We've always used the folding ladder as you describe. Works great.

    Welcome to the site! I bought a folding ladder at Boaters World that has

the steps that fold up and the arms fold inward so it takes up less space
and you can use it either side. I have a 19 foot Rogue with tall sides. I
also climb the foot when I have too but I am getting too old to do that!
