Telescopic Ladder, 12.5FT RIKADE Aluminum Telescoping Ladder with Non-Slip Feet, Portable Extension Ladder for Household and Outdoor Working,330lb Capacity

Bought this last summer to bring camping in the RV. It fits nicely in the storage area. Extends high enough to clean the leaves and pine needles off the roof and slides. I also transported it in the back of our SUV, and can still fit a full grocery back there. Very satisfied, works great. Wanted to wait and test before giving a review.

As a 67yo woman, I’m not strong enough any more to pick up, carry around and maneuver my regular 12’ aluminum extension ladder, let alone put it up on top of my car. This 12’ ladder telescopes down and I can put it the trunk easily. It’s lightweight and sturdy. They also make taller ladders but those might start getting a little heavy. Besides, girl, at 67+ yo, you have no business getting on a ladder more than 12’ tall LOL! They also give you a free pair of gardening gloves :-) What more can I say?

We are always on the go with camping and this ladder fits in small spaces but allows us to have a full-sized ladder with us. It is very sturdy but easy to move around and use. I am looking to get a couple more for the house and the work site! I would absolutely recommend it!!!

Not as sturdy as I thought

Just got this and tried it out agains a tree up about 10 ft. (I'm going to use it mostly for camping) and I think it's going to work great for tying up ridge lines or tarps when you need to get up 8 to 10ft. Of course this is not as sturdy as any kind of home ladder but that's the trade-off for compactness. Try putting a 12ft latter in the back of your SUV. If you're nervous about going up ladders this probably isn't for you. As far as functionality and sturdiness this looks really good. Time will tell if it hold up and if it fails, I will come back and update. What I like about this ladder is it has the latches on every step, which makes it easy to adjust. There's another ladder listed here with only one button on the bottom rung which makes it easy to collapse the whole thing (although not any faster because it collapses slowly), but if you put the ladder too high up, you have to collapse the whole thing and start again. That's crazy. Trust me, collapsing this ladder is quick. If you need compactness and portability, ease of use, and fairly sturdy, get this one.
