Well, heck, then, how about one of these?
You could tow it behind your trailer.
 I've used them. They're really fun to drive and get you up plenty high so you can use your leaf blower. |

I'm sorry if this thread brought back some bad experiences, the information that everyone put in is important to consider for the situation I was dealing with.
Thanks |

When you want to clear your slide of debris pull out your blackwater hose, clamp one end to your leaft
blower and the other end to a telescoping window cleaning extension rod. Turn on the leaf blower. First blow out any sewer water remaining in the hose, then lift it up and blow the leaves off the slide. Use LA's camera idea to inspect for any remaining debris. Clear again as needed. Put away leaf blower, hose, and extension rod. Done! Or, buy this invention and go into business. Slideout brush |

I have had two of those ladders, paying around $130 each. One of the things I like about them is that they fit in the front exterior storage compartment of our 180. Neither of my ladders have lasted longer than two years before they became too dangerous to use. After a while, the latching mechanisms fail and the ladder collapses. My son-in-law bought one and it failed after two uses. If you want a telescoping ladder, I recommend getting a contractor-grade model, which will probably cost at least $330. I replaced our last telescoping ladder with Class A1 rated, multi-position ladder. It won't fit in our storage compartment, so I will carry in the back of our pickup.

I don't know about the rest of you, but collapsible ladder sounds like an oxymoron to me.

This is a different brand, but essentially the same one as I have:
I got it used at a campground from a person selling it because it was too short for his motor home use. It has been good for the RPod. Even though I put a slide-out cover on, I still have been carrying it just in case. If I were to purchase a new one though, I would get one of the double-sided ones like this: This one is the same brand as my single-sided one.

Gotta love when we beat a freakin topic to death. I especially like the ridiculous scenarios people will make up, so they can warn of some great unforeseen danger, that only THEY can see. This all could have been covered by a simple, "hey, be careful climbing on those ladders, some of the cheaper ones could be dangerous" . ok, you can rip into me now.

We can't bubble-wrap our lives. Everything we do entails some degree of risk. The key is to make sure those risks are not excessive. Making sure one's equipment is in good shape reduces the degree of risk, but we can't eliminate risk.

mj, maybe we should limit posts to 280 characters? That'd shorten it good.
