MORE Shortages in the RV Industry...This Time it's LADDERS!

[@WildeGreg]

Thanks for the video on the Ustep ladder. I had not seen these before and your review was great. I'm 6'3" and 265lbs so all the others I've looked at I didn't feel comfortable. Used your link and ordered Monday. Received it today and am very impressed.

[@MattsRVReviews]

Awesome thank you so much!

[@runfox_4780]

Greg where is the link , Im not seeing it?? I love thuis design, looks like a safe expandable finally.!!

[@WildeGreg]

@@runfox_4780 there is a link in the video drop down area. Great ladder. I've been very impressed and pleased.

[@stevez340]

The next time you climb the ladder can you please show us how easy it is to get on and off the roof for maintenance?

[@thomastheys6681]

This is definitely a great product as a carpenter I spent my life on ladders do you want to make sure that the ladder extends above the landing area by two or three rungs. And at best always have someone at the bottom of the ladder to make sure that it does not shift during the acent. And the dismount. I definitely carry one of these on my rig. Thomyt

Love the double jump Matt you and Wil did! I like that ladder too. Thank you for reviewing this product. Thank you all for the video.

I'm glad I bought my telescoping ladder 3 years ago even though my Imagine has a rear ladder attached. Thanks!

[@MattsRVReviews]

Awesome!

[@reymustanggt4082]

SUGGESTION... install notches at the top of your RV so that the ladder fits in between... also, the ladder should be stretched higher than the roof for a much safer grab!!! GREAT VIDEO

[@MattsRVReviews]

Thanks for the tips!

[@elizabethfair971]

Looks to be a must have with the shortages.

This was the 11.5’ but it also comes in a 13.5’ version.

@@jaybrown5431 Will you be selling them at Hershey?

[@judit1783]

Wonderful, great ladder. I would need the bag cause I would sell every ladder I own and use this everywhere!! Inside, outside, house, RV, trim a tree, etc. etc.

[@ManuelHernandez-bg8bl]

These are very compact and easy to carry in a B Class RV too! I saw a KZbinr post that while he was camping overnight at a Grocery store an long term camper (or homeless person) climbed his ladder and was trying to remove his solar panels while he was sleeping. Thanks for the link!!!

[@dorismatthews4416]

Hey Matt, Wil and Jen, that's a cool ladder for sure! Hope the RV industry puts one in every rig they make! Thanks for showing it to us! Keep on keepin' on!

[@MattsRVReviews]

Thanks Doris!

Really like product reviews by the team. Keep this up. I already have my motorhome now, but I'm always interested in product reviews.

[@williampeacy5217]

When you went to the travel trailer storage compartment and leaned it against the front wall, you might be able use the wall mounting bracket to secure the ladder to the wall horizontally.

[@tinaredington3445]

i have a residental USTEPS ladder already my oldest son seen it and decided to buy it to get on our roof to fix the skylights if needed safely.

[@rkars]

Nice looking ladder. I know how important a good one is. Once I fell off a 16 foot ladder, thank goodness I was on the 1st rung. 😄

[@MattsRVReviews]

LOL You got me Rob!

[@Augiebracerofam]

Companies are conspiring to keep Matt from climbing up the ladders and showing the roof tops. Actually I prefer the look of not having a permanent ladder on an RV. Thank you for sharing anything related to RV's and have a great day.

[@MattsRVReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@timzimprich]

Thanks for taking the time to post this video. I'm currently in the market for one but these are pretty pricey. I may have to wait and see if they have any deals coming up soon for the holidays...

[@michiganprospector8209]

I have two ladders of that style 12’ and 16’. Love them except for accessing my trailer roof. Not so bad getting up there but so scary coming down. I waited over an hour once on the roof waiting for someone to hold the ladder while coming down.

[@michaelwaller6093]

Nice ladder, but it seems pricey. More concerning to me is the fact that you can find absolutely nothing about Ustep, other than it is sold on Amazon. I would think, that a company selling a supposedly reputable product, would have visibility to the public, an active website describing its product line, and/or contact info for customer support. Apparently, the parent company is Telestep, out of Canada. Interestingly, there is zero mention of Usteps on their website. There is zero warranty information on the Amazon link, so who do you contact for support or issues? Before I’d plunk down $400 for a ladder, regardless of how nice it looks, I’d certainly want more information made available to me.

[@lindatemple1545]

What a cool ladder. Love the jump wil

Thanks Matt good home ladder too

Thanks so much Mike

[@ManuelHernandez-bg8bl]

I prefer not having a ladder hanging on the outside of my RV. I saw video of a couple that got stuck on the highway with a peaceful protest.They climbed on their roof jumped up and down an broke whatever they could. This looks like a must purchase for me!

[@MattsRVReviews]

[@CharmaineSilva777]

Wow, had not thought of that. That's a good thought. Don't sound too peaceful though haha

[@ManuelHernandez-bg8bl]

@@CharmaineSilva777 "Mostly peaceful". If you take out them breaking windows, starting fires, beating people, throwing rocks and frozen water bottles at the police you would have to agree that they are mostly peaceful.

Hey USTEP! THIS IS AWESOME. I am very impressed. Loss like a great product. I wished I had gotten this instead of a different types I had bought last year. I will be checking you guys out and putting this on my Christmas wish list

[@MichaelMaduske]

Just bought a brand new 2022 Thor Chateau. Didn't have a ladder. Camping World reached out to Thor and they said due to the shortage, the 2022's weren't shipping with them.

