Perfect Ladder For RVers!

- Today we wanted to share a simple thing that has made it easy for us to work on and maintain our RV. We added this ladder to our RV tools and it has been better than I could have originally thought. This is better than our original ladder on the RV, so much better that we actually removed the ladder that was mounted on it.

I've got the same ladder and have used it many times, i love it! Yes, it does flex just a little bit, but you never feel unsafe because you can tell that it is made well. Mine came with a handy storage bag. Very versatile and easy to store away. Thanks for the video.
I have one of these type ladders an love it. In fact I ordered my TT without a rear ladder years ago. Gives a nice clean look in the rear especially without having bicycles hung on the permeant factory ladder which they are not designed for anyway. Great channel an keep up the good work.
I found a similar ladder at an estate sale. I used it to go on my 2nd story roof from the 1st story roof. I loved how compact it was to put out the window.
Just what we needed so we don't have to carry the fiberglass stepladder around anymore. Very handy. We just ordered the 15ft one using your link in the description. Hope you get credited for it by Amazon. Thanks for your very informative and useful videos.
I have that ladder in the 12' version and its been a great tool. I store it in my front equipment bay. Its a little heavy but that can't be helped for how stout and well made it is.
Thanks for the great review, have always been curious about this style ladder. Will need to pick one up now!
Bungee cord some pool noodles to the poles of the ladder to prevent scratching your rv and bending your gutters. Cut the pool noodles length wise so they just wrap around the poles and bungee the top and bottom.
Buddy of mine had a very similar one and I used it to get up on top of our RV to replace a roof vent with a fan. Worked well enough I bought one myself. Super compact and i'm a big guy, I didn't feel like it was about to give out at any point.
Always useful, informative, and very relatable. I really enjoy and value the information you share.
A very good product. It takes little space and is convenient too. Good vic Jared.
We have something similar, but with front-facing latches. We got used to where not to put our hands when collapsing it pretty quickly. It's nice and solid and stores easily. It's funny that it's part of our next video after our solar upgrade one. Great minds think alike. Safe travels.
We got one of these, works fantastic! I just tucked it behind the truck seat
I have been using one for years. Great ladder.
I use a similar ladder, without the rubber bumpers between the rungs and I really like it. I have a board wrapped with a microfiber towel velcroed to the top of the ladder that leans against the trailer tp prevent any scratching of the trailer.
I slit open a pool noodle and slipped it over the top rung. I like your idea.
They make a silicone guard for the top that works great for protecting surfaces.
I can’t wait to get one ! Thank you as always
@All About RV's . Jared - - Thanks to you and your wife for taking the time to educate us on the RV lifestyle. I'm new to RVing (just renovated a 1973 Thunderbird travel trailer), and feel a bit overwhelmed at times. Would you consider an episode on RV insurance, especially classic RV's and travel trailers? Thank you again.
Like you, it looked pretty flimsy to me. Glad to know it’s a solid piece of equipment, I will be getting one on your recommendation. Safe travels.
Very much appreciate your informative videos, old dog learning new tricks. Thanks so much. Keep those videos coming!!!
I use one like that. Like it. I found it scratched the rain gutter around the roof, so I cut two 12” pieces of pool noodles and sliced long ways. They just slip on to the rungs that are touching the gutter. Also, I’ve kept mine outside sometimes and it’s gotten wet. Not good. It’s now very hard to close. I’ve sprayed with silicone but doesn’t work like it did when it was new. Anyway....great videos. Thanks for doing them.
I very much enjoy your videos !!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK Thank You.
I just purchased this ladder based on this TH-cam post. I have a 2018 Dutch Star and they have no ladder on the rear to give it a more elegant look. My Ventana has a ladder and it was handy.
I have the compressible A Frame ladder that gives me a 16’ ladder that is also an 8’ step ladder that also stores in a 4’ package! Love it.
Can you share a link for your ladder? Thank you
Great video!! We recently bought a new TT that has NO LADDER, since it's surrounded by windows. I've been looking for an option and this one looks great. I noticed Amazon now sells the 12.5 ft model for $98 but I found one very similar on eBay (new) for $65.30. Thanks again!
Love you are wearing a KYD cap!
Stumbled across your page through your family vlogg!!
I love theses collapsing ladders,
I use a " telesteps" brand for the past 9 years,
Both links now goto an Amazon page displaying a 10.5 ft ladder not 12.5 ft
No bumpers, different release buttons, it is the smaller Twin of the telesteps I bought in 2011
Really like your videos Jared. I damaged our ladder and tried to replace it but the reinforced mounting areas did not match up. I was resigned to going through the dealer for a new one when I saw this video. Then I realized I didn’t really like the OEM ladder- the first step up was a doozy that surely would have injured me eventually. Just ordered this one and I’ll be patching the holes. Thanks again.
Your links seem to go to the same product, but I have the one without the bumpers and really like it. The difference is that you don't have to collapse each rung individually. The downside is you HAVE to collapse them all at once. Bottom one goes, red levers on next rung up hit it and repeat. Each step is a "soft close" so you'd really have to try to get your fingers smashed. If you don't want to fully extend the collapsed section has to be on top.
