Roof ladder, yes or no?

Telescoping ladder easier to climb as it is at an angle, NOT straight up like a mounted ladder. Check your slide topper??..Would you rather place telescoping ladder next to the slide and climb up 5 rungs to check or clean topper OR climb up rear mounted ladder up to the roof, walk over to slide area to check or clean, walk back across roof to rear ladder and climb back down? My telescoping ladder takes up 4 inches of my closet space.

I agree. I have had a telescoping ladder for several years that takes very little room and always goes with us when we are camping. We have ordered a new trailer which now has a ladder option but I am getting ours without for two reasons. It is too easy for anyone to get on your roof and I have a wireless weather station that goes up there when we get set up. The other reason was that I saw a used last year model on our dealer's lot and a couple of the ladder attach points had already pulled loose.
