LA-401 Universal Exterior RV Ladder, Heavy-Duty Rear Ladder for Travel Trailers & Campers, Roof Access, Durable Silver Finish, Easy Installation, Universal Fit, Silver

Good ladder very sturdy and easy to set up.

Doesn't seam like it would be sturdy but once installed it is very sturdy, at time I installed I weighed 350lbs and it's rated 250lbs and held me very well now I've lost alot of weight, so can't wait to try it out this summer.

This is a good product for the money and the modular nature of the product gave me what I needed. First I should say that I did not mount mine like it is shown in the product photos. Because of where the roof support members are located on my rig (and because I HATED the thought of putting holes in my rubber roof) I decided to mount my unit to the back wall of my rig instead of having the top portion go up and onto the roof. (see photos attached). Installation was pretty simple. It took me about 4 hours but most of that time was spend figuring out how I could make what I had work with, work the way I wanted to since I was improvising. Thankfully the product is very modular and can be mounted in a number of ways based on how creative you are. Mounting to the roof is sturdier for sure since the roof picks up a lot of the load of you standing on the ladder. Since I wasn't doing it that way I had to come up with an alternative way of supporting the downward forces. I decided to mount the lower portion of the ladder on my back bumper to support the vast majority of the load. Then I used the 4 stand-off mounting posts (If they would have given me more than 4 support mounts I would have given this 5 stars) to secure to the back wall, making sure to hit studs behind the metal siding. There was some modification of parts but very easy to do. In the end I wound up with exactly what I was looking for with a modest investment of my time. Small disclaimer: I'm a contractor & mechanic so what I consider "easy modifications" and installation others might find more difficult. But basic tools and common sense goes far with this product.

Does exactly what it is intended to do. I am 240 or so and it holds up great and is very sturdy. Beware however, most likely your wall studs on your camper and the cross beams on the roof will not line up, however there are several points to distribute weight. Also you are not supposed to be on your camper roof more than 2 to 3 times per year. Most important point (maybe just me?) is that install was tough and you will need at least 2 people to pull it off.

Good price. Had to send first back as it was missing parts (be sure to check when you first receive) but Amazon immediately sent out a new one before I'd even returned the old one (as my rig was sitting at the fixit place running up the meter to install it). I had them install as it needed some modifications and I wanted to ensure it was done securely and sealed well. It was actually only installed top and middle as I have a bumper toolbox mounted in the way of where it would mount at the bottom. They were able to modify and adapt things as needed so I now have a bottom piece that hooks over one of the steps and then comes to rest on the toolbox. Since then I've been up and down it and feel comfortable with it's quality. Be aware it is narrow, but doable to climb with a little care. Was a great addition to my rig after having scratched paint leaning ladders up against it :-(

General product, Not just a snap together ladder. I used most of my old parts from roof mounts and stand off brackets as old parts was 4 times stronger then what came in parts kit, cut new stand offs out of extra ladder tubing. I used 3/16 x 1/2 inch pop rivets that made it much stronger then screws. That is how Fleetwood installed from factory. Only reason I bought this manufacture is because I wanted to go back where mounts was from factory this is 11 inch center side to side and others are 12 inch center.

It took me 3 hrs. To install and I had to get my neighbor to help. 1. Adjust ladder to fit curved roof after you determine placement. Hold ladder level and measure the distance that one foot is off the roof. Cut that distance off the adjoining foot, drill new hole, mount retaining brackets. Do not screw feet to roof yet. 2. Determine from the frame of your camper where you will mount the 4 wall brackets. My stud finder did not locate the frame. I knew there would be framing material around the window so I located two brackets above and two brackets below my window. My window was 31 inches long. I used metal roofing screws with rubber washers. I put sealant on all the feet before mounting. I angled the screws for better holding. Remove screws that secure the black plastic part to the wall brackets. Tape the black plastic to the wall brackets. Now have someone hold the top half of the ladder in place, hold the wall bracket in place between camper and ladder and Mark it. Do this for all four wall brackets if the all mount to the top half of the ladder. Remove ladder and screw wall brackets to camper. 3. Reposition top half of ladder and Mark hold positions to mount ladder to wall bracket. Remove ladder, drill holes, reposition ladder and attach it to wall brackets. 4. Add sealant and attach roof brackets. 5. Now you are ready to attach bottom half of ladder. Hold the bottom ladder in position with it overlapping the upper ladder. Determine where you want the bottom feet to mount on the camper. My bottom feet extended to the bottom of my back wall where there was framing material. It may be easier to tape the bottom half in position. Get the hinge bracket. Hold it against the two overlapping ladders and Mark the upper and lower ladder where the hinge will connect them together. Remember the hinge will insert 5/8 inch in each ladder. Make your mark accordingly. Now use a tube cutter to cut off both ladders. Insert the hinge in the bottom ladder, drill and mount. Assemble bottom half of ladder to top half of the ladder with hinges inserted in top half. Drill and mount top half of hinge to top ladder. Mount bottom feet to camper using screws and sealant. Hint:. Before cutting off ladder check where rungs will be located. Good luck.

bought this for our fifth wheel, good quality and installation was simple enough,

Product arrived quickly. I installed in on my full sized Citation Camper. (original had some damage, due to backing into something, before I bought it) As my camper is quite a bit smaller than a full sized motor home, I had to cut about 18 inches off. It is a little intimidating to cut the ladder, but with some forethought it worked out great. The hardware is similar to the original, with the ladder being slightly lighter in gauge. I installed the stand-offs in the original locations so, there was minimal hole filling. The instructions are not the greatest, but if you lay everything out beforehand, it will make sense. It doesn't feel like it should support a 200 pound man, but it does.. Would have given 5 stars if the instructions were more complete and easier to understand. Note: this product would be recommended for anyone with some intermediate tool sense. Not for beginners.

Easy to install

Product doesn't have top handles of Ladder and no instructions... Looks like someone cut off handles and returned item then it was sold to me. I left the package unopened until today when I was going to install it. To find parts missing.... Now I have a broken Ladder and an unusable replacement Ladder.
