I have been looking for that link myself for a couple of years. Never could re-find it after first seeing it.
I'd bet that will solve the OPs "problem".
I know that will be the system I will install when I get my MH...
Thanks again for posting that EZ-Lifter link

AHhhh... It looks like the original EZ-Lifter company is OOB and Alpine has gotten the rights to produce the device. That's why I couldn't re-find the original link! I'm still looking for the original video of the EZ-Lifter in operation. It was very convincing that this was a wonderful product for it's application.
Also, Tarheel make another interesting "erector". Different principal, but raises and lowers at least a Tarheel with a push of a button.

I have no idea how one would attach anything to the roof of a MH, let alone a big heavy erector like this Tarheel "lift and lay" erector. Seems like it would also need some radials, wire mesh or similar grounding being in the middle of a plastic(?) MH roof like that.
Then there is also the "tipper" system.
I've also looked at this in the past:

Not automatic, but easy to erect. About halfway down the "tipper" page is a Travel Trailer installation.
These last two items are not ladder mount, but seem to also meet most of the OP's original requirements. Anyway... just some other ideas for the OP... and me too
