My only fault with installing it on the bottom step is, 'most' bottom steps are hinged a bit differently, meaning they don't have a step below it and it rotates much more freely.
Watch the video and you will actually see the lower step flex upwards when the guy steps on the 2nd step, negating the support.
My folding steps are 4 step and hang out from the R/V a good long way. (think lever)
I use a scissors jack under the 2nd step and it is way more supportive than if I place it under the 1st step. (I've tried it under every step and 2 is the best)
I don't think you could put the Lippert model on the 2nd step as the steps would not fold properly.
If you only have 2 steps, it would likely be a much different scenario.
