Broke the Rear Exterior Ladder

[Roger Milne]

Trying to back the RV into its new home and I miscalculated the height of the handrail on the exterior ladder. Is this an generic ladder assembly I can get somewhere or do I have to try and source a OEM replacement?

Thanks

Perhaps a phone call to Beaver Coach Sales & Service (BCS) in Bend, Oregon could get your questions answered.  BCS may have a new or used ladder.  Other than BCS, you might call on a salvage yard near you where old motorhomes go to rest; they are everywhere in the USA and probably Canada.

Ok Thanks. That's what I was wondering if the only choices might be. I wasn't sure if there was a generic ladder that might be used as a replacement.

   Roger,
  They do sell universal replacement ladders. If the damage is minor and dependent on your skill level, you can use 3/4" copper tubing for a splice insert into the aluminum tubing to attach replacement sections. A tubing cutting tool makes a real clean cut to join 2 sections and is almost an invisible joint. Use aluminum pop rivets to secure the sections. Topline was probably the original vendor. I would start with Beaver parts as David suggested. Fred

Thanks Fred,

Sadly the upper right hand handrail was jammed in between the frame of the RV port and basically snapped off at the roof mount and the first stand off support arm on the back of the body, so i'd need the whole new right hand handrail and I am looking at eTrailers for a generic replacement ladder for the dimensional fit and it says the bottom portion is trimable to length, so I may end going this route after I call Beaver Coach Sales to eliminate them from the list.

"the bottom portion is tremble to length"

Nicht verstehen.

Spelling issue. Thanks. Corrected now.

When we bought our Beaver last year, it was missing the bottom half of the ladder.  I couldn't find one anywhere.

I called REV/Monaco and told them I was looking for the rear ladder.  They asked me what coach I had.  I said 2008 Beaver Marquis.  They said they have no Beaver parts and hung up.

I had been looking at a 2008 Monaco Signature before we bought our motorhome and the rear caps on it and mine looked nearly identical to me. So I looked up the VIN of the Signature on the dealer website.  I called REV and told them I needed the rear ladder for the 2008 Monaco Signature and gave them that VIN.  They had the whole ladder (upper and lower) in stock and sent it to me after charging a princely sum.  It is not polished metal but is metal painted gray.

IDK if the rear cap on your Contessa is the same as a 2008 Marquis.  But if you can figure out which Monaco had the same rear cap as yours all you need is the VIN off it and you could probably get one from REV.  The REV part number for my ladder was 10111636 LADDER RR SIGNATURE 06 REV **2 PIECE. $390 shipped.

Hey Michael that’s a good find. I don’t know who REV is? Do you have a contact info ie phone email or website. I’ll reach out to them Thanks.

REV is who ended up owning Monaco I believe. They have lots of parts for the Monaco coaches. But “not” beaver even though Monaco owned beaver when the bankruptcy happened. Beaver Coach Sales in Bend, OR owns the Beaver assets and rights out of the bankruptcy.

If you call REV and tell them you are looking for beaver parts it will be a short conversation.

Anyway, if you put that part number in this website , it shows as available:  https://revrvparts.com/store

On my Patriot the ladder was broken when I got it ( looked to me like a tree limb had removed one of the top hoops )
I bought a new aftermarket replacement kit which matched the width and even though it was a shorter ladder I was able to reuse the lower section
To build an exact fit because the kits come in two pieces with a splicing hinge to allow then to fit curved rear caps , the hinges can be used in a straight line to make a splice as well and if the original ladder is the same width it should connect right up you just take your old ladder off lay it on the ground match up the rungs and cut and splice the new one in .

Here is a spec sheet for a Calson aftermarket unit check it out ( compare it to yours width and rung spacing and see what your think)
Like I said it worked for me and matched perfectly.
Go to the installation manual to see the specs.
