I do have a solution, but the ladder you're describing appears to be unique to Winnebago with no direct replacement options. The closest possible thing would be to use the Stromberg Carlson Exterior RV Ladder # LA-401 along with the Stromberg Carlson RV Ladder Extension # LA-148.

You could cut down the regular ladder so that it sits as high as possible for the 48" extension to still attach. Then, you can remove the extension when not in use. Keep in mind, the extension is designed to go to the ground so part of the length will be lost to that extra distance. You may be better off sticking with the regular ladder running down the back instead.
