JTerry Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase a used roof ladder for my 2009 Monaco Dynasty? I tried Vison RV, Colaw, and RV Yard and no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinvz Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Frederic Flynes recently purchased a new ladder for his coach. You could PM him for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Carbonaro Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I just recently purchased a new ladder from REV in Oregon. It was an exact match for our 2006 Camelot. and reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 @Ted Carbonaro Just out of curiosity... What does a reasonably priced roof ladder from REV cost these days? And is it full length, only top half, or only bottom half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is it full length, only top half, or only bottom half? $824.75, which DOES include shipping. $464.75, if you pick it up at REV.

Mike Wardell Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Hi Jay, I have a bottom section. Not sure what ladder is on an 09 Dynasty. I can send pictures and measurements if you want. Mike Wardell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Carbonaro Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 My ladder is full length and it cost $365.00 plus shipping. That was in July 2023. The original was chrome, the replacement is grey; otherwise it's identical to the original. It was a complete kit with all mounting braces and hardware.

major_west Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 (edited) The center section of my ladder was damaged by the previous owner backing into a tree. I purchased a generic RV ladder from Amazon for under $200. Because the generic ladder was not a perfect fit, I reused the top portion of the factory ladder where it rounds over the top and bolts to the RV roof. I replaced the damaged straight section of the factory ladder with the straight section of the generic ladder. I used an inexpensive plumbers pipe cutter to cut the ladder sections. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ERQ1JW https://www.amazon.com/RIDGID-40617-Quarters-Tubing-Cutter The generic ladder was about 1 inch narrower than the factory ladder, so that required drilling some new holes to mount it to the RV body with pop rivets.

Ours was damaged by the dealership and replaced with an aftermarket, which made my OCD twitch beyond control, and it couldn’t hold a candle to the quality, fit & finish of the REV replacement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTerry Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 I want to say a great big thank you for all the responses regarding my ladder. I had not tried the new avenue thinking it would not be available due to the age of my RV. I will definitely call Rev Group in Oregon. And to Mike Wardell, thanks for the offer of the bottom section. I need the top section. I backed into the gutter on my garage and ruined my ladder, cracked the fiberglass and crushed the gutter. Ouch!!!! $$$$$. We really haven't used it yet and I completely forgot that I have a rear camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an issue with our toad coming uncoupled, thankfully the safety cables prevented it from continuing on its trajectory toward the Texaco Mini Mart, but it slingshotted back into the coach. Our insurance took care of everything, and you’d never know anything had ever happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pucker factor pegged the meter for sure, it’s a terrible feeling knowing that you can’t do a thing to stop what’s happening. It could have been worse, I couldn’t find my safety cables before we left on the trip and decided to leave without them…it was the flat we got on the toad that convinced me to stop and buy new ones. The nut on the stinger’s ball stripped right off…never seen that happen before, and the stinger was two years old and used maybe a dozen times. I should back up a bit and say that we were towing our Jeep CJ-5 at the time, which has an a-frame hitch that fits on the front bumper and uses a 2” ball mount. For all intents and purposes, once it’s attached to the stinger, it’s not supposed to go anywhere. The drawback is that there’s no shock absorption whatsoever. When we turned right, toward the fuel pumps, the a-frame shock-loaded the ball, which stripped right off the nut. Now that we have the Jeep JKU, we have a NSA ReadyBrake system.
