Here is one that I use. It's not telescoping but it folds up nice and small and it stores in the compartments that I built.

I have had one for a couple of seasons. Easy to store and use in the TT. Like it a lot.

Hey thx all. For the telescoping ladders can you rest them on the coach without damaging the pain? If so how do you accomplish that?

Hmmmm. Maybe. I would wrap with some foam or something to insure or tie something on there so you can collapse.

Just received my new ladder and initial thought is it seems built well. Each section pulls out and locks in very easy. It has green and red indicators at each clip for each rung to show that the clip is locked in or not. When unlocking each rung you do so with one hand on the side of the ladder and other to release each clip one at a time and control the ladder's speed of falling back down as it collapses into itself. If allowed to just fall on it's own it drops very fast. Extremely glad I bought this one as it has spacers on the underside of each rung to prevent slammed fingers. They already paid for itself as the first time I released the clips the rung slammed and would have mashed my fingers (wasn't expecting it to slide so easy and it was just one rung).

The included bag has plenty of room so it is easy to put the ladder in for storage.

Whatever you do you're going to need the 12.5 foot one to get on top of your TT, 5r or coach. I got the 12 ft 5 years ago. I can get on top but the extra length will make it easier.
