The 12.5 ladder we purchased (with a coupon and discount of course) at Camping World, has a reach of 16' which was important to me to feel safe to get up on the roof of the RV if and when I need to. The ladder measures 30" retracted and weighs 28 lbs. It is a bit hefty but I feel more secure on it than the 10.5' ladder that Camping World also offers. That one is 18.5 lbs and retracts to 28" but should reach at least 14' safely. It just didn't feel safe to me!
Hope this helps.
Paul
