Stromberg CarlsonLA-401BA Universal Exterior RV Ladder, Heavy-Duty Rear Ladder for Travel Trailers & Campers, Roof Access, Durable Black Finish, Easy Installation, Universal Fit, Black

I cut the bottom off and made a bracket that attaches to my back bumper for the ladder to attach to so my weight is carried by the bumper instead of solely by the wall of the camper. Other than* my modifications, the ladder itself is as expected. You don't want a 100 pound steel ladder weighing down the back of your camper so this is what's available on the market. It's very lightweight and not what you call sturdy...exactly what you want in an RV ladder. I suppose you could find a carbon fiber ladder that would be solid and sturdy and last forever. Of course it would still attach to a flimsy RV wall and would probably cost a million dollars so I went with this one. Works great. I'm 180#'s. Not 180 hashtags. That's the symbol for pound if you're not a millennial. Also, check my use of the word "than". It is used in the proper context. If you would have used the word "then" then please check into the proper use of the words then and than. It is becoming an epidemic people. Let's fix this social illiteracy!

Guys this ladder is just what I wanted!! Honestly for the money it's worth every penny, I bought this for my schoolbus conversion and at first I was very hesitant to buy because it is allot cheaper than it's competition the lovely thing about this ladder is that you can literally customize it for any vehicle it took me about 30mins to install, I have tested this ladder with many of my family and friends and it can definitely hold weight that's not a concern!

received this package and it was a total wreck. The box was totally destroyed. Though the ladder looks OK, there were parts missing. I have contacted the company and am now waiting to see what they will do to make it right.Will come back later with an update. UPDATE after sending via email pictures and paperwork to the company, they quickly shipped me the necessary parts. Once we had all the parts, it was easy to assemble and install. Seems solid.

Great product at a good price. Make sure your RV has mounting plates in the wall prior to ordering. Mine had bunks in the rear so framing was in place to mount to. If you're not handy at these types of installs then this will give you fits. Part of this installation is best done with a helper for an extra set of hands.

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.

Not a bad price, install is difficult, needs more standoffs and a better set of roof mounts to be more secure. The box it shipped in is the flimsiest cardboard I have seen. It was shredded and parts were sticking out. Somehow the smaller pieces stayed inside. They must get a lot of returns due to the poor packaging. Amazon gave me a discount due to some minor damage and I made it work but be prepared. A good stud finder and a strong magnet will help you find good mounting points. I used the rear bumper as the bottom support. Lots of cutting and mods to make this work. As a replacement for a damaged ladder probably fine since you could use existing mounting points but trying to find secure points in a newer RV with laminate walls is challenging.

Came well packaged and is of a good quality.

Works well

Pic show that it can take a max of 250lbs.. setting it up was ok... You got to watch what you cut to fix.. if you want the steps to be equal. Very light weight. The width of the steps I'd narrower than what I took off. I don't go on the roof a lot but it's good to have one for emergency. It's better than spending $800 what the RV store was asking.

Easy to install and looks great and proportion to the size of my 32 foot motor home. I was concerned when upon arrival the packaging was quite damaged and thought parts and pieces would not be enclosed. I was fortunate, but I certainly would improve and secure the contents if I were this company. Other than that no complaints.

Replacement for rv unit.Works fine looks good.

Product was perfect for my motorhome
