The collapsible ladder I mentioned from CW folds to a 4"x4' square x87" long. It appears to be on sale there for about $138. Takes up very little room and weighs about 25lbs. The Werner MT-13 is a very good ladder. I have it's big brother (not for the RV). They are stout but fairly heavy and they don't collapse side to side to my knowledge.

Desert185 - please be careful using the roof ladder. Just read a post in this forum from a gentleman whose ladder pulled loose from the top and dropped him 10' onto a curb. I just took my RV in for a loose ladder. EVERY screw and bolt in it was loose. After it was repaired I just looked at the service manager and asked him how in the world they rated something so flimsy for 300lb service. He just shrugged and said "I wouldn't do it"; well, neither would I. I would not trust the roof mounts for repeated uses but I'm about 200 and think I'm pushing what it will actually hold.

Apparently, ladders and chainsaws are more dangerous than motorcycles. Better go riding...after I cut my last half cord this season. Thanks for the thought, though. I'll be careful.

I'm already carrying the "kitchen sink". A ladder and a leaf blower is out of the question.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I would check with your manufacturer and make sure you CAN put them on. Some rigs DON'T have the substructure to bolt them to. I called Keystone about my 1st rig (a Springdale) and they said I couldn't put them on because there was nothing to bolt them to. (Same went for when I wanted to install a ladder) The dealer would have installed them anyway.

We have had them installed before delivery on both the 5er we owned. We like them and would order them again. GPG
