You can measure your existing ladder's overall length from its lower mounting bracket to its horizontal top bar as shown in the linked photo. We offer three different lengths of exterior RV ladder; all can be seen on the link provided. Each one is a universal-fit type which means that the location of its mounting hardware on your RV may differ from that of your original ladder.

I need a ladder that is 72 inches maximum from the top to bottom. Does Surco offer a ladder this lenght?

The 84-1/2" Surco # SP502L is the shortest exterior ladder we have available. For something shorter a better option might actually be with the longer 99-1/2" Stromberg Carlson # LA-401, since it offers a more universal design that can be cut down to the size you need.
