I need to put in 2 steps

I have a lifted 21c and the steps is too high, are there any suggestions on what to get and perhaps how to install 2 steps?

We’ve been carrying a fully adjustable, portable, large platform step for nearly 20 years. Worked perfectly with our lifted 5.0.

We’re camping and my laptop is out away, but perhaps someone will post a link to one before we get home Sunday.

Enjoy,

Perry

With a lifted 21 you might need 3 steps.

Installing a proper 2 or 3 step that folds (with even proportions between the steps) is almost impossible with the curve of the body under the door.

I did a 2 step with even spacing but took more work and welding than the average person wants to do.

Maybe look at the step they are using in the new 23.

That's one feature of the 23 that I'm not crazy about. I go in and out of the trailer and open and close the door a lot. Opening the door and having to swing the steps out and down wouldn't be something that I'd want. But like a lot of things maybe it's just something a person would get used to.

To clarify - do you have the double entry steps already installed?
