Use a safer, easily concealed folding ladder.
I am debating our ladder right now. The aluminum tubing seems more like decoration than safe access to the top, and I worry about it suddenly failing like I have heard the ladders of others have done. It also gets in the way of cover installation, washing, waxing, and is a decent shoulder smacker during maintenance.
I may have my neighbor build a better steel ladder, or I may just remove it, and use a stowed latter.
Were I buying new, I would try to get a coach without a ladder.
