For Standard Gear, What's your ladder of choice?

[obiwancanoli]

My home step-Ladder isn't high enough. My extension ladder is old, long, and rickety. And I'm thinking I need to pack an appropriate sized ladder in the storage bay for all those times when I would need to reach the top of the windshield but which would take up as compact as possible space within the bay.

Lashing to the rear external ladder isn't an option I've discarded yet, but to me, it looks tacky.

I've seen some collapsible, and telescoping options, but have no experience with either type...

What say you? What's your experience?

Thanks!

My next choice would be one of these @ $73: https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-5FT-Step-Ladder-Extension-Telescoping-Lightweight-Portable-Folding-Teles...

They claim a 330lb load capacity. You'll need some protectors if you lean it against your RV.

After trying other ladders, I settled on the 7 foot double sided folding ladder. It can be stored in a 5 inch square plastic fence post yet it's nice and sturdy when in use. I tried the single sided 5 and 6 foot models but this 7 footer is the best of them all and I wish I hadn't wasted my money on those others.

Look around good before buy because I've seen pricing from $125 to $200 on them.

This looks very interesting... will check into this one, would like something a bit higher, maybe 7-8 foot, thanks!

This is what I carry: https://www.duluthtrading.com/telesteps-1600et-16-tactical-telescoping-ladder-b-000277109.html

300 lb rated, not too heavy. Have had it for 12 years and no issues.

I use a telescoping ladder too. They aren't lightweight but they don't take up much room and will get you on the roof.

My collapsable ladder works just great. Check Amazon or CW.

I use Werner brand.

A extended handle that screws into the squeegee handle.
