Working at height on the motorhome

[L' Hobo]

Ditto.

The chap who did our Ceramic coating came with something like one of these

Amazon product ASIN B081SNN99Q
Great piece of kit - he was able to do the whole van without leaning the ladder against it - even to get on the roof.

All I get is an Amazon advert, are they good for cleaning the roof?

I use one of these https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/acatalog/Home-Master-DIY-Scaffold-Towers.html

Same here,just use part of our house ladders with a protective foam pad between the MH and ladder and a telescopic brush.and just move it around the MH to suit. I don't need to go on the roof at all.

Similar to this. Except I use my Crocs over the end of the ladder where it abuts the van. A tip I saw in Denia one winter. And at last a positive use for Crocs. Can’t stand them despite having two pairs.

I have the open toe flip flop crocs - they’d just slip down the ladder.

Does it allow you to reach over the top of the van, even for a short arse like myself

Be very careful with Telescopic ladders they can collapse even when a steps are in LOCKED position ,,, happened to me at work a few years ago , i broke 6 ribs ,,

The Health and safety investigation said the all tabs on steps was indicating LOCKED but the ladder a new American made one which we had been using for 2 weeks still telescoped shut with me 3m in the air . H&S executive want telescopic ladders banned in UK as they are considered a major hazard and are the cause of many falls from height due to malfunction , many places where I worked will not allow them .

I think it's 1.2m high the one I have , it let's me 6ft 3 reach around half way across roof

Used to have an external metal fire escape where I worked. The first balcony on it was the perfect height for doing the roof and perfectly safe. Probably broke all the H&S rules but I only did it at weekends when the building was closed. Unbelievably there was also a tap close by.
