Ladder for Full-timing

Here at home, I have a ladder I used to clean and wax our 2017 View. We're going full time soon with what will likely be a used 40' class A motorhome. Our home has just been listed for sale in a fairly hot market and once under contract, we'll start shopping for the rig.

The ladder I used and still own is the Little Giant MegaMax 17 I assume this is too bulky for bringing along full-timing in a 40-43' class A. It has the following specs as I've measured:
4'7" tall, 2' wide, 9" deep, 38.2 pounds weight.

I don't think I want this hanging on the back of the MH and doubt it will fit in storage but I guess it's possible.

What are the alternatives I should consider for full-timing?

Thanks. I'm looking to pick up a telescoping ladder as a last resort. I'd rather carry something like the one I have, which doesn't require me to lean it against the coach.

It will probably be a challenge to find something that does what I'm trying to do and still be small enough to fit in basement storage, but that's why I posted here to see if anyone has found such a ladder.

Camping World sells a collapsible A frame ladder (https://www.campingworld.com/7-double-sided-rung-ladder) that I carry (along with a telescoping ladder) in my slide out tray.
Works great for working on windows, but I need the telescoping one for getting on the roof since I have no ladder on the back of the coach.

Werner 16 ft folding aluminum. 16ft straight puts you on the roof safely. 8ft step config works for everything else. Folds to 4ft x 16 in x 12 in, has hung neatly on my rear ladder these past 6 years no issues.

Bought mine off Amazon and saved a ton of money. I like it.
