A simple drop down support on the OEM steps will work very similarly without a huge expenditure of green stuff.
I changed out my OEM three step to a QuadraStep 4 step. Makes getting in so much easier. These tall trailers need 4 steps as OEM. Peggy didn't think they would make that much difference...until the first time she used them, instant convert.

Yeah, I think I'll give that a big pass. One more thing to mess with, and fix when it messes up.

I loved it (just kidding but it was funny) when I say a couple at a rest stop with the Mor Ryde solid steps out for a rest break. A moving truck semi came in beside them. They could not put the steps in due to the clearance needed.
I'm passing on those, too.
They should make them with a split in them similar to pull-down attic stairs then tight spots (including storage areas) may not be as problematic. But then I guess they probably would be as stable or light.

The trailers are close enough there wouldn't be enough room to lower the steps. They look like a good idea, but I'm not sure the execution will work at all times.

I have my 5th wheel in a storage bldg and the More Ryde would not have allowed me to put the steps out while in the bldg. but the Revolution telescopes and gives me access even when I am not centered in the bldg....
