So we're going to take a quick look at the replacement plastic ladder rung end cap on a Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder.So if you cap got damaged or broke off, this is going to be a direct replacement for the ladder rung, to make sure that that edge doesn't have any sharp points to catch your clothes or catch any other items as you're using the ladder. Makes it a little bit safer to use.So get the plastic end cap to replace one side on one rung, and then the hardware to get that installed. We'll have our two smaller screws, and then the longer self-tapping screw to go in the center.And this is designed to use with the Stromberg Carlson Exterior RV Ladder, part number LA-401 or LA-401BA. So all you'll really need to get this installed is a Phillips head screwdriver. Should match up with all three of those screws, and you'll be back out on the road in no time.The cap from edge to edge measures about 2" long, and then about 1" wide. Stands about 5/8" deep, and then our longer bolt from bottom of the head to the end of the bolt is about 2".And that's going to do it for our look at the replacement plastic ladder rung end cap for the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder..
The replacement parts arrived quickly after ordering. The fit was perfect. The price per part (I needed 8) was surprisingly steep, however $150 is much better than the cost of risking a fall when the plastic brakes completely!
This end cap was a perfect fit for my 2008 denali 5th wheel for the original ATWOOD ladder, definitely bit pricey but worth it not sure the life expectancy I guess only time will tell!
A very necessary part - many on our ladder were cracked. Expensive but not nearly as bad as replacing the whole ladder.
I was very happy to find this part a year ago. Etrailer is the only place I could find that has it. I ended up buying about eight or so. It did save me from scrapping my ladder. Unfortunately, the screws that come with the product are not the same as the originals: They rust. I wish I had known this before, I thought I was doing the right thing, throwing away all the old screws and replacing it with the new ones. Such a disappointment to utilize the rear of the coach only to be looking at rust stains.
I expect the plastic to last as long as the old ones before they crack; about 13 years.
I would say if you need it for safety; get it, but reuse your old screws.
The pictures show the etrailer oxidized screws and the original 14 year old screws non-oxidized.
They work great glad they’re available, wish they were a little less expensive!
Pricey, but quick and easy fulfillment.
Bought these to replace a few broken Kemerley pieces for our trailer ladder. It works fine, just as others have noted. Be sure to save old side screws to use on the new ladder rail end though
Used to replace failing end caps on my RV ladder apparently made by Kemberly Inc, of which I can not locate. The Stromberg Carlson are exact match except for the shorter screws, the new ones are slightly larger. I just used the old short screws instead of the new ones. Saved me from buying a new RV ladder
Bought these replacement parts for my 2008 Montana mountaineer rv ladder. Was climbing the ladder when I heard a pop and noticed a crack in the plastic. The replacement part works great, fit as expected. Bought a couple extra for the next one to go.
2006 Sunseeker 2860DS ladder end caps needed replacing. Originals were stamped Kemberly. These were a perfect fit, bought 14 for all 7 rungs, so many were damaged.
Screws are pan head and the end caps counter sunk to fit perfectly. Main screw .25" longer than OEMs, side screws slightly longer than original too.
Using ladder with confidence again.
These caps are a direct replacement for the ends on my Jayco ladder. Shipped quickly. Very happy with the service from Etrailer!
Very user friendly ordering process. Parts arrived in a timely manner.
The experience was fantastic.
Worked great and is still like new, great product
Took less than 5 minutes to install
Works and looks great
Exactly what I needed and when I did a Google search this is the 1st or 2nd site on the list but looking at the picture I knew it was what I needed and was easy to purchase through the website. This is at least my 2nd time purchases through etrailer.com and I will definitely purchase from them in the future. Thanks for making it easy.
Fit perfectly!
Replacement ladder rung end came quickly and installed easily with the provided new screw hardware. Works great and now I have a few more that are decomposing after 10 years of OEM service on my 2011 coach.

Still working great after a year
Great product would recommend them to anybody easy to install and fit perfect
Quick shipping. Would buy again. No other choice. These are ok.
This item fits properly.
It seems to be made of plastic and I've had the ladder end caps for a year and seem to hold up. I am not sure if these will last as long as the original ones. I hated the screws included. They are black oxide dipped and will obviously start rusting soon after installation. I don't like the rust stains on my RV. I had to replace them with stainless steel screws. Overall, they are ok, but I couldn't find any to replace my old ones but these. Better than using the old ones. I sure wished they were machined aluminum.

It is great
I recently bought a used 5th wheel camper and noticed the end caps on the roof ladder rungs were broken. I ordered these replacement caps without knowing the actual ladder model number and they fit perfectly in my ladder. They saved me money by not needing to replace the entire step and just repairing what was actually broken.
The team at etrailer is great to work with when searching for repairs for our toyhauler. I ordered the replacement pieces for our loft ladder. Our RV is older and I found it difficult to find the exact product I needed... These worked just fine once I realized I would have to reuse my screws from the old pieces as the new screws are course threads (probably for a different ladder) and my ladder had fine threads. My ladder now is as good as new.
The customer service though was exceptional.

Ladder is probably original to our 2005 newmar & this repair will likely last another 10 years
