Hmmm...I don't see any front living on their WEB site. Is it something that is not in production yet?

Thanks, but I've seen them. dblr was talking about a Vanleigh Vilano front living, I think.

You are correct the Van Leigh front livibg room is not yet showing on their web site but it was at the Hershey show.
I heard at the Cedar Creek factory that the front living room is going back to a 5 slide unit, of course that could have changed again already.

The new steps were to go into production on all CC's as of 8/22/16. If you bought off of a dealers lot, the unit was built before then. Or did you order it built, specifying the fold up steps?
We are still planning on ordering one built to our specifications in December, dependent on which steps are available to order. I have heard the Aluminum fold up steps will be available, but no official announcement yet.

Friends of ours just ordered a new Cedar Creek from Couch's and have requested the old style steps, now they are waiting to see if it happens.

I spoke with Angie O. at the CC factory yesterday and she said that the new fold down steps are now standard for CC however, the old style folding steps will remain as an option.

Kyle at Couch's RV Nation informed me that he called FR and was informed that they CAN build the CC 34RL2 that we want with the old style quad-fold steps. That makes me happy and relieved. We have an RV pad between our home and fence. The new mor/Ryde stairs would hit our fence thus not being able to enter the trailer. Love the sturdiness and looks of them...just don't work for our situation.

Did a quick scan of all the previous posts in this thread and didn't any specific measurements. Anyone know what clearance is needed to deploy these steps?

If I recall they are just over 4' in length. They do have feet that can be extended out further and separately for slopping and/or unlevel ground.

You mean PITA steps
I prefer an electric elevator platform, with a back up hand crank for loss of power situations. Cannot even imagine pulling into truck area rest stops and trying to use my on board toilet. Some of those guys barrell in at 30+ mph and come within 3 feet of your damned rv. Does anyone who designs this STUFF ever travel in an RV?? No....be the correct answer. Billy Bob, near cousin of some top honcho came up with this during a BBQ and a 12 pack...he is now elevated to a Berkshire, which of course does not need this contraption.
Why not just IMPROVE on folding steps? More steps, more reinforcement, aluminum, better back plates, better, perhaps more / better bolts!!
Wait'll aunt Lulu trips on the door jamb and flies head first out the door; down those elongated steps; uuuggglllliiieee!!
Just say'n 😉🍷🍷🍷.
Too bad we don't use matchbooks with them there ads much more! I was a gonna get me one of them there "lawyer" mail in certificates 😄
Night now, ya'll hear?!

We have one on order with the folding steps. We also specified the gas/electric water heater instead of the on-demand one

(cough) Torklift Glowstep Revolution Steps (cough)
They hit on every one of your comments. Solid, don't stick way out, adjustable. The whole 9 yards.

Nice...congrats! So what is the reason for going with the gas/elec H2O heater over the on-demand? I have not researched this yet so forgive my ignorance.

Because we did read of problems some are having. Plus I wanted a gas/electric option. Always prefer the campground electric over my propane.

Dealer told me 5 feet of clearance to swing the out and set them.
