Your solar panels or AC is on the fritz on a hot day, and you need to quickly climb to the roof to look at them. Or perhaps there are leaves and branches on top and you want to brush them off before retracting the slide outs to head home. This exterior ladder attaches to the rear or side wall of your RV, camper, or motorhome, so you can safely access equipment on the roof for maintenance and cleaning. And because it’s made of durable aluminum construction, it won’t rust when it rains during a camping trip or snows when your RV is in storage during the off season.

Prepping for Installation

First, choose which wall you want to install the assembled ladder. Traditionally, this ladder would mount on the back, but you can also mount it onto the side, especially if your RV has a rear awning. And for this ladder to be safe to climb, you’ll need to install it onto the studs in the wall. If you’re unsure where the studs are, use a stud finder (not included).

Installs onto Your RV or Camper

This ladder can be cut it to fit your RV or camper. To see how tall of a ladder you need, just measure the distance between the top of your RV down to where you want to attach the bottom of the ladder on your RV wall. Add 8″ to that measurement to account for the ladder’s arms. Then use a cutter or hacksaw (not included) to trim the ladder until it’s a perfect fit.

Then the ladder bolts onto the roof and wall of your RV with the included mounting hardware. If the ladder isn’t a direct replacement, or if your RV doesn’t currently have a ladder, drilling will be required.

You can pivot the mounting brackets at the top of the ladder to ensure it sits flush with your RV roof, even if your roof is curved in the back or on the sides. This allows you to position the angle of the ladder so that it remains parallel to the back wall of the RV. If the roof is curved on the sides, trim the vertical section of the arm furthest away from the side of the RV, which will eliminate the difference in the slope between the arms of the ladder.

Then position the 4 included standoffs (or ladder supports) along the ladder to help keep it secure to your RV when it’s being climbed or when you’re driving to the campsite. Drilling into the ladder is required to mount the standoffs. If you want the ladder to have even more stability, you can add additional standoffs (SPN-416 – sold separately).
