I have a 2021 Entegra Reatta XL and the coach does not come with a rear mounted ladder, any suggestions on a safe ladder to use to access and and inspect the roof

I use a Ohuhu 12.5 ft aluminum telescopic extension ladder https://www.amazon.com/Ohuhu-Telesco...54&sr=8-5&th=1 for my rv and fifth wheel trailer. There are of course, other brands. Collapses to a compact size for storage and weighs ~25 lbs.

I use a Little Giant foldable ladder. It fits nicely in my basement and is stable. It is about 15 or 16 feet maxed out so I can get on top of the Entegra safely.

We have an Xtend and Climb 785p ladder, much more sturdy than many of the cheaper telescoping ladders, which can be important depending on your weight, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Core-Distribu...dp/B081D7DK8R/

The price on these has went way up though since buying ours 5 years ago when it was $201 on amazon

I second the little giant levelor. Most stable ladder I have ever owned. Works as an A-frame as well as opening up to lean against the top to access the roof. There are many chores for which an A-frame is more desirable, like washing/waxing, servicing the awning, snapping shades over the windshield and so on.
I actually seldom climb on the roof because I can reach most things on the roof while still on the ladder.

I second the Extend and Climb brand. I am a bigger guy, and even though a lot of the other extendable ladders say they support "X" amount of weight, the amount of flex in them concerns me when being used. I went with the 785P+, and am pleased with it. Was not real excited about the price, but it is probably the safest extendable ladder out there.

I see it has a 250lb limit. I need my little giant with its 300lb weight capacity.
