Just picked our first motorhome...a new to us 2005 Beaver Monterey and I managed to break the ladder when backing it into it's new home.  100+ miles of driving and the last 6 inches did me in.  Before I managed to break this one, it was hinged in two places.  Measuring from the top of the rail on the roof to the first hinge is probably 6' and then maybe another 2-3' to the second hinge.   I've looked at a couple of sites who advertise a universal ladder but nothing seems to match the original.  Does anyone have ideas on where I can find a replacement?  Your help would be appreciated.

Try the folks up in Bend. They are a good crew and do have some ladders in the shop for various models. They can  also order others. Link to the parts dept on this website.   http://www.beavercoachsales.com/

Try Northwest RV Supply, 86325 College View Rd, Eugene, OR 97405 866-678-7467.  That is where we got our ladder.

http://www.surcoinc.com/RV-URVL.html Surco Products looks like they might be able to supply what you need.  The pictures on their website look like what is on my 04 Monterey.

Many thanks to all who have tried to give me a "rung" up on solving my predicament.  As suggested by Edward, I called Beaver Coach Sales in Bend and as they didn't have any in stock, they helped identify the ladder p/n (21602862) and referred me to the ladder OEM (Christianson's   269-663-8502).  In about 3 weeks, I'll be able to fix my first bout of stupidity.

I did look at SURCO and I only saw a unit with a single hinge so I was concerned that it wouldn't be an exact replacement.  My ladder has two hinge points and I'm hopeful I'll be able to avoid drilling new holes for the standoff supports which would undoubtedly be in a differnt position than what is already on my coach.

This was my first post in the BAC and I can't thank y'all enough for your assistance.

I have sort of avoided this post, thinking that Dave probably wanted his new to him coach to stay perfect.

I have been rather hard on ladders in my brief RV career.  I have a fairly busy ladder repair business (limited to in-house units).  I found a source for aluminum tube, the 1" size that has been on both of my ladders and a .875 inch tube that fits inside of the 1".  I just cut out the bent piece of the original ladder, replace it with a new 1" piece and use the .875 tube to make the splices.  I use short self tapping sheet metal screws on the coach side of the ladder that go through the wall of the outside and the inside tube to secure it.  It takes 4 screws to secure one splice.  The polish is not exactly the same but over time it blends pretty well.  The ladder ends up arguably stronger than it originally was.  One negative is that the supplier requires a $25 minimum.  Here is the web site:

Now, the reason I finally came out of the closet on this post.  I gave my wife a big "I told you so" when my 6 year old grandson was playing behind the coach last week.  She suggested that I check on him and I suggested that there was nothing he could hurt back there.  The long and the short of it is that I need a new hinge for the fold down part of the ladder.  If anyone has a removed ladder with a good hinge (or set of them) I would sure be interested in buying them from you.  Finding ladder parts seems to require a lot of creativity and I have not had success with the hinges.
