Skylight door for easy access to roof?

[RRR]

What, really? Do you remember where you saw this?

A couple updates. I bought one of those telescoping ladders, and I think I might just double it as the loft ladder, replacing the old one. I'll have to see how that works out.

Something I noticed though when I was on the roof was that the loft skylight does indeed have a hinge, which allows for at least cracking it open. I didn't want to test it out, since it was around freezing temperature, and I didn't want to risk breaking any brittle plastic due to the cold.

I might go back when it's a bit warmer to see if that hinge can open all the way, or if it's designed to only crack open.

Having an escape does sound like a good safety feature on top of how I'd like to use it. Having another viable escape can be a good thing for a number of weird, but rare scenarios I can imagine up if I let my mind wander a bit (zombie apocalypse anyone?).

Google "Bus escape hatch" and look at images. That may give you an idea.

Escape hatches are fairly common on Class C's with overhead bunks and truck campers. Here's one brand that Amazon sells in various sizes:

I Googled “bus roof escape hatch” and found some possibilities. This site may seems to have a few.
