Question:
2011 Cruiser RV Fun Finder XTRA XT-200 Toy Hauler. Has the horizontal nose. Would this ladder work as a front mounted ladder, using the hinges to slant it back under the nose.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The hinges of the Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladder w Center Hinges for Contoured Rear Wall # SP501L would allow for you to go around the front bump out but with it being so low I don't know if would be a comfortable fit. The top portion of the ladder is approximately 52-1/2" (not including the very top rails that mount to the roof) and the bottom is approximately 48" (including the bend).
I recommend measuring the front before and after the bump out first to be certain of fitment. If it's good to go then I recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ behind the mounting brackets and some non-sag sealant # AL28KV around the bracket to prevent any water from leaking in through the screws.
