Adding roof ladder to Palomino Canyon Cat

Question

I have a 2015 Palomino Canyon Cat and love it.  I have done some mods to her like 360 roof vents, new antenna, integrated stairs, etc.  I recently saw the 2020 and 2021 models out that have a rear mounted roof access ladder.  Does anyone know if there is built in support on these new models that the ladder mounts in to?  I am looking at possibly adding a set to mine but unsure if it is possible.  Thanks.

Did your model year have an option for a ladder? If not, I'd say no. If it did and you hook into the same frame members as they do on a factory ladder, I'd say maybe ok and may not be. Do the new units have a ladder weight limit? Are you under that limit?

A more economical and useful alternative get a self stacking extendable ladder and store it in your truck. Collapsed, their only 2' by 4' and easily stored.

I would not try adding a roof ladder as the mounting points MUST go into framing.  The factory ladders are pre planned during construction.

Had 1 fifth wheel with no ladder, present one has ladder. I would rather carry an expandable ladder than have a built in one.
