Exterior Ladder

Our coach did not come with a rear ladder. There are 3 different kinds and I'd like to hear the pro's and con's so that we can make an informed decision before we add a rear ladder. Thanks for your pros and cons in advance.

If you opt to go for a portable ladder, my recommendation is to avoid the telescoping Extend + Climb. I had one. It failed. I fell. The ladder then quit working; would not extend. The black rings between the rungs came out. I contacted the company. They first said it was not their ladder. I sent them a picture of it with their name on it. They said it was theirs but the warranty no longer covered it. Actually, I had just asked if I could send it in to get repaired. They told me, they do not repair them. They offered to sell me a new one. I'll pass. One fall is enough. Be careful with this product !

I just purchased a Forza 36G and it to came without a ladder. Rather than spend the $1000 I just purchased a 14ft collapsible ladder. It was $200 and works great.

I use my ladder often... the bottom half folds up so you can open the engine hatch. I would probably buy something like this and make it work.

Mine also did not come with a ladder. To add one would be ~$1,000.00 and I'm debating if I want one or not. My ladder would work if needed but so far I haven't had any reason to go up there. Once I get back in the barn I have a 12' step ladder that fills most of my needs for maintenance.

The Solei and Forza comes with the ladder supports in the frame. The winnebago ladder part Numbers are
161990-07-02A lower
161113-20-02A upper
These are for a black ladder and cost is about $850 bucks

Hope this helps

Mine came with a ladder, but because of a roof design they eliminated them in 2015. I like the no ladder look and I really don't go on the roof unless I'm at home. Unless you have a constant need to be on the roof, I think like others, I would look at a collapsing ladder that could be used on the road in an emergency.

The first thing you need to research is whether or not there is support enough to mount a ladder. Your dealer or the manufacturer should be able to answer that.
