Get safe, confident roof access for your RV with this full-extension telescoping aluminum ladder. It reaches 14 feet 5 inches fully extended -- tall enough for most Class A, Class C, and fifth-wheel rooflines -- then collapses to just under 36 inches for storage in a basement compartment, truck bed, or storage bay. No assembly required; unfold, extend, lock each step, and climb.
Most RV owners have one of two problems: a fixed ladder that doesn't go where they need it, or a bulky extension ladder that barely fits in a tow vehicle. The Lippert On-The-Go solves both. Its telescoping aluminum construction compresses to 35.75 inches -- short enough to secure inside most storage bays -- while the segmented locking system lets you set any intermediate height and hold it securely.
The angled stance is engineered specifically for RV rooflines. When fully extended at the designed lean angle, the top of the ladder reaches approximately 22 inches above the roof edge, giving you a secure handhold as you step on and off the roof. That overhang detail is often what separates a safe roof access ladder from a dangerous one.
Each rung locks independently as you extend. You control exactly how far the ladder deploys, and every step is positively locked before you climb.
Lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum keeps total ladder weight at 27 lbs while supporting a 330 lb working load capacity.
Each rung is 1.5 inches deep with grooved tread surface for grip even in light rain or morning dew -- a real-world concern when accessing an RV roof.
Retracts to 35.75 inches. Velcro carry strap holds it bundled for transport. Molded rubber feet protect your storage bay floor.
Standard telescoping ladders are made for contractors standing on flat ground next to flat walls. The Lippert On-The-Go is sized and angled for RV use: the extended height is chosen to reach the roofline of the most common towable and motorhome profiles, and the angled extension geometry means the top of the ladder extends past the roof edge rather than butting up against it. That 22-inch overhang above the RV gives you something to hold as you transition from ladder to roof.
The 5/8-inch diameter steel locking pins anchor each extension segment and are sized to resist side-load flex when you're on the upper rungs. The molded rubber feet grip asphalt, gravel, grass, and concrete -- the kind of uneven, variable surfaces found at campgrounds.
At 35.75 inches retracted and 27 lbs, this ladder fits in most RV basement compartments, truck beds, and fifth-wheel storage bays. The included Velcro strap keeps the ladder from rattling or unfolding in transit. If you carry it on the outside of a tow vehicle, the smooth aluminum profile won't snag on cargo nets or straps.
