Sure, the ladder to mounting posts often have a long(er) screw/bolt in them that will work loose. Tightening them has been part of my annual maintenance for a long time.

If the mounting bracket screws are loose in the side of the R/V, you may have to take a closer look to be sure they are not stripped or the wood rotted behind them from leaking/poor sealant.

Just to be sure…..

Your ladder is loose to how it attaches TO the motorhome, or are the step rungs loose TO the side rails?

roof ladder

just seems to sag as you climb up the ladder middle support poles seem to move under the weight. check roof every spring and fall, and this fall it seems to move . no separation from coach, I was checking to make sure I can tighten the screws on it
