I realize I could get one of those collapsible ladders and for those of you who use one of these, how stable are they? How easy is it to get on and off the roof? For someone uncomfortable with heights ( me ) are they even somethings to be considered?

Personally I wouldn't own an RV that didn't have a ladder attached. I do too much preventive maintenance and need to inspect that roof area every couple of months.
Are you sure you will need to get up on the roof to tilt those panels all the time?
If you are uncomfortable with heights you will not be a happy person on any type of unattached light weight ladder leaning on the side of your coach. I think your only options are to stay off the roof and forget about tilting solar panels, or cancel your order and buy a coach with a sturdy ladder.
