In the photo, I’m on a slope, with a 3” leveler under the tire on the door side. On level ground, it’s 7” up then another 11-12 inches up. Not equidistant. :(

So I have to seek out sites with a 3”...

That is most interesting, and opens up a plethora of questions. Can it adapt to a variety of slopes while keeping the stair rise at 8.0”? Will the company work with you to get it adapted to an...

When parked at home, it’s at nearly equidistant between steps. About a Hoosier 11.0”/11.0”, (+/- 1.0”).

Yep, my at home pad is sloped, and I have an Anderson clone leveler/ramp, elevating the...

Drop down step

The step on mine drops down when pulled out. Seems like that one, the drop down, would be best on a high-rise build option.

Then the straight-out, step option seems like (to me) it would be best...

Spa Steps

Spa steps keep coming up, and look like a good alternative.

Plus they’ll make an excellent platform to trim toenails.

That might be a solution. We love our Escape, but had lots of good memories with our Casita. It didn’t have the high-rise option. Seems like the steps were gentle, and not noticeably uneven. Maybe...

Your straight out step is the one I prefer... if it is closer to the trailer floor, that is, because the long distance to the ground can be intervened with a short, adjustable step stool. I think....

Very nice. I really like that at the steps are all pretty even in rise. It would be a nice build sheet option. Or standard equipment.

7” (down) to the first step from the floor is perfect. Even if only one-step is attached, the remaining 11-1/2” to the ground possibly could be provided with an adjustable step-stool. As was...

It’s however deep the bottom of the cliff is, plus the height to the 1st step. ;D

I’ve many times stepped up into the trailer without pulling the steps out. Mostly step in between the gap, above where the rod goes across. It’s about a 10” drop from the floor. More equidistant than...

You shouldn’t have to correct the steps. The trailer maker should be responsible for having proper, safe, non-hazardous, and non-precarious steps.

If your contractor puts hazardous steps,...

Stepping down, is for me, more hazardous. Especially in the dark. My 1st step is almost a jump down. Then the second step is low; surprising, stumbling almost. It’s easier walking up, but still, it...

Me neither. No additional purchases should have to be made. Proper and safe steps for the elderly, should come already on the trailer. As standard. Not hazardous, precarious steps.

Anyone would or should find it uncomfortable to climb dissimilar height steps. Age and disability makes it even worse, me thinks.

My 6 month old E21 steps are the opposite of Ron’s; mine being 7”...
