It looks to me like you have the "old" style pull out, drop down step making for almost equal steps up.

Most of the time it's fine and much more preferable than a 14" step up but there have been...

I still don't have a sense how many new trailers have been equipped with the straight out step.

I agree, my replacement is the same as I had on the 19.

What I don't understand is why the "straight out, no drop" model is on a couple of showroom trailers and how I ended up with one. Not my...

Yup, and setting up on the beach in Baja cause this mod is done.

New step makes it 11" and 11", much better. There's enough new paint of it that I shouldn't see a spec of rust on it until at...

The irregular distance from the step to the ground will always be a large variable.

If I was working with someone with mobility issues I'd explore their ability to use a ramp. It might be...

Yes and yes. I'm perfectly OK with a negative view of something ETI has done that is below par but I think, in this case, that's it's unreasonable to say what ETI does is unsafe etc.

Thanks for your concern Pat. We have 188 steps down to our local river. M. runs up them and I come up 2 steps at a time. As long as we can do that I won't be looking for a two step option. Just...

I hear you too Pat, :)

My hobby is making adaptive devices for disabled people. Right now a step that drops down a bit works for us. If it didn't I'd be first to look other ways to making...

Nope, what I want and will get is a step that drops down a bit when it's pulled out.

You're right about different though. During my quick research before contacting ETI I saw that there at least...

OK, mystery solved. Nothing like getting the facts from the factory.

OK, thanks for the photo, that shows the difference. If I had that type I wouldn't be considering a 2 step unit.

Well, no sense speculating, might as well get it from the horse's mouth.

Here's the thing. It's not a matter of one step or two. It's that the single step that came on my 21 isn't the same type of single step that my 19 came with.

Negative, no high lift axle.

I know what you mean about pulling out and dropping down. That's what our 19 did.

No, this one just pulls more or less straight out like a drawer, no drop down. ...
