JR 257, Tell the salesman nice try, you can't find an aluminum stud/frame with a magnet... good grief, some folks would say anything to make a sale. I personally would never trust an aftermarket roof ladder. You can never really know if you have it secured in a safe manner.
Just my opinion
Just a quick google search tells me that the Nexus has STEEL framing.
If so, a magnet will certainly find the studs!

Nexus frames their coaches in steel which is 72% stronger than the conventional (cheaper), aluminum framing found in most coaches. I have no desire, much less need to start drilling holes into the steel framing to add a ladder. My 12' multi position ladder (think Little Giant without the hype), leans nicely against the rear of the coach extending well above the roof line. No problem whatsoever stepping securely/safely onto the roof
or getting back down, but then the full fiberglass one piece roof doesn't require all that much maintenance.
Sometimes folks tend to search for a solution for which there is no known problem....
