Thanks Paul N,
I agree, shorter than 12.5 ft doesn’t feel safe, no matter how tempting the weight and retracted length.
Just realized why my ladder is so long when retracted...there are spacers between each rung, to prevent pinched fingers when retracting the ladder. They have since changed the positioning of the release latches, so the spacers are no longer necessary, and the retracted ladder is significantly shorter.
My RV is currently at the Ford dealer (long, sad story...). Can anyone out there with a Compass or Gemini tell me the length/width of the storage compartment on the passenger side, under the outside TV?
