Our first TT which we owned for ten years came without a attached roof ladder. When we purchased a new TT in 2016 we made sure it came with a factory installed roof ladder. Wouldn't be without it again.
I don't get on the roof often but sure is nice for inspecting the roof and vents and all the calking. I never found a tall step ladder as the greatest tool for transitioning on or off the trailer roof. Plus I would never carry one along on our travels.
Friends of ours wanted to add a roof ladder to their 2015 5th wheel trailer and were told not to do it. Being they didn't order it as a manufacturer installed item, there wasn't any reinforcement provided in the wall for extra support.