Thank you. I ordered the ladder
Good idea on the Velcro hook on the ladder so it can't slip out . Another great ladder is the little Giant ladder
Not for me, I had a little Giant collapse on me as I stepped onto a roof and went all the way to the driveway. Not a good experience, I would never get on a Little Giant ladder again.
Very cool ladder; will have to ck it out.
Y'all Be Safe!
Nice ladder I have used one for several years. Nice hat bye the way
Check out the Lion ladder I really like it, it drops down easily, has stabilizer & you don't need to tie a towel cause it has little knobs so you won't scratch your RV. It weights about 35 lbs so I can easily carry it..... still like your review 👍🏻
I love this ladder. As a senior female Fifth wheeler, it was one of my best investments.
I know it is quite off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online ?
@Joel Zeke i use Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Charlie Jimmy yup, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)
@Charlie Jimmy Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it !
@Joel Zeke No problem =)
I had purchased one of these ladders a few years ago. I think it expanded to 16 ft. However, due to the length the spacers were on the wrong side on the top half of the ladder. You had to step on those spacers on the top half of ladder. Just something to check out on the taller ladders like this.
I go by Watson Lake twice a year on the way to Whitehorse. When were you there?
I have the ladder without bump stops. Picked it up at Home Despot years ago. Its about half the size of yours when folded down. You really have to watch the digits or you WILL get pinched. Love it for size and strength
Both Amazon links show the same ladder without bumpers.
thanks for sharing and I love the hat
Pool noodles are like duct tape. I have a thick noodle cut down to fit the top rung of the ladder (fits the other rungs too) and then it is totally cushioned from the RV body.
What is the stock number for this ladder??
I own this one. Great ladder, just watch your fingers lol.
I really enjoy your videos. We are new to RVing and you have taught me a lot. Thanks for all of your help. I have an idea for a video that I have not found any information on. “ Running solar on your RV while towing” Can it be done?
I love mine that has no spacers. I weigh 275 and feel comfortable and safe on mine.
Love your hat!
Try using A pool noodle on top rung instead of A rag to lean against rv.
Hi I have watched several of your videos and learn some thing new each time. I have a question that is not about electricity however I am putting it here. Our shower does not fit right next to the wall and therefore in the winter very cold air comes in and the shower itself is is very cold when you open the door and takes part of the hot water just to warm it up enough. In the summertime it becomes a HotBox since there is also a skylight on top of the shower. How would you recommend that we insulate or fill in the gap without causing of molding and such?
One problem I have never seen addressed is the height from the ground to the bottom of the factory installed rooftop ladder. On my trailer, it is about four feet from the ground to the first rung of my ladder.I tried to find a ladder extension with no luck. I went online a found a two step ski boat collapsible ladder. I mounted this new ladder on the sewer hose storage bumper under the original ladder with stainless steel hardware to prevent rusting. When I need it, I just fold it down and extend the steps. Now I have two extra steps to get on top of the bumper where I can access the other ladder. After using, I fold up ladder, which collapses it inside itself, use supplied Velcro strap to hold in collapsed position, then use another Velcro strap to secure to bottom rung of trailer ladder to keep it from hanging below bumper where it could get damaged. I now no longer have to carry an extra ladder to get high enough to access the ladder to the top of my trailer, which is great!
Well darn. Just bought a different ladder. Wish I'd watched this first
I have one of these for work. Love it, but be careful everyone. These are really heavy!
I'm buying one
I have a friend who had all his solar panels broken by (we guessed) kids as it was easily accessible by his permanent ladder. Never have a permanent fixed ladder.
Good Afternoon. You have some awesome videos. My questions is do you still have the same ladder and are you still using it
Thank you for sharing. How much does it weigh?
You should think about sharing what a good ladder height would be relative to the height of your camper
Don't forget that that ladder can be rather heavy for the over 60 crowd.
We have something similar. I used it more when we had a hybrid.
Ok is simple today
but revisit the solar on yacht hmm perhaps not
but what about a sail ⛵. Army AL
Hey Jared, is the RV park in North Arizona? If yes, do you mind sharing the name? I love it.
FYI: The 12.5ft ladder is out of stock with no idea if and or when it might be again available on Amazon. The website of the seller Louis Ladders, now has a different name with it and these ladders aren’t shown as being for sale. Amazon does have the 10.5ft & 15.5ft still available. I suspect that when they’re gone, they’re gone. Amazon does sell other similar ladders.
Actually demonstrate it by getting on top of your rig and getting down.
I’m interested in the US map behind you! Please post a source when convenient.😃
I bought that ladder this year. I'm afraid of heights and afraid it will slide down towards the ground. Not used it yet but have it just in case.
Quick question Jared, do you think the tops of sides can be walked on?
The picture in the link that said it was the one in the video, didn't look like it had the bumpers?
Hi Jared,
I love the channel and i used the link to buy the ladder but i am not seeing the one with the bumper plus this one is red and does not look the same.
Did the link decay?
