Hurricane roof ladder weight limit question

Question

We are in the process of purchasing a Four Winds Hurricane. When speaking to the owner he mentioned that the rooftop ladder only has a weight capacity of 150 lbs. Does that sound right? I can't imagine that roofladder would be functional for even checking the condition of the roof. I don't know very many people that would have the skills to inspect a roof that wight less than 150 lbs.

Doesn't sound right. My Ace has a sticker on the ladder that says 300lbs.

I think most roof ladders will handle up to 300 lbs.  I'm at 205 and I have used our ladder for 15 years now.  Last year I had to rebuild it as some of the fittings were loose or cracked.

I'm 230 and the ladder creaks and moans every time I go up it, but holds me. I would not suggest you attach anything heavy to it such as bicycles.

2007 Hurricane 30Q.  I weigh 250 and go up the ladder regularly.
