Went to a camper show last week and saw some campers with the fold up steps. The LCI Solidstep looked looked ruggeder to me. Ordered from Autoplicity last Sunday and delivered yesterday. Just need a warm day to install. Price was $381.54 shipped to my door.

If you haven't purchased yet, you may want to consider the cleanup when you store them dirty; especially after rain and mud. I considered those steps, but that was a deal breaker for me. I opted for GloSteps and couldn't be more satisfied.

Something else to consider with either brand.

With the steps stowed, and the trailer on jacks, my wife does not have the reach and upper body strength to open the door.

We had a landmark ordered before the DRV and the the Landmarks have friction hinges on the door. Even un-latched she could not open the door if the steps were stowed.

She/we are getting the electric steps. I know there has been a problem or two with them, but we opted for them anyway.

The standard steps being installed on DRV's are not without their problems.

I have Muscular Dystrophy, wear 2 knee/leg braces in order to walk without falling, and also have learned to wear 2 knee pads, because I still occasionally fall. DRV steps did not work for me; too high on the first step, and uneven on the rest. I found that Glow Steps work best for me and would recommend them to anyone, especially handicapped.

Was never a fan of the scissors style steps, but this version seems to be very popular.

And it is very adjustable,
Standard is 3 steps, but you can easily add at least 3 more. It is possible to make a very short rise with this item.

Whatever works; everyone has a preference. I’m happy those work for you.

I was referring to the steps you have.

One of the features is the ability to add extra steps for either higher entry heights or to decrease the rise between steps.
