Stromberg Carlson RV Ladders
- Exterior Ladders
- 99-1/2 Inch Tall
- Silver
- Stromberg Carlson
Stromberg Carlson's universal RV ladder can be attached to an RV with either a contoured or straight rear wall. The rustproof aluminum ladder fixes securely to the RV for a safe, strong hold when you're climbing up and down it.
Features:
- Exterior RV ladder has 7 steps for easy and quick access to the top of your motor home
- Pivoting mounting brackets at top of ladder ensure a secure fit on the RV roof
- Allow ladder to pivot so that it can fit different RV roof contours
- Optional hinges are included so you can use ladder with RVs that have angled, flat, or sloping rear walls
- If using hinges on a flat wall, place the lower stand-off close to the hinge to prevent flexing
- Ladder support pegs (or stand-offs) are positioned along ladder for additional strength
- Sturdy, anodized aluminum construction is durable and rustproof
- Made for stability and safety
- Customizable length - cut bottom of ladder legs to adjust length for a perfect fit
Specs:
- Weight capacity: 250 lbs
- Dimensions: 99-1/2" tall (customizable) x 12" wide
- 4 Ladder supports (or stand-offs) included
- Rung spacing: 12"
- 1-Year warranty
Note: The legs of the ladder can be trimmed for length with a hacksaw or tube cutter. When you are installing mounting brackets and support pegs, make certain that all screws are fastened to the RV's blocking or subframe on roof. If you are uncertain if your RV has backing installed, you should contact your RV manufacture to confirm. It is unsafe to use a ladder that is not connected to the RVs backing or sub frame
Stromberg Carlson's RV ladder is truly universal. Its unique design allows you slanted rear walls. Its length can be customized, and all necessary parts are included for installation.
The ladder attaches to your motor home's roof with pivoting mounting brackets, allowing you to position the angle of the ladder so that it remains parallel to the back wall of the RV. This works great for RVs with roofs that are curved toward the back. If the roof is curved toward the sides of the RV, you can simply trim the inside leg of the vertical portion of the ladder that attaches to the roof. In doing so, you will eliminate the difference in the slope between the inside and outside arms of the ladder.
For an RV with a slanted or contoured rear wall, install the included hinges between the lower and upper sections of the ladder at the point where the wall is curved or angled. If your RV has a straight rear wall, just slide the lower ladder into the upper ladder, bolt the sections together with the provided hardware, and then place the lower stand-off close to the hinge to prevent flexing.
Set the length of the ladder by trimming the lower portion where it connects to the upper portion. Make sure that the bottom step of the ladder sits between 6 and 12 inches from the top of the bumper.
The included ladder support pegs, or stand-offs, attach between the first and second steps from the top and at about 8 to 10 inches below where the two sections of ladder connect. These supports provide additional strength and keep the ladder 5 inches away from the RV's rear wall.

I used this to add a ladder to my Scamp trailer, which has no straight sides and all rounded corners. This ladder is flexible enough to accommodate this installation. I like it. It feels sturdy and looks good. 433175

My ladder had been hit and bent in a couple places. It was broke off completely on one side at the bottom so was pretty wonky to use. the 401 replacement was great as it fit right where it needed to go. Took about 3 hours and turned out looking great and solid too! 203804

I knew when I ordered that the top may not fit correctly due to the angle of the roof. I was able to cut top section of old ladder off at the first step and attach to new sections. No problems and looks great. I used all items that came with new steps stand offs ect. My old ladder was bent towards the bottom from jack knifing at cargo trailer into it. For the money you cant go wrong. 585312

I have not installed the ladder yet. Hope to get it installed next week. I did get chance to play with it some and it seems to match the ladder that I am replacing. The brackets are just a little different but pretty close. I am waiting on some Dicor Roof Compound to come in before I get started. Over all I think it will be a perfect match. 871564

This is the cheapest and may be the only way to replace a ladder. Mine is not even made anymore and was bent up. The top on the original was longer so I just cut it off and joined it to the replacement with a copper pipe inside and riveted it together. 756050

Was able to configure new ladder so that the standoffs came close to where the original standoffs attached to the rv. So I am happy that no new holes are in the rv 714030

The ladder came quickly and was exactly as described. Great!. I had backed too close to the garage, (the devil made me do it) and crushed the ladder on my Jayco. Only was damaged in the upper end, top 3 feet. Cheapest way to repair the ladder was to cut off the upper part and use that portion of the new ladder to replace the crushed part. Worked well. I will say the replacement isn't as strongly built as the original ladder but certainly will do the job, especially considering the reasonable cost. Very pleased indeed. 688446

- Mounting Dimensions for the Stromberg Carlson Ladder LA-401The side to side dimension of the # LA-401 mounting brackets is 11 inches measured on center. The mounting brackets will end up being 13 inches from the edge of the roof as well. So you would need to measure 13 inches from the edge of your trailer roof and then from there measure 11 inches on either side and you will know where this ladder would mount on your roof.
view full answer... - Replacement Ladder Needed for 2000 Tiffin Zephyr MotorhomeWhile we don't have an exact replacement for the ladder on your 2000 Tiffin Zephyr, I can say that one of our universal ladder fits should fit the bill. I recommend using the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder w/ Hinges which is made of aluminum, measures 99-1/2" x 12", and comes in Silver # LA-401 and Black # LA-401BA. The reason I recommend this ladder is because it can be cut to fit any height if you need less than the 99-1/2". If you need over 99-1/2" then we have the extension...

