Default Best portable/stowable ladder?

Newbie owner here and at 5'4" I need a suggestion for a lightweight stepladder that I can store inside the trailer in case I need to deal with the roof while on the road.

Or if someone has a hack for this scenario, please share.

Thank you!

A good friend bought one of these ladders for his camper.
You can even get a 5”x5” pvc tense post, strap it to the bottom of your rig and keep this ladder stowed there.

I have one of those. It is great to have when cleaning for a take-down.

See pic 4 in the first post. I used a 4x4 sleeve and pop riveted lids. It's a tight fit, but that means nothing rattles or moves once the ladder is slid in place.

It's a great thing to have around the campsite.

Brilliant! That is perfect (and easy).

Thank you all!
