Installing ladder on trailer ???
I am wondering if its worth it. Is it difficult to find studs for mounting and is it really necessary. How many times do you need to go up there. Opinions and comments appreciated.

Another agreement here. Back in the day, when I wasn in the US Navy,
vertical ladders I could navigate. Now many years later, and over my "playing" weight, I can't use a ladder. MY trailer has one, but I can't use it, I quickly found out.
But I had been insisting that any new RV would have a ladder, but at that point I hadn't tried to used one.
To the op, I definitely would not add a ladder to a trailer that didn't have one, because it's too easy to miss the vertical studs. Too much risk for too little reward.

Just an observation that no one else has mentioned BUT having climbed a trailer mounted ladder I find it FAR more difficult going straight up than on an incline when climbing a stand alone ladder propped against the trailer. ;)