- How To Carry A Ladder On the Back Of a Travel TrailerThe best way to carry a mobile ladder on the back of a trailer is with a fixed ladder like the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder part # LA-401 and a carrier like the Stromberg Carlson Lawn Chair Rack part # LA-104. If you don't want to install a ladder which is very versatile might I add then you can mount the Pack'em Ladder Rack for Exterior Side Wall part # PK-28WL-BM to the exterior rear wall on the trailer. That said, they don't really offer any bolt-on ladder carrier options...

- Do You Have to Hit Wall Stud to Attach Strombert Carlson RV Exterior Ladder w/ HingesWhen installing the mounting brackets and support pegs of a ladder like the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder w/ Hinges # LA-401 onto your RV, it is important that the screws are fastened to the RV's backing or sub frame. The backing on an RV refers to a support structure in the wall, like a wall stud. So attaching the brackets to this or wall studs is necessary because the outer sheathing will not provide enough support for the ladder, especially when somebody attempts to climb it. I...
view full answer... - Replacing Rear Ladder on a 2006 Monaco Diplomat with Damaged Rear LadderSince the individual parts are not available you would need to replace the whole ladder # LA-401. You could save the extra pieces as spares in case something happens to the lower portion of the ladder. But I hope nothing happens to the lower portion of the ladder. Its just good to be prepared.
view full answer... - Ladder For Four Winds 28 Foot TrailerIf your Four Winds RV does not offer an exterior ladder on the back it is possible that the reason is because there is no suitable mounting location strong enough to support a ladder. However based on my research it looks like most Four Winds RVs have exterior ladders. When installing mounting brackets and support pegs for a ladder like the install components of the Stromberg Carlson Ladder part # LA-401, you will want to make certain that all screws are fastened to the RV's blocking...

However, the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder # LA-401 may work for you; it can be used with either a straight or contoured rear wall and the legs can be trimmed if its 99-1/2" length is not right for you. You only need to be sure this ladder is attached to the structural members inside the trailer and not just to the outer...

However, in order to be certain you will want to take a quick measurement from the roof line to the bottom of the cab. As long as the above distance does not exceed 99-1/2" tall then this ladder will be perfect for you. If it does then you will also want to add the Stromberg Carlson RV Ladder Extension part # LA-148.

view full answer... - How to Find Studs in an RV for Installing an Exterior LadderYes, you will need to know where the studs/blocking are within the walls of your RV prior to installing the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder part # LA-401. The studs could either be metal or wood, it just depends on what the manufacturer used at the time. The easiest way to find them would be with an electronic stud finder rated for both metal and wood. However, if you look for the rivets that join the panels together that should give you a good idea where the studs are as well. If...

In order to make sure you will want to take a quick measurement from the top of the roof to the bottom of the cab to ensure it does not exceed 99-1/2" long. If it does then you will need an extension part # LA-148. If it is less than this than you can easily trim the excess for an exact fit. This ladder also has hinges which makes for use...

- Recommended Ladder Replacement for a 2003 Monaco Monarch SE MotorhomeThe Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder part # LA-401 is an excellent option for your 2003 Monaco Monarch SE Motorhome to replacing an existing ladder. The hinged design will be needed for the curved rear exterior wall and the customize-able length will give you a great first step height. The locations of the stand-offs should be able to be reused for an easy install. If you need a lower step height then you can add the Stromberg Carlson RV Ladder Extension part # LA-148.

- Stromberg Carlson Ladder fit on 2009 Lance 825 Truck CamperThe Stromberg Ladder part # LA-401 is a universal ladder designed to fit as many RVs as possible. If Lance says that you can only install one of their ladders I wouldn't recommend you go against that recommendation as it could void warranties. I am sure there is a way you could install the # LA-401 on your RV if you really wanted to though. If the supports on your RV are 13 inches apart the mounts of this ladder should be able to line up with them pretty easily.

We only have one ladder that is a universal fit application, so it will fit your RV but it will not fit in a custom way. It will absolutely be able to give you a functional and strong ladder, but it won't fit the mounts that are 22 inches back on your roof.
