Yep! It did! Lucky me didn't hurt anything other than the ladder and my ego..
I have a 14 foot step ladder at home I use when needed, and its sturdy. The ladder that comes with these is a dangerous piece of junk anyway. Climbed up it one time thought it was going to collapse. I'm right at 200 pds. And too old to fall off a ladder. So I'm actually glad its gone. There! I told it.... go ahead... take your shots
That's how customize our campers.

I found that the awning was blocking too much light, so I added some sky lights. It was really easy all you need to do is find a nice low eve and then cut the corner a little too sharp.

Perfect, I had a nice set if windows to let in a little sun.

I don't know if anyone else does this, but I get on the roof and sweep all the junk off of the slides before I close them. I hate climbing that sorry excuse for a ladder, and was thinking I might take my little giant ladder next time. It is kind of heavy, but very sturdy for that 13ft climb.

I have a small electric blower. I keep a 6' ladder in the garage, I usually blow the junk off the top, and in my case the topper awnings. Also blow debris out of slide tracks.

Yes and yes.

I hate that flimsy excuse of a ladder, it's hard enough climbing a ladder with a bum knee and when it's straight up it's even harder.

I was in a Lowes last year and found a 14' articulated ladder that they were clearing out at $30. I figured that it would be just the right size for the trailer and now I have the makings of a scafold, i have an 18' on that I have used around the house for years.

Thanks for that, I'll have to see if I still have my old electric blower around.
