Winnebago Aspect - no roof ladder
We have been looking at the Winnebago Aspect lately. From everything that I see I don't think they have a ladder on them. Did I miss something? Does it really make a difference? What do I miss if ...

Did you ask them how one is supposed to perform the periodic roof inspections, as I'm sure this is a requirement of the warranty?
Or how anyone can perform any type of maintenance on the roof, for that matter? And hopefully these "weak-roofed" RVs aren't being sold to those of us up north where significant snow loads can be a factor.
Or, more likely, it's just another dealer/salesperson lie. :)

To be fair, "not designed to be walked upon" does not necessarily mean "is too weak to support the weight of a person." It could also mean that the material used is not particularly abrasion resistant or can be quite slippery or something like that. Many very sturdy things exist that are not designed for perambulation.
I do agree, though, that this case sounds more like a salesman being unwilling to admit that they don't know why there's no ladder, or (more likely) having an idea why but not really wanting to say it's because the manufacturer is being cheap or whatever.
I'm glad my motorhome has a ladder built in; it's very handy for repairs and maintenance.
