Another Meaningless thing to make you go Hmmm

What is the reason the rear ladders on some RV's are mounted on the right, like mine, and some are on the left?
There is no reason ( that I can See)that mine couldn't be mounted on the left. Not really important in the scheme of life, just going hmmm. :h :B

    My RV roof certainly is strong enough for me to walk on. It's a fairly rare trip that I don't have some reason or another to want to climb up there to check or adjust or sweep off or clean something, be it pine needles or little sticks or whatever (or even to get some elevation for a better photograph someplace).

    IN my case the ladder was mounted on the driver's side because the Shower is on the curb side. But I think it's installer's preference in many cases.

    That would be my thought.

  • Could be only one side or the other may have the framing to support the ladder.
