Call Keystone, I did when I wanted to put one on my Springdale, They said NO. That's all I needed to hear. No sub structure on my unit for mounting is what I was told.

The Sprinter line doesn't offer a rear ladder (even as an option)... which typically means that the necessary (factory) bracing/framing isn't built into the rear wall.
Adding a ladder, and then the up/down weight force would likely cause damage. Some members have purchased a 'Telescoping Ladder' instead.

The Premier can't have a ladder either, so I got one of these folding ladders from camping world.

What's really cool about them is they fold up and you can slide it inside of your rear bumper. There was another brand as well I saw that has a 250lb weight limit, the one from camping world has a 225lb limit.

If you have the new Sprinter "WB" the Keystone website says they are "backed for a real ladder(exept 299)" but a ladder is not listed as one of the options so it will not come from the factory that way. If you have the old style (96" wide) there is no mention of ladder backing so I think it is probally not built to have a rear ladder installed. Our 2012 Outback was the same way. The bracing is there for a ladder but it was not offered as a factory option. Now I see the new Outbacks come with a ladder installed by the factory. As mentioned before your best bet is to call keystone and ask them to be sure.

2015 Sprinter: adding an after-market ladder

I bought a 2015 Sprinter 316BIK Wide Body, and as a previous poster stated, it does indicate it is "backed for rear ladder." However, I wasn't going to pay the ridiculous amount of money to buy and have it shipped to an authorized dealer only to be charged more money to have it installed. They quoted us a total cost of over $600!! I bought a universal ladder on Amazon. I'll update this when we install it (or find a professional to).