[@BigBadJohnDiesel]

I bought a similar type ladder from Harbor Freight for $100. Works great!

You probably could use this ladder for other purposes besides RVs. I like it!!!!!

Amazing design. I am going to buy one for my garage.

Hey Matt, Check out VEVOR Telescoping Ladder, Extra wide steps, top hooks and 400lb capacity.

[@tomasheim5275]

This ladder is just something else, way beyond the competition. If you do not want to compromise on quality or safety I suggest you go with Usteps!

[@ronalaska2472]

I hope you never go on top of a trailer with the ladder below the edge, you will never get down! Always extend the ladder as far beyond the top as it will go so you can grab it to get started down! Feeling for it with a foot would be scary and exciting, Matt’s 1st on screen fall! Also to be safest possible attach a line at the top rung and heave it over the trailer to a tie down spot! Good luck!

[@MattsRVReviews]

Thanks so much Ron!

[@ginnylyon1091]

Hi Matt and Will, just watched your video on the Usteps ladder. It's seems like a good ladder. However when I went through your link to Amazon it did not give me any discount to order the ladder. So I was wondering do you still get a discount if you order through your link and if so is there a code number that we need to get this discount? Thanks in advance for getting back with me I really appreciate it. Have a fabulous day.

[@chrisrowland2223]

[@MattsRVReviews]

Yes sir

[@rclewen]

Nice job! Thanks! Is it possible to let the RV manufacturer know that you won't accept an RV that is missing features (e.g., ladder, heat pump, etc.) that are shown on the spec sheet? I'd rather wait a little longer.

[@tinaredington3445]

the bag is useful for all the extra parts so you do not lose them matt. lol

[@jeffcraig6550]

Ladders should be at a 4x1 ratio - four foot up, should be one foot away from what it leaning against. To close, you can fall backwards, to shallow and it could bend or lose footing.

[@michaelgartman4320]

wish there were a discount code. $400 is a big chunk of change.

[@brentfrench752]

So if you buy a new rig with no ladder, will the manufacturer/dealer install a ladder for free once the shortage is over?

[@MattsRVReviews]

Probably not :(

[@gordo864]

Love this fellas! Please do more of these quick RV accessories reviews. Great looking ladder! And Matt your a mass of pure sexy 😀

Thanks Gordo!

[@stevez340]

I have one of those ladders for a seasonal trailer because it doesn’t have a ladder. As a 60 year old man that has owned RVs for over 3 decades and has always maintained my own roofs, I can tell you that this ladder is ok if you don’t have one, but it is no where near as stable and safe as an installed ladder on any RV or the one on my 2021 Rock wood Mini Lite😬 Also, if there is such a shortage of ladders, then can you please tell me why Rockwood and Jayco still have ladders while manufacturers like Wildwood and Cherokee claim there are none available🤔 I am looking forward to your next video with Will demonstrating this ladder for your viewers🙄

[@MattsRVReviews]

Your awesome Steve!

[@jaybrown5431]

This ladder rated at 300#. Most RV ladders are rated at 225-250. This is far stronger and using it at an angle is safer than a vertical RV ladder.

[@stevez340]

@@jaybrown5431 I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. I currently have a telescoping ladder for a seasonal trailer and I’ve had several attached ladders over the past 3 decades including one currently on my Rockwood Mini Lite. All of my attached ladders have been much more stable than any ladder that is not especially when you are almost never on flat or stable ground to set up a ladder and access the roof of your trailer like you are with a demonstration on a blacktop parking lot. Every time I leave a campsite, I climb on the roof to make sure my slide out is not compromised with debris before I close it and very few campsites are perfectly level, but if you have had experience with both types of ladders and you disagree then God Bless You👍

[@jaybrown5431]

@@stevez340 this ladder has adjustable feet as an accessory to always make it perfectly level. It has a triangular design (the only one on the market) making it extremely safe. Please explain how a 225# RV ladder with no certification can be stronger than a 300# ANSI rated ladder.

[@stevez340]

@@jaybrown5431 I have an adjustable ladder, I use it and I have had to put something under one leg of the ladder to level and stabilize it, but my wife has never had to hold my attached ladder to prevent it from moving or sliding along the roofline of my trailer, but if you think a ladder with no attachment points is more stable than an attached ladder then by all means go for it!

There's no shortage of aluminum or steel in the USA so "good luck with this type of bean counting." The time to start moving the metal in the RV Industry was like 10 Years ago after the recovery from the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. Now Rivian is out running wild with the *MASSIVE* F150 Lightning soon to enter production...and obviously Ford Motor Company isn't new to the idea of Mass Production unlike say Tesla ... or apparently even General Motors now. Anyhow that GM 3.0 liter diesel is supposed to be quite the amazing engine. As far as commercial engines the Ford F750 has been making noise in this market going on forever now. Cummins, John Deere, Caterpillar, MTU and who knows who else suddenly all have a lot of work to do. Only Allison Transmission seems *SOMEWHAT* safe at the moment. Better be using real rubber for that air brake system, too! The plastic ones used in the USA Trucking Industry for decades *NEVER* should have come into existence in the first place. Plus now fuel cell vehicles in the USA ("Nikola" as new, Toyota/Honda for decades now, plus Plug Power plus Ballard Power etc)

Will, is business savvy and an all around good egg who brings a different and more diverse point of view to the reviews he participates in. Why would you want to see him climb any ladder that's underated for him and damage a new RV or possibly get hurt?
