Open Roads Forum  >  Class A Motorhomes  > 6 foor or 8 foot This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 3   Next horizon451 • View posts Henderson, NV Senior Member Joined: 02/19/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 09/01/10 03:43pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I am trying to decide what size ladder to take with me on my journeys. I will have to hang it from the rear ladder on the coach as I don't have a large enough basement to take either size. I have both sizes in fiberglass. I'm thinking the 8 footer as I can get to the edge of the roof with that one and reach almost anything. But, it is bigger and heavier to handle. The 6 footer is a more convenient size and lighter. What do you guys have and what would you recommend. Live Long and Prosper. Home is where we park it.

Works for most things, but I think a 6 ft would be ideal.

Fred Just Lee • View posts California Senior Member Joined: 02/02/2004 View Profile Posted: 09/01/10 03:58pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Well in the end it will be up to you. I have a 6ft fiberglass and I have always carried a 6ft. BUT I am leaning towards getting a 8ft just because I catch myself on the TOP of the 6ft all the time. Yes 6 is easier but in my case 8 would be better....

Many times having to stand on the very top to reach what I wanted to do. For the last 3 years I have carried a 8' step ladder and wish I had gone this route years ago.