Jared, what company manufactures the featured ladder and what is the maximum height? Like others have stated, the links show the same ladder without the stops, and the prices are not what you stated. Also, do you know the weight of the ladder? Enjoyed the video.
Hi: I checked out the link to the ladder you showed on Amazon that you provided but both links provided only show the ladder without the spacers between rungs. Do they not make the ladder with the spacers? We liked the idea of not pinching our fingers when collapsing the ladder.
I think the link is just bad. If you search amazon for "Luisladders aluminum telescoping telescopic extension ladder" and then scroll down the page you will find it. I just don't think Jared will get Amazon credit as his link is probably tied to the link he listed.
The one with. bumper is on Amazon as well
sic parvis magna, thanks. Can you provide a link? Every one I saw on Amazon was without the spacers between rungs preventing pinched fingers.
@@deedeedugan7950 I would love to have this ladder, I had one without the rubber spacers and got rid of it after pinching my fingers multiple times. hope someone can post a link of this ladder
What was the name (brand) you bought please? Thanks! Really like your videos! 🇺🇸👌
I have 2 of them, a A Frame and one similar to yours but it falls smaller and it has the folding tabs on the outside not inside
I need a collapsible A Frame ladder. Do you like the one you have? Which one is it? Thanks!
Most 5th wheels have a 13’ plus roof. So you’ll need at least a 16’ ladder.
The links do not go to the one in the video.
I bought one and the plastic broke, fortunately it was on the first rung, didn’t fall far. Also I only weight 200 lbs. threw it away, no confidence to climb on another one. The plastic ring around the metal on the first step cracked and the first rung dropped.
My camper travel trailer is not tall as a 5th wheel, Class A or class C. What size would I need?
How much weight will it hold??
It's available in 12.5 or 15.5 feet.
Which one did you get 12 or 15
It would of been great if you would of added the name of the ladder.
Hey Jarred, I want to order this ladder. However, when I click on the link it goes to a different ladder without the 1" rubber spacers. Had the site updated to the new/different ladder.
What brand is it
What is this one called and where can I buy it..... I live in Canada
How much do you weigh? I am 250 at 6'-3" Can you still recommend?
I really hate extension ladders. Always afraid of it sliding out from under you and don’t like leaning anything against the RV. Maybe a little giant?
How tall is this ladder when it is in its compact form?
Please, So which one is actually in the video and is it a 12.5 or 15.5 lenght? I have the 12.5 LuisLadder in your link against a Tiffin Class A and it barely reaches the top let alone to try and climb over to the roofline and off.
It seams that both links for the telescoping ladders go the the same non-bumper ladder and I don’t see it on your Amazon page either. Would you re-post it?
When we went full time, I bought a Li'l Giant ladder in the 22' size. HOLY CRAP that's heavy and seriously overkill. I looked at a ladder like this but was concerned it was too light for my 'svelt' 235# bod. May have to reconsider that. BTW, I have a KYD hat just like yours!
I never found the name of this ladder. Can you provide that for me? Thanks
We had the same setup you have , the ladder is no good if your over 200# and it’s an common source of leaks.
The ladder link to Amazon, is not the same make/model as the one in the video
The exact one is out of stock sometimes.
I bought one like the one in your video. But after a year of use I replaced it with a collapsible A-Frame Multi-Position Ladder that I like better. With the type of ladder you're talking about, you can't use it for smaller jobs very well. Since we have a Class A, one of the more common jobs is washing the huge windshield. The style of ladder in this video is pretty useless for jobs like that. The collapsible "A-Frame" Multi-Position Ladder folds up small, can be set up as a short 3' A-Frame, a taller 6' A-Frame or totally unfolded to create a 13' Step Ladder. It's also 10 lbs lighter and sturdier overall. So, depending on how you want to use your ladder you might like the Multi-Position Ladder better.
What brand did you get? I'm looking for an A Frame. Thanks!
Tried to go to amazon to check out ladder. Tried several times to be sure was hitting correct line. Link is taking you to totally different ladder.
All I see on YT are ads for these like this one
A ladder, but I don’t think you ever mentioned the length
I'm not sure if they sponsored you in any way but I would feel pretty angry about how they've been jacking up their price since your review.
you might update the pricing. As of today it is $169
Love the ladder, now it's $105.98 on Amazon. LOL
Link provided is not to the ladder you show in your video.
Are you using the 10 foot 6 inch ladder? Does it reach the top of your RV? My 5th wheel is 13.5 feet tall so I'm thinking i need a taller one.
We did the 12.5’ ladder.
Pardon my ignorance, but where is the link?
OH, I see - you have to click show more. {Face Palm}
Nice video, but even nicer if you'd provide a link to the actual ladder you like. Or identify it, at least, lol.
We have had a similar one for about a year and it has been SO useful. With a 330 lbs capacity, it is very stable. We don't have an RV right now but I keep it in my master bedroom closet and can use it throughout the house without having to bang the walls bringing one in from the garage. When shopping for an RV, I have been debating using our telescoping ladder or holding out for a permanently installed one. Maybe I'll do both!
P.S. Both links are taking me to the same Amazon item. (ASIN: B01FUCCPPA)
