Does it open up or do you have to lean it on something? Looking for one to use when traveling in a motorhome

I purchased the ladder for use on my motor home. It is easy to extend, lower and stow. The ladder rests / leans on the side of the motor home.

Perfect for an RV any type. I am looking for one, as I sold my last Motorhome and included the ladder. The 12.5 ft is perfect for about any full size RV. If you buy a 4 inch diameter pool noodle (a kids toy, somewhat like foam rubber pipe insulation, hollow in middle). You can cut it to fit in between the rungs and use it to protect the side of your RV.

It opens up one step at a time. We start opening it from the top step first, my husband opens it and I just help balance it. We don't brace it against the trailer but I suppose that would work just fine. It's not difficult to use. We use it with our TT to clean off the top of the slide. I would definitely recommend this for traveling, it's compact, not too heavy. Just be careful collapsing it. You're bound to snag a finger or two until you get the hang of it.

Yes, one does have to lean the ladder as it is not a folding ladder. I use mine in a m/h

When we probably overpacked ours the front didn't line up perfect with it maybe riding up a half an inch but it wasn't open to where you could see inside. We drove with it that way without problems. I suspect you've got too much up front if you have an actual gap/opening or a defective top.

Secure it upright somewhere inside the RV, or in a storage compartment if there is enough clearance. I use bungee cords to tie it in place inside one of my storage compartments.

There is a smaller panel on the top that could be removed. It would leave the other side loose, but it would open.

When stop is mounted with one hole on top and 2 on bottom, then stop 'locks' into place in the up position. I guess you could flip it around, but when you want it 'up' I dont think it will lock in place for you.

I use it at the narrowest opening (but not closed). The fan works very well in that position. I find the mouse pad to be stable, but I'm a light user.

It just snaps open and I think on one you ave to use a screw driver. I am not sure my hubby did it and he is on the road but I know it was easy

No but it opens pretty wide. It does hold up very well. We bought several and gave some for gifts. We have one in both of our vehicles and they work just great. We use ours also for GPS on our iPhones.

Since it is very light and has 3 wheels, it sometimes turns over if you try to pull it sideways. The good news is that because it is so light, it is no problem to turn it upright if it tips.

No and No. It is not flexible where you plug it in and rotate it in the direction you want. You just have to plug in based on where you want the opening.

It stays open even if you don't open it all the way. You cannot however lock it into the open position.

I think it feels a little wobbly. Once you click it all the way open it still has more movement than is ideal for me. It doesn't feel like it's going to collapse but it doesn't give me loads of confidence either.

It unlatches and lifts slightly, but does not spring wide open. You still need to lift it up.

It has straps to keep it rolled up. Works great on a jack-knife sofa bed in a motorhome. Comfortable, inflates, deflates easily and stores well under bed.

It's vertical when you use it in a stationary position. it rotates out of the way in a horizontal position when you pull the trailer.

yes it's open I really like the design for my purposes. I turn mine so it's long and it works out great. I hope this helps.

It is not designed to open from either end. It has a quick release only on one end. It must be at the tailgate end to work properly.
