The ladder provided on your motor home is
for limited access to the roof of your coach. If you
are working on your roof, create an environment
that provides safety as a first priority.
Before Using the Ladder
• Inspect the ladder to make sure it is not
damaged. Never use a damaged ladder.
• Keep the rungs of the ladder clean and dry
while in use. Never use the ladder when it is
raining, snowing or icy. The rungs can
become slippery. Do not step onto the rungs if
the rungs are wet, or if your shoes are wet or
carry mud or debris that could result in a loss
of footing.
