What owners report

CONSUMER'S SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT PROVIDE A LADDER NEEDED TO ACCESS THE MOTORHOME'S ROOF. THIS IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE COACH'S AIR CONDITIONING AND OTHER ROOF COMPONENTS AS REQUIRED BY THE OWNER'S MANUAL. CONSUMER PURCHASED A FIBERGLASS TO ACCESS ROOF, BUT WHEN PLACED AGAINST THE FIBERGLASS COACH IT ROCKS CAUSING CONSUMER TO BE THROWN FROM LADDER.*AK
