DIY Ladder Installation

I'm considering installing a roof ladder to my 2021 243BHS. It has a walkable roof and stickers that indicate it is prepped for a ladder, but that was an extra add-on at the dealership. Any thoughts on this process and where I would find the proper anchor points? I'd like to have quick access to the roof for inspections, cleaning, and installing the cover at the end of the season. Backup plan is a telescoping ladder but at my weight (230#'s) it seems a good telescoping ladder is as expensive as an installed one.

If your concerned with your 230lbs & the telescoping ladder you won't feel anymore confident with the OEM type ladder.
At least the portable is useful elsewhere.

At 230 an attached ladder will come loose from the trailer and bend in short order - btdt. Telescoping is the way to go. I also have 10 & 12' A frame ladders that I use at the barn.
