If the screws have just pulled out of the smc but the area where the mount
sits against the body is otherwise undamaged I would suggest bonding a
piece of plastic or plywood to the backside of the body panel and install
slightly longer screws. Yes you will need to remove the interior trim
panels but you will not need to remove the ladder or do any paintwork.

Sometimes a larger diameter screw and urethane sealer is all that you might
need to do on all the ladder supports.

I intend to fix mine from the inside. A couple of the screws are loose. I have not done it yet, but my plan is to epoxy some flat steel tin nuts to the skin on the inside and then use slightly longer stainless screws. I plan on doing ALL of them, not just the few that are loose.
If it is broken, then I would epoxy a few hard points inside made out of small aluminum plates.

I was able to pull back the plastic on the inside of the coach just below
the window and I put a steel plate in there and then used ss bolts and
nuts to attach my ladder; it has held strong for 15+ years (I saved the
insulation off the wall where the plate was). I only did that one
location. JWID
