Some (alot) assembly required
It took me 3 hrs. To install and I had to get my neighbor to help. 1. Adjust ladder to fit curved roof after you determine placement. Hold ladder level and measure the distance that one foot is off the roof. Cut that distance off the adjoining foot, drill new hole, mount retaining brackets. Do not screw feet to roof yet. 2. Determine from the frame of your camper where you will mount the 4 wall brackets. My stud finder did not locate the frame. I knew there would be framing material around the window so I located two brackets above and two brackets below my window. My window was 31 inches long. I used metal roofing screws with rubber washers. I put sealant on all the feet before mounting. I angled the screws for better holding. Remove screws that secure the black plastic part to the wall brackets. Tape the black plastic to the wall brackets. Now have someone hold the top half of the ladder in place, hold the wall bracket in place between camper and ladder and Mark it. Do this for all four wall brackets if the all mount to the top half of the ladder. Remove ladder and screw wall brackets to camper. 3. Reposition top half of ladder and Mark hold positions to mount ladder to wall bracket. Remove ladder, drill holes, reposition ladder and attach it to wall brackets. 4. Add sealant and attach roof brackets. 5. Now you are ready to attach bottom half of ladder. Hold the bottom ladder in position with it overlapping the upper ladder. Determine where you want the bottom feet to mount on the camper. My bottom feet extended to the bottom of my back wall where there was framing material. It may be easier to tape the bottom half in position. Get the hinge bracket. Hold it against the two overlapping ladders and Mark the upper and lower ladder where the hinge will connect them together. Remember the hinge will insert 5/8 inch in each ladder. Make your mark accordingly. Now use a tube cutter to cut off both ladders. Insert the hinge in the bottom ladder, drill and mount. Assemble bottom half of ladder to top half of the ladder with hinges inserted in top half. Drill and mount top half of hinge to top ladder. Mount bottom feet to camper using screws and sealant. Hint:. Before cutting off ladder check where rungs will be located. Good luck.

Works great
I cut the bottom off and made a bracket that attaches to my back bumper for the ladder to attach to so my weight is carried by the bumper instead of solely by the wall of the camper. Other than* my modifications, the ladder itself is as expected. You don't want a 100 pound steel ladder weighing down the back of your camper so this is what's available on the market. It's very lightweight and not what you call sturdy...exactly what you want in an RV ladder. I suppose you could find a carbon fiber ladder that would be solid and sturdy and last forever. Of course it would still attach to a flimsy RV wall and would probably cost a million dollars so I went with this one. Works great. I'm 180#'s. Not 180 hashtags. That's the symbol for pound if you're not a millennial. Also, check my use of the word "than". It is used in the proper context. If you would have used the word "then" then please check into the proper use of the words then and than. It is becoming an epidemic people. Let's fix this social illiteracy!

Nothing is universal.
Like my title says, nothing is universal and ignore bad reviews that knock this product for not fitting. When I bought my RV, the rear ladder was smashed in a little. I used this to repair my ladder, I used parts from my old ladder as well as this new one. I cut the original ladder and used the mounts already on my roof and did not use the new pieces. I also heavily modified this new ladder by cutting off the lower ends (each a different length because my coach is not square) and using the mounting hardware from my old ladder. I also lowered the bottom rung of the ladder by removing and reinstalling the roll pins. All in all it came out perfect. But in order for any universal product to come out the way you want, it takes some work and ingenuity.

Great as a replacement or a complete spare parts kit
My RV ladder was damaged by backing into some tree branches and I thought this replacement would allow for a retrofit. Turns out I needed both parts from my damaged ladder and the new one to make it work. For the price you get all the spare parts you need and the actual ladder structure with which to mix and match together for a complete swap out. Many RV ladders are “ one off” types developed just for your model. This ladder is meant to act as a stand-alone or a spare parts kit if , when assembled, it doesn’t quite work. So for me, it turned out to be more effort to adapt the parts for reworking the ladder to fit, but I was able to end up with a more structurally improved and esthetically accurate ladder. Also cost was a quarter of the OEM which gave me more satisfaction and appreciation of the finished product despite some additional sweat equity.

Works perfectly but install was difficult
Does exactly what it is intended to do. I am 240 or so and it holds up great and is very sturdy. Beware however, most likely your wall studs on your camper and the cross beams on the roof will not line up, however there are several points to distribute weight. Also you are not supposed to be on your camper roof more than 2 to 3 times per year. Most important point (maybe just me?) is that install was tough and you will need at least 2 people to pull it off.

Good ladder. Easy to install.
Good ladder. Easy enough install. Easy to follow instructions. I have a curved roof and it was still easy to install. You should put a little dicor under all the mounting hardware though, I did. Now I can climb right up to clean the solar panels quickly and safer.

Worked great very strong
This latter was a great buy and perfect it is designed to fit all RVs please note before you start cutting rivets off of your old ladder I was able to use the old mounting brackets with the new latter saving me from damages and scratching the surface of my motorhome it worked out great combine the old with the new and make it easy for yourself take your time and figure out how to use your old hardware with the new ladder

This can be made to fit any camper
The ladder on our motor home was damaged. I had to cut a section out to make this ladder the correct length and going up it feels sturdy. The only thing I don't like is where it turns to come down on the roof. That last section isn't stiff and I'm going to need a modification there. That will probably be a metal plate on the roof with the ladder bolted to the plate, The small bracket that is supplied doesn't mount solidly.

Best universal ladder!
Guys this ladder is just what I wanted!! Honestly for the money it's worth every penny, I bought this for my schoolbus conversion and at first I was very hesitant to buy because it is allot cheaper than it's competition the lovely thing about this ladder is that you can literally customize it for any vehicle it took me about 30mins to install, I have tested this ladder with many of my family and friends and it can definitely hold weight that's not a concern!

Fantastic RV ladder
Fairly easy to assemble and install. Just take your time, measure twice, cut once. Assembly directions are not all that great, but by carefully looking at the pieces and comparing them to the picture, you will be ok. Has made getting on our RV roof a piece of cake. Would defintely purchase another one.
