What do ya need a mounted ladder for , the roof ain;t stong nuff to walk on ?
Our Winnebago's roof is strong enough to walk on if I was foolish enough to stand up while up there. It's one piece fiberglass and nicely crowned for added strength and water runoff.
I've had to get up on the roof at home, at campgrounds, or while parked along side the road for various reasons down through the years ... not standing up though ... I crawl around up there on hands on knees to distribute my weight and for better personal stability once climbing up using the permanent rear ladder.
I'd NEVER buy an RV that I (or another helper when I'm "old") couldn't climb up on using it's built-in ladder. There's just too many surprises on trips that can come along anywhere, anytime - plus roof maintenance at home is so much easier than having to mess with getting on/off the roof using the dangerous ladder on the side method.
