I don't use telescoping ladders.  I don't even own one.  I only climb on top of my Newell when I am at home and the coach is in garage.  I use an extension ladder that will extend several feet above the height of the coach.  I tape foam rubber where it touches the top for protection of the paint.  I don't have to get on top very often and that is a good thing at my age. I have a 10 foot step ladder which I use to clean and polish the top of my slides, other than that I try to stay off ladders.
