telescoping ladder questions

Question

I am getting tired of dragging the old step ladder around. I am wondering what peoples thoughts are about the telescoping ladders?

Are they stable enough to climb up and wash the bugs off the front cap of a FW?

Do they leave marks or scratches on the gel coat?

I notice prices from $59 to over $400. I don't need a gold plated one, just something useable.

I know everyone sells them, but where could I get a good one at a great price?

Thanks,

Jerry

I have this model: MetalTech ladder. Very useful, easily stored in the front pass-through, but I do find it heavy.

we've been using one shown in the link above for over 10 years .... ours is a 10'er, it was fine back when we had a TT and can still do OK using it with our 5er .... if I had to do it over again I'd go with a 14' or longer .... the ends of the ladder have rubber caps which work well in helping protect whatever it is leaned up against .... when the sides of the ladder are against the camper's surface I use bumpers made from pool noodles
