- PastorCharlieExplorerWorking heights of ladders are about 3' shorter than actual height of the ladder.
- swphotobugExplorerDepends what size. We carry an aluminum 2 step platform ladder(very light weight) we found a Home Depot and a telescoping ladder for higher access.
- rgatijnet1Explorer IIIWe carry one like this. It sits flat in the basement, holds 330 pounds, and is 12.5' high. More than enough to get on the roof of the coach.
Telescopic ladder - VoodooMedicineMExplorerI found one of these by the dumpster last year. Works great.
- Two_JayhawksExplorerI carry a telescoping ladder that expands to 15'5". If the ladder is intended to get you on the roof safely I recommend no less than a 12' model.
- RWjSIM2003ExplorerI carry a little Giant ladder fits in storage of our 5er. Extends to 15ft so easy to get on roof of RV and Very sturdy.
- Dutch_12078Explorer III carry a 7' aluminum step ladder in a bin for window washing, etc. I use the factory rear ladder for roof access.
- Isaac-1ExplorerI too carry a telescopic ladder, in particular this one https://smile.amazon.com/Xtend-Climb-785P-Telescoping-Professional/dp/B000JIL4Z8
before buying one watch this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7evGSkOPVg
Breakage is a concern of mine as I use mine to access the top of my windshield on my slope nose 2002 Safari Trek, so have to set it up at a much shallower angle than one would normally use to not have the ladder lean on the glass windshield.

Little Giants are a bit on the heavy side but you don't have to worry about it collapsing on you. - bdpreeceExplorer II

There is a reason it was in the dumpster. Had one that I that I laid under my motorhome, the wind blew sand into the hinges and I never could get it to open or collapse correctly again. Finally tossed it. Also never felt safe on it as it did not seem very sturdy,
