, allegedly unbreakable replacements}, all three hatch/vent covers over the last 3 years as the Arizona sun eats up the original plastic. I also get up there a couple of times a year just inspect but have yet to find anything that needed attention.

I use my 12' straight ladder slightly off of centerline at the rear of the coach and as noted go "slowly and carefully". I'm 65 and the first number when I get on the scale is still a "1".... but not by much. :B

If my coach had come with a built on I would probably be using it but it would hardly be a deal breaker one way or the other. {For the record Phil and I "usually" agree on stuff...}

As always.... Opinions and YMMV
