Fixed Exterior Rear Ladders
Stromberg Carlson LA-401BA Universal Exterior RV Ladder, Heavy-Duty Rear Ladder for Travel Trailers & Campers, Roof Access, Durable Black Finish, Easy Installation, Universal Fit, Black
Stromberg Carlson LA-401BA — The Go-To Fixed Rear Ladder for Most RVs
Finding a replacement or aftermarket exterior ladder that actually fits your rig shouldn't require an engineering degree. The Stromberg Carlson LA-401BA solves that by being genuinely universal — it's designed to mount on the rear of virtually any travel trailer, camper, or motorhome regardless of wall curvature. The aluminum rails cut to length, so whether you have a compact 20-footer or a full-size Class A, you're not fighting a ladder that's six inches too tall.
The black powder-coat finish (the BA model) is the version to buy if your rig has a dark exterior. It holds up against road grime, UV exposure, and repeated use without flaking or oxidizing the way cheaper coatings tend to. The included four standoff mounting brackets and hardware are enough to get a secure install on most rigs — though owners with laminate wall construction will want a strong magnet or quality stud finder before they start drilling.
Install time runs two to four hours for most people and genuinely requires a second pair of hands. The ladder is modular with a two-section hinged design, which means you'll be holding one section steady while fitting the brackets — not a one-person job. That said, once it's up and mounted into solid framing, it's rock-solid.
Pros
- Fits virtually any RV, trailer, or motorhome without special adapters
- Cuts to exact length — no overhang, no awkward fit
- Black powder-coat finish (BA model) is durable and weather-resistant
- Verified to hold 250+ lbs in real-world use by multiple buyers
- Modular two-section design makes shipping and handling manageable
Cons
- Install requires two people and 2–4 hours — not a quick swap
- Only four standoff mounts included; laminate walls may need additional anchor points
- Shiny joints on the base LA-401 model stand out on darker exteriors — opt for BA
