Aren't these telescoping ladders? I definitely would never trust one of them, but the ladder in the .gif was a pretty standard extension ladder. I see them all the time and never saw them fail on their own.
But then, I've never seen someone stupid enough to try something like putting the bottom of a ladder on anything but solid ground in person either.
I own all three and I have a strong opinion on this... the answer is none of the above, you want a "telescoping ladder"! (Well, plus a step ladder.)
For example this (there are other brands, that's just one example, I think they're all about the same).
An extension ladder is a bit of a pain to store and transport. My little giant is so insanely heavy and difficult to deal with that I never touch it (in theory it's good for things like painting on stairs, but I haven't yet had a situation where I've actually needed it). You do also need a step ladder for reaching things in the middle of a room.
But the telescoping ladder is what I use for almost everything all the time. It's tiny, easy to transport and store, extends to any size so it's good for everything. I use it *constantly*. People are always asking where I got it, etc. when they see how convenient it is.
One big catch to be aware of, if you don't close it in a very specific way, it will slam down and smash your fingers. This is not something to mess around with, you have to fully understand how to close it correctly.
Yep, I bought an extension ladder, and it was delivered for free. That one purchase probably paid for Prime for the year. I love Prime and wouldn't give it up even if it was more than this.
I saw this ladder online. Is it good enough for RV? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M8FW654
This might not be exactly it but is deff close.

I thought it was one like this

This has served me well for exactly that: roof/gutter access. https://smile.amazon.com/Finether-Aluminum-Extension-Capacity-Non-slip/dp/B01EW6WI5W
Our rv has a rear ladder but i really do not trust it. I need to get up top now and again to clean or adjust solar panels.
I carry this ladder. Does what i need and fits in the basement. Weighs about 25lbs.
They come in multiple heights. my rig is about 12ft high so i got a few feet higher so i could safely reach the top.

A telescoping ladder. I've never used one but it's probably safe as long as you don't put too much weight on it or have it at too low of an angle where the pressure gets transferred to the middle instead of the feet.
Sorta... I just checked my original order, and it was $163 with free prime 2 day. Today it's $208 and one week shipping, and not sold by or shipped from Amazon.
Still not complainin'.

maybe it is time to get a new one
I love my ladder, too. Why give people easy access to your Roof?

Yes. The ladder I use though is a telescoping ladder. All the inspectors in my area use these types of ladders

It's easy to fit in my car since I don't need a ladder rack. Even though I haven't tried bringing it on my motorcycle, I feel it's small enough that I could easily pull it off.
I moved in February. Currently our house is almost empty, but I'm cool with that.
I have bought several things. A ladder, a mower, and the Nest.
The ladder has many uses and the mower is electric, so I don't need to pay for gas. The Nest was something I could have avoided buying, but I wanted the ability to control the thermostat remotely and be able to sense when I'm there or not, as we end up being gone for much of the summer.
I did end up buying some cheapo tools from Harbor Freight, but aside from that we have just been recovering and saving for home improvement projects and furnishings.
Telescopic Step Ladder; I have thought of these, but I would like to see one up-close first.

Man I wish I could've found the 8.5 foot version before I got the 10.5 foot version; shortest one I could find.
It works well. It bows a little if I don't set it up at a steep angle. Folds down small. Came with a carrying bag for some reason.
Looks similar to this https://www.amazon.com/Ohuhu-Telescopic-Extension-Extendable-Telescoping/dp/B01LAHCOQ4/ref=sxin_3_ac_d_pm?ac_md=1-0-VW5kZXIgJDEwMA%3D%3D-ac_d_pm&keywords=telescoping+ladder&pd_rd_i=B01LAHCOQ4&pd_rd_r=1ab81b41-64bb-4a6e-8b98-2e88828775f6&pd_rd_w=14g4W&pd_rd_wg=NMdKG&pf_rd_p=24d053a8-30a1-4822-a2ff-4d1ab2b984fc&pf_rd_r=YCE3Q20JHKG3TZC0GMH9&psc=1&qid=1572217952
Has anyone tried the telescoping ladder? I've run into this on Amazon and thought it might be great for the TT, but it seems like it would have to be a perilous climb. What do you think?
Central California here. We have a 1942 house (I believe it’s fairly house-style-dependent).
We had a ladder of sorts affixed to the wall at our attic access. Husband took that down some years after he bought a pull-down metal ladder. He cut plywood for the “door” and did all the work himself--he’s gotten lots of compliments from workmen who’ve come to the house.
Kinda a combination of this and this.
My mom in Southern California has a 1937 house. Her attic access has NO ladder. It’s a very small opening with a cover in the attic.
I was looking for a ladder for my Sprinter and found the same.. about $800-1000 for a "permanently" mounted ladder.
I have been mulling over whether one of these would be better for the last week, so here is an idea

I'm leaning towards NOT having a ladder attachment on the outside of my van. For cost and also practicality, why do I need a mounted ladder.. to invite someone to steal my solar panels? It is not like it will see use multiple times a day, so there isn't really a convenience factor.

I have one at work. They seem a little sketchy at first but we have never had an issue with one and they are really handy
I use one to get into the attic of my townhouse. Its great because I can collapse it and store it off to the side in my closet. Its portable enough to move around.
This is the one I have: ladder
I've been happy with this one
