can this ladder be used in an RV since the window sills are very narrow

yes - we have other rv customers - the universal grapple hook on the x-it ladder will secure to most edge conditions, including your rv wall(s). another benefit for rv owners is the compact + light size of your x-it ladder - it's the smallest in the world and the size of a 2 liter soda bottle - so it stores easy and does no weigh much. if your x-it ladder is longe than needed - the extra ladder will just sit on the ground and will not cause issues. blessings & be safe, aldo x-it inventor

X-IT 3 Story (23 ft) Emergency ladders should work just fine. To be on safe side, I would measure from your window sill to the sidewalk and order accordingly.

I don't believe so but you could check with the company to ensure my answer is correct. Each side has spring action that holds it secure in the window space. Perhaps the company can build one to fit your needs. They are great to work with.

I don't think so. The steps are pretty narrow. It is a lovely step ladder that I use in my custom, dark wood closet.

I don't think so, the expandable width panels are not strong, only meant to cover space left in window. Not study unless you built a frame for support, even then they might not stay extended. Hope this helps

Yes, I had mine done in less than 5". Instruction are basically the same for either type of sliding window.UPDATED 5/11/2015: This will work in a casement/crank window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others solved this problem.

The base is certainly small enough to fit on a window sill, but having the "kick stand" extended the full amount, it takes about 8 1/2 inches. You could probably try having the stand not fully extended, but not sure if that would work.

I would not. Your truck bed is probably 6' long and the extension would give you maybe another 6' but that would leave way too much unsupported for your ladder.

I believe it will be too heavy for an RV. I had a ranch house and it was too low. Needed legs at the end of patio to hold up. Definitely made for a two story.

I have used mine in an RV very successfully, just make sure to crack a window for combustion air.

No. The ladder can not be mounted on the short dimension of the pull down door. It takes almost the full space to secular the metal steps

Mine is 6" deep and the screws were about mid-way. So, I'd say a 4" windowsill would work--maybe even 3". You can adjust the location of the brackets under the bed to fit deeper or shorter sills.

No, I would not recommend it as it must hook over the window sill, which at least on my one casement window could not be done.

I do not recommend using this type of rope ladder for any height higher than this one is designed for. The steps are too narrow and the entire ladder twists easily. We had to anchor base to make it more stable. Works fine for 4 & 1/2 foot ladder..

I think not. You should lower the ladder, not just throw it out the window. If you have questions, contact X-It. Contact info is on their website.

Yes, because the top of the ladder frame is bolted to a joist. See manufacture for correct size of ladder.
