I've got a 5-step version and no one has fallen off of them. I think it's because they look kind of flimsy (but are not) and that's enough visual warning to not take them lightly. Plus, there's a handhold by the camper door.

Sure beats standing on a plastic milk crate, then the trailer tongue, then hopping up into the camper! I'd buy them again. Maybe I'll spray them with that non-skid paint as an earlier poster has done. Good idea.

Having big feet, I guess for me it would be easier to be able to put part of my foot under the next step up. Thanks for the pictures and graph.
