Looks nice Bob. You leveling tool is well done. Is it aluminum too?
I recently added a quick attach and detach handrail to my steps. It folds up and is held in place while traveling with the weight of the folded steps. It doesn't make the steps any more stable but it really helps to have a handrail one one side.
There are previous posts on this subject. My leg was rather badly injured several years ago with scissor steps. I had some fixed steps fabricated, but they were a pain to transport.
At the suggestion of a fellow forum member here, I bought a Little Jumbo Four Step ladder with which we have been extremely pleased.
We thought the Little Jumbo stairs would be perfect for our basement camper on a 4x4, because the stair treads are deep and don't overlap (8" rise and run, 300 lbs capacity), so you can walk up and down them with ease. The 3 step version goes on the internet for ~$140.
We got a 3 step clone of this ladder for ~$105 at Orchard Supply Hardware. It was called a "Stable Step", model MT-3B, by "Xtend & Climb". Distributed by Core-Distributions, Inc. - imports, of Minneapolis, MN.
They have 2, 3 and 4 steps versions that can be found on the Net
The handle folds up and down. We use it down, when straight in front of the door, up when it is sideways to the door when towing or accessing the propane compartment when changing bottles. It stores folded up in the shower, held in place by one of those spring loaded curtain rods.
