Review: Good ladder would reccommend - Good ladder very sturdy and easy to set up. Review: Pleased As Punch - Good price. Had to send first back as it was missing parts (be sure to check when you first receive) but desertcart immediately sent out a new one before I'd even returned the old one (as my rig was sitting at the fixit place running up the meter to install it). I had them install as it needed some modifications and I wanted to ensure it was done securely and sealed well. It was actually only installed top and middle as I have a bumper toolbox mounted in the way of where it would mount at the bottom. They were able to modify and adapt things as needed so I now have a bottom piece that hooks over one of the steps and then comes to rest on the toolbox. Since then I've been up and down it and feel comfortable with it's quality. Be aware it is narrow, but doable to climb with a little care. Was a great addition to my rig after having scratched paint leaning ladders up against it :-( ## Features - UNIVERSAL FIT FOR RVs AND TRAILERS: Designed to fit most RVs, travel trailers, and campers, the Stromberg Carlson LA-401 universal exterior ladder provides reliable access to the roof of your vehicle.

It's 92.5" max. https://www.strombergcarlson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/LA-401-Dimensions.jpg **Q: What is the length of this ladder?** A: It is adjustable in length to fit most any trailer **Q: This is a 1995 coachman catalina. Would this work on this camper?** A: It’s a pretty versatile ladder. I’m guessing that it will. I used it for a 1995 Tioga Montara. BTW, I used some butch plates on the roof to give it a stronger interface. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good ladder would reccommend *by M***O on July 16, 2025* Good ladder very sturdy and easy to set up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleased As Punch *by B***G on September 14, 2017* Good price.

Was a great addition to my rig after having scratched paint leaning ladders up against it :-( ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality Ladder with a Challenging Installation *by V***D on October 12, 2018* The ladder on my Jayco was damaged and needed replaced. This ladder came in an undamaged box and when unpacked seemed of very good quality. It used twice as many fasteners, of the same size as the factory ones, for the critical supports resulting in a very strong ladder if installed in good wood. However, the actual installation is challenging since the instruction sheet is pretty sketchy and brief. You'll need something to make sure it's square with the trailer (I leveled the trailer and then used a level on the ladder). Something to accurately drill the upright pieces for the standoffs (I used a small drill press) and something to accurately cut the ladder uprights as needed since, in my case, it was a bit too long for the trailer. What complicates the installation is that both the upper piece and the the lower piece have special ends. The upper piece has a necked down uprights that the roof handles bolt to and the lower piece has the curved ends that attach to the trailer above the bumper. So, you have to make your cuts somewhere in the middle which may result in some odd spaced rungs. I am happy with the finished installation; it's strong and looks good...though it does have an oddly spaced rung in the middle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stromberg Carlson 139.21 LA-401 Universal Exterior RV Ladder - Dicor 501LSW-1 HAPS-Free Self-Leveling Lap Sealant for horizontal surfaces - 10.3 Oz, White, Secure, Ideal for RV Roofing, Maintenance, Repair, Appliance Application - Dicor BT-1834-1 Butyl Seal Tape - 1/8" x 3/4" x 30' Repair Tape for RV, Trailer, Motorhome, Window, and Vent Sealing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4156948-stromberg-carlson-la-401-universal-exterior-rv-ladder-heavy-duty](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4156948-stromberg-carlson-la-401-universal-exterior-rv-ladder-heavy-duty) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
