+4 from a guy that fell from one!  Wasn't pretty and took a year to fully recover.

+3 - That is why I like my folding stepladder. I would be afraid the telescoping ladder would not stay extended.

+2 - one of the most common accidents for geezers is falling off ladders.

I received th SLD-D5 , and it works great! I can easily brush off the slide-out. At that height, it would be a challenge to reach the roof, but that’s okay with me. I wouldn’t need to get to the roof at a campground anyway, and I have large ladders at home.

You can buy a slide out awning for a bit more than some of these ladders.

I really wanted to keep the ladder in the passthrough compartment of the RPod. I ended up Ordering the SLDD5. I’ll post again when it arrives and let you know if it works. Thanks all for your comments.
