One Sturdy RV Ladder

I am not sure that this is the right place for this, but this is the kind of ladder I would like to see on my rig. I saw it on a livestock/RV combo 40 foot trailer that was in the site next to me in Fredericksburg last weekend. You know that the ladder is sturdy and takes a beating from use because the livestock's feed is usually stored on the top of the trailer. Note that it is basically a single unit with everything welded together. Square tubing is used for the sides and the rungs are solid and welded to the square tubing. As can be seen it is bolted top and bottom and it would be quite simple to change the design of the top so it was higher and bolted to the top of the roof.

I think they could alter the present ladder to be more sturdy if some how, instead of the bottom just curving back into the ladder, they would put a 'T' there with adjustable legs that could be extended to the ground, thus bearing most of the weight put on it.
