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.

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.All worked out good. I wish you had bracket braces specs in there. Would work out good on stud lay out. Up or down, or horizontal lay out for brace screws. I had to add another 2x2 for horizontal. All in all made it fit fine. Looks and works great. I will add I had my camper re-framed about 2 feet in and rebuilt it, so don’t guess if you find a stud or a good solid place to bolt to.... I framed my studs in the back to hold this ladder.

This is a good, inexpensive ladder. I am 170 lb and is always feels secure. I put this on the rear of ny 1993 Safari Trek 2400, mainly to access my solar panels. I used some high quality GE silicone adhesive sealant under the bases for the best seal possible (also what I used for adhesion and sealing under my solar panel mounts. It is very light, and I don't know how it would be if you're around 200 lb or so. Honestly, I would be the most concerned about the motorhome shell. If you have food wood blocking behind it, or access to add them, it would most likely be fine.
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.
Russell M - 08/17/2020the stromberg carlson rv exterior ladder w/hinges fit on my trailer perfectly and i had no problems attatching it. i was impressed with the speed that i received it. i would definately purchase from Etrailer again
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.
this ladder was a replacement for the damaged ladder that was on the camper. it took some figuring because the ladder was not mounted on a straight flat surface. worker quite well. i am pleased with the product.
We had a problem with the new buildout of our teenage boy's bedroom. I started looking at ladders and then the RV ladder idea happened. I had no doubts about this and knew it was going to be a big hit. I made a believer out of everyone and now it's the talk of the town. Thanks guys!
Don't buy. Spend the money on a more robust, quality ladder. I'm sorry I didn't do that. I decided not to drill holes in my rv to mount this as I was not at all happy with this product.
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.
Your customer service and attention to details were outstanding a pleasure to do business with you picture of ladder enclosed thank you Brent/Kathleen
Great ladder, perfect fit, rock solid. I have a toy hauler, so a rear mount was out.
Mark W - 12/13/2017I 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.
Pete N - 09/16/2018Heartland Bighorn 3580 RL bought in June of 2008. Ladder failed in two places. I was able to adapt LA 401 ladder by using the old extensions which were a bit longer than the ones that came with the LA 401. I also used the full extension of the LA 401. To make it fit better I took two steps off of the old ladder and placed them about 10 inches apart on either side of the swivels. I also secured the bottom of the ladder to the frame of a hitch I previously had installed. There are always ways of working things out if you have a good product to work with. Included is a jpeg picture of completed project.
I have purchased many items from etrailer. your service is tremendous and so are the products you sell. The rv rear ladder was as described. I use it to access the roof to sweep of the top of the slide out. I weigh 225 and the ladder is solid and was fairly easy to install.
the ladder fit perfectly with removing about 6 inches of the rails to custom fit my 5th wheel. I sold the trailer shortly after the install but I know the folks who purchased it and they have made no complaints about it. Good product for the money.
Delivery was excellent. Instructions leave a lot to be desired but I was able to figure it all out. Went slow and read the instructions many times, including reading between the lines to put the support pegs on. I added a few extra supports to reinforce ladder to handle carrying two bikes.
Tom G - 10/27/2017I 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.
Very happy with my new ladder. Haven't yet installed it but looks and feels sturdy. I'm particularly proud to have dealt again with etrailer and to have enjoyed their awesome service and personal touch that I have come to expect from them. From hitches to RV supplies I have never been let down, and always with a personal touch that tells me they do care about my business. That's rare these days and yet means so much. Thanks guys
Product arrived with simple directions and all the required parts. My application required placement on a round roof and I was able to cut the parts easily with a common hack saw. There was no issue. I even installed it on the side corner of a rear lounge trailer that had a huge picture window. Great lightweight product that does exactly what it is advertised to do.
Product was great, customer service was even better. Received a personal email George who let me know the product was going to ship that day and that they upgraded my order to express shipping for free! They were very helpful and responded quickly to all the questions I emailed them with. Definitely shopping here again and recommend long etrailer.com to all my friends.
Better then expected strong and looks great
