Yes, the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder part # LA-401 can absolutely be cut down to fit the exact dimensions of your coach. The ladder comes in two pieces, a top portion and a bottom portion. The part of the ladder that gets trimmed is the downtube between the top and bottom portion. Basically, you will want to cut both or one side of the downtubes until you have the correct size, then insert the hinges and attach to the coach.

I unfortunately don't have any videos or write-ups of this but I have attached a photo for you which should offer further assistance. In order to cut the downtubes on the ladder you will need a hacksaw or tubing cutter. The 88" height of your coach should be no issues at all for this ladder.

The other nice feature of this ladder is that they make accessories that allow you to carry items such as lawn chairs with part # LA-104 or bikes with part # LA-102.
