These ladders are an example of how coaches in general are constructed.

Oh I’m sure there has been a few... but most settled and not disclosed. I’ve owned an RV of some type for over 50 yrs, a close friend is a dealer... so I’ve seen and heard many stories.
The most surprised I’ve ever been, is getting behind the wheel of my 32 hurricane on a secondary road.
It amazes me how the manufacturers take a chassis... which has a load rating, and change the center of gravity which leads to almost uncontrollable sway at times. The aftermarket for all these correction devices is huge, and they boast the simple ease of installation to correct known control problems and to increase safety. I cannot believe these are not standard items on any MH that rolls off the line. Would it really $1000 to bottom line?
My ladder actually seems pretty sturdy... but I do go up and down taking slow steps as not to jerk or jolt more pressure on the mounts.
