  • Replacement Ladder Needed with Tight Return at the Top
  • I do have a solution for you but none of our other ladders have as tight of a return as the Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladder # SP502L that you referenced. Since you basically just need the Surco ladder but just a little longer I recommend using either the Surco RV Ladder Extension # SP504L which is 30-1/2" long or the Stromberg Carlson RV Ladder Extension # LA-148 which is 48" long. The Surco rests on your RV but the Stromberg Carlson rests on the ground.
