The best way to carry a mobile ladder on the back of a trailer is with a fixed ladder like the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder part # LA-401 and a carrier like the Stromberg Carlson Lawn Chair Rack part # LA-104. If you don't want to install a ladder which is very versatile might I add then you can mount the Pack'em Ladder Rack for Exterior Side Wall part # PK-28WL-BM to the exterior rear wall on the trailer.

That said, they don't really offer any bolt-on ladder carrier options for travel trailers so you will need to choice which above option works best but drilling will be required regardless.
