Ladder length

What is the length of the ladder for the bunk bed in the cargo area for a XLR 27 HFS?

I called my RV dealer there should be a ladder for the bed in the cargo area but I think I was given the wrong size. It should be a 4 foot ladder not a 6 foot. There is no external ladder for the XLR 27.

I have a ladder with mine, it is like 8 foot long all I could think of is that to get on the roof you drop the ramp down and with the bed in the up position you hook the ladder onto the rear part of the bed and the angle seems to work with it. I left it at home as I brought a different shorter one and would use the truck bed if needed. Now if I could only get the missing screen out of my dealer.....

We got a ladder but was told it is a one size fits all. To see how tall you need it and then cut it. Which we did and it works great. Good luck!!

Why do you need a ladder for the cargo area bunk? Remove the stops on all 4 rails and put them at a lower setting I put mine all the way down. No ladder needed.

Bed ladder

I, too, received a ladder but no one at the dealer knew what it was for. Too tall for the beds, no where to use for roof. I cut it off and cushioned the hooks for use on the upper bed when at it's lowest point.
