2015 Vista 31KE Missing Roof Ladder

We just purchased a New 2015 Vista 31KE and it does not have a roof ladder installed. I'm trying to find out if we can have one installed.

I do not see why you can not have one installed but I have never seen a motorhome without a ladder, that is strange. Have you asked the dealer you bought it from? That seems like the first place I would try.

Yes that's why the first place I checked. They said its not an option so they would sell me the ladder but wouldn't install it for me.

Ohsirr Not long ago I helped a guy with 26HE with the same problem. With the last 5 digits of your WBGO serial number (not VIN) go to the online parts catalog and to the service parts list and get the list of all of the parts used in you coach. Locate the BACKWALL ASM and get the part number. Call Winnebago with that number and ask them for the drawing for this assembly. it will show you if the plates were installed in the Backwall. If you have problems send me the last 5 digits of your serial number.

A lot of the newer units are coming without ladders. None of the Forza's have ladders either.

Leave it alone- those ladders are just a good way to get injured.

Installing one is just an invitation for leaks.

Also a good place to carry ladders and bicycles or attach antenna's and flag poles. ;-)

I went an looked up the BACKWALL ASM for my RV and there is no such thing.
I think its time just to buy a movable ladder.

My Excursion did not come with a ladder and according to Fleetwood the rear cap will not support one. I bought a colapsable ladder I keep in the basement

The 2015 Brave/Tributes do not come with roof ladders either. And their is no room in storage compartments to carry a regular ladder.

Lots of the "newer" ones are coming without the ladders. Our '09 rig is one and frankly I'm going to miss it as I'm one that inspects the roof sealing and washes it off every few months.

Ohsirr, Receive the drawing this morning. The rear ladder backing plates are not installed on your coach. Look at the chart in the upper left hand corner only the 188161-01 has the plates. It appears that if it is not an option they do put the backing plates in.
