Now I've sold my van, no longer needed the space, I need and telescopic muti purpose step ladder to fit in a C-Max. Does anyone have experience of any of these?

Sterk, Werner and HOMCOM. Links below.

Sorry no, I disregarded all of the telescopic ones due to their weight limitations. If you're within the limit then best of luck.

They’re not really telescopic, more folding. There are proper telescopic ladders around though that look a bit more convincing.

Presumably, ladder manufacturers have never seen a telescope. Anyway...

Homcom is random imported junk. Sterk and Werner are both actual ladder manufacturers. Werner is the bigger name, and would be my choice not least as the warranty is ten times longer.

Are they telescopic ladders or telescopic step?

Thanks Adampr, I expect you're right as usually you get what you pay for.

Thanks, most telescopic ladders are not fit for purpose. The ones I mentioned are step telescopic ladders.

Little Giant stepladders are good but expensive. They are more of an articulating ladder rather than telescopic.

This is a telescopic ladder, the others are folding steps. www.screwfix.com/c/storage-ladders/telescopic-ladd...r
