Wanna get high? (on a ladder)

Saw this ladder on Menard's weekly sale flyer. Might be just the ticket to polyglow your FGRV's roof. Menards is a home center chain in the Midwest. Looks like a better price than usual for this type of ladder. I don't want one, but some folks do. It certainly looks easier to handle than my heavy scissor type folding ladder.

Happy High, john

Those are pretty nice looking ladders. I would imagine that you would want to wrap a pool noodle around the ladder where it makes contact with the trailer though.

I have a ladder like that. We've used it often. We like it.

I prefer a step ladder. This 6' ladder folds to fit in a 5" Fence Post.

I have seen one of those, they store very well, but they are much heavier than a scissor type six foot step ladder. They are very well designed, they put a lot of thought into it.

The 225 weight limit would bring OSHA out on the job if I was anywhere around that ladder. I’m using the Little Giant when I get up on a ladder to inspect the fine job Rita does washing and waxing her rig.

The telescoping ladders are quite popular with insurance adjusters, roofing estimators, etc. as it gives them a sturdy ladder that fits in the trunk of a car and they don't have to wag a huge ladder around. They are also popular with 5th wheel trailer owners as they store compactly and still allow access to the rather tall roofs of 5th wheels and many travel trailers. As with any ladder, they come in a multitude of heights, and weight classes.

I use ours to check the solar panels, clean the roof, and apply Zep (not Poli Glow) wax.

Enjoy,

Perry
