I bought a similar ladder and work platform from Aldi but have hardly used it because even as a ladder its base being so wide can restrict usage in certain places. In fact only today I looked at it on the garage wall and thought “ there’s another piece for charity”.This is worth considering, quite versatile.

One with rungs ideally…Can I please ask for recommendations for the best ladder to use for cleaning the caravan roof.
Thanks
Steve
John. I have one from Aldi a couple of years ago. A good piece of kit but just not high enough to reach the roof. A well padded ladder with a diy broad base works for me . Imo you need to be be at hip height to the roof to reach far enough to reach the entire roof.This is worth considering, quite versatile.

Whoever on the Forum recommended them should be made to serve penance 😂We could flood the Market, I have an unused one as well.
Maybe he has 6 foot legs🤣🤣Whoever on the Forum recommended them should be made to serve penance 😂
Now I will be told “ caveat emptor” by the legal eagles. 👩💼

Now with the majority of caravan roofs being a flat horizontal surface way above eye level, quite what purpose does cleaning it actually serve? I did the " inverted boat" roof" of our earlier vans, but they were very visible.
I do tend to feel many things that can be left alone, are best left so. Modern caravan roofs with the personal hazards, and potential damage involved, and no obvious advantage other than one of self-satisfaction, seems a case in point.
I don't clean the flat section roof of my house.
That ladder looks fab would cut down on time when cleaning the caravan roofI use a large extending double stepladder , type as pictured, very stable,provides good access onto roof or indeed just to use a cleaning brush. You don’t need to use the extending upper section at all if it’s this size, can be left off. Doesn’t need to touch caravan which is a bonus. You can climb either side to access two areas of roof at once essentially. Big ladder to store and carry, that’s the downside.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone clean off black mould around skylights? I didn’t try too hard because I thought I could end up opening a can of worms…
