folding ladder

Are you full timing ?

I don't think a 12" ladder will help much !!!! :B

I keep one of these in the trailer storage compartment. Works well for cleaning off the top of the slide, etc, and is pretty lightweight and very compact.

I bought one of the fold up ladder at a private sale for $15.00 . The Husband left for a Gf and the wife was getting rid of his "stuff" . I did not even ask her to come down in price. The ladder still had the price on it. The ladder works ok but it is heavy compared to the 8 ft alum ladder that I was using.

I am going to say both. A rear mounted ladder to gain access to the roof and a ladder like this for cleaning sides, working on awning and clearance lights.

Where are you going to haul the ladder?

I carry the CW style ladder.

+1. I just ordered the 7' GPL folding ladder from ATG which is having a 10% sale right now for the Fourth. Total was about $122/ shipped with tax (due to being a Lowes Co., and we have Lowes stores here in Mi, so get charged tax). Was cheaper then at Camping World by about $20.

I carry a telescoping ladder. Takes up only a small space, is light weight, and is fully height adjustable. Depending on where you purchase it can be pricy.

I carry a Krause model 121321 in the covered bed of my Ram 1500. It is 12' long with a single hinge and folds to 6' & can be set up as a step ladder. By far the handiest ladder I've ever used around the house and on the road. Bought it primarily for the trailer. Rated at 300 lbs.

EDIT: Just realized there was a recall on this model ladder made between Dec 1997 and May 1998. Mine is older than that and continues to work flawlessly.

If you camper did not come with a ladder it may not be built to have a ladder installed. Installed ladder have additional supports built in.

Holy organized storage, Batman!!! I'd be embarrassed to show mine!:o

To the OP, I when through the same questions and found that there was no place to install a permanent ladder without some major reinforcing. My model wasn't built with supports in the wall to install a ladder.
We now go with a folding ladder that we carry in the back of the truck. TTs are good that way. It leaves lots of room in the bed of the truck to carry stuff when you don't have a 5th wheel hitch in there.
