Add a step

[Mammoth]

Hello all, I have a question about steps. My trailer has one step but often we find the distanced from the step to the ground is a little much. I've done some searching and found they sell double steps but I'd have to replace the entire unit. Do they sell an add on step that I could use only when I need it or is my only option a complete replacement? And I don't really want to try something like a step stool. I'd rather something solid.

Thanks for the help

I had the same problem with the three steps on my fifth wheel. I bought a portable adjustable step made by Camco. I believe you can order it online from Walmart or Amazon. It works well for us.

Are you a handy person? you can build your own step for less cost than the metal ones if you have materials on-hand

Thanks but I'm way too lazy for that. I did read on here people use an aerobic step that has the add on lifters to adjust height. It's solid and flat. Gonna look into that maybe.

Made a couple of these that are adjustable for friends.

See now that's pretty sweet. They need to sell something like that for a reasonable price. Nice work

How is it secured to the existing step. I can't figure it out looking at the picture.

We carry an "exercise stepper" with us. It is a 3 piece plastic stackable step. The steps are different heights, so you can adjust them to the proper height you need. You can find them at garage sales. Thought I had a picture, but I will keep looking.

They have metal tabs that hook on the rear of the step. Like a "J".
