Although there is no manufacturer recommendation for a ladder on your 2001 Hurricane motorhome I recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder # LA-401 over the 97" Long Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladder # SP501L or the 84-1/2" LongSurco Universal Exterior RV Ladder # SP502L.

The reason being that the Stromberg Carlson option is 99-1/2" long and can be cut to custom-fit your application. As long as you install it to a part of your trailer that is structurally solid you are good to go.

I have attached a picture with the dimensions of the ladder and a review video for you to check out as well.

90-120 ft lbs of torque is probably about right for your trailer rims. If you check out the lug nut torque chart that I attached you will see that nearly all of the torque specs are that and higher.
