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.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Stromberg Carlson RV exterior ladder with hinges, part #LA-401. To gain access to the roof of your camper or RV, for cleaning, maintenance, setting up antennas or any other needs. The Stromberg Carlson exterior ladder can be customized to fit your specific camper or RV. The pivoting mounting brackets and hinges ensures that it can be mounted to angled, sloped, and flat walls or roofs. Because it's customizable, it can be mounted on the side or rear, whichever works best for you. As you can see on this camper here, we've got it mounted on the side and it works out nicely. When your ladder arrives, it's going to be 99 1/2 inches tall.
However, you can shorten it to any length you need. To achieve your desired height, you will have to cut some of the tubes. We recommend a hack saw or a pipe cutter. The rungs are 12 inches apart and feature a textured non slip surface. It secures to your camper or RV at 8 different locations for safety and stability.
We have two here at the bottom, two here at the center, two here at the top and at the very top with the uprights you have two more. All the hardware you need to get it installed is included. It's constructed of a light weight aluminum so it won't corrode or rust and it has a weight capacity of 250 pounds. That's going to complete our look at the Stromberg Carlson RV exterior ladder with hinges, part #LA-401.

Works and looks great. Take your time i nstalling. 776210
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
Pete N - 09/16/2018My 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
Great ladder, great price, and easily installed. Fit adaptability (cut to fit) was especially beneficial. 139934
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
On time, product what I expected. E-trailer has tremendous customer service! 770349
Ladder was easy to install fit perfect and working fine. Good product! 759158
Product just as stated. Installation as a breeze. Was delivered before the stated time. Thank You etrailer 757126
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
so far great!!!!! 696614
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
The ladder is mounted on the rear of the motorhome and it looks great. I have yet to use it but it still looks good after a year. 680813
The product appears to be in good shape after UPS destroyed the box. I am surprised that all the parts were there. 672361
Received the ladder promptly. No problem installing. Was surprised that it was 95% identical To the one I replaced. 660602
Better then expected strong and looks great 658708
The ladder worked out perfect, good qua lity. 646424
easy to install and very sturdy 641449
Worked well after modification to match my specific need. Matched existing ladder rungs and side rails perfectly. 635213
The ladder matched up perfectly on my motor home. Easy attachment with only a slight amount of trimming to match length. 625466
The ladder seems a bit flimsy. Not a confidence builder and I weigh 200 lbs. The stand-offs are too short and I had to rig a solution. It works. 622015
Carol: Yesterday for fact I installed the ladder I ordered from Etrailer . I am very satisfied with the fit. The trailer has a contoured back it worked very well 617416
Is there anyway that I can get some ladder step Plastic inserts Two for each step I will pay for them if you can get them for me I need at least 20 599277
Extremely fast service. I have a Dutchman Voltage V-3905 Toy Hauler. etrailer recommended that I get the LA-401 ladder and the LA-148 extension, as the original 110" ladder is not available through etrailer, and cost over $300 from Dutchman through the camping store. The two items came to just over $100 so I got the free shipping. I placed my order yesterday at about 2pm. They were delivered to my house by UPS at 10:14 this morning, wow! They look very good, I don't plan to install them until this spring when it warms up a little (presently we have 15" of snow on the ground). I will add an update and a photo afterwards. 597694
