Lyle..easy way is to just google rv.net photo posting. It will direct you to the site, and you just need to follow directions to add your photo. It will do all else for you sizing etc. Copy what they show, and paste in your post.

I keep the photo post book marked, so always ready when needed.

So far, I still haven't got an answer to my initial question. Has anyone replaced the stupid solid steps with OLD SCHOOL UNDER BODY folding steps?

Our 2018 Cardinal has the new style Moryde steps. I wanted to replace them with the folding aluminum old style step. The camper does have the brackets needed, but they are about 1" to narrow to install the same width steps as the Moryde steps. so the brackets would have to be moved or go to a much narrower step. For now I have abandoned the idea.

Yes, the wider steps are nice, but the fact still remains that I would not be able to, like thousands of others, access my rig in my current storage (that I paid to build) without hooking it up, pulling up the jacks and pulling it forward 25' so the d@mn steps could go down so I could get in. For virtually ALL mfrs to jump on these stupid steps so hard, without even offering them as optional for the first couple of years, tells me that whoever they're buying them from must have been virtually giving them away for a year or two to get everyone to change literally overnight. The ONLY way that would even make them tolerable, to me, would be if they'd make a version that telescoped down to a shorter length to avoid the issue of not being able to deploy them while in storage.

I did see a set yesterday, that looks like it would help, not cure, with one issue, and that's dumping water and trash inside when you stow the steps. I =think= they were MorRide, but not 100% sure. The steps actually flipped over so you can dump them outside, and it also makes the steps slightly more "shallow" when stowed. Still have the major issue of them being too long to deploy in storage.

Cleaning the Mor-Ryde steps is no big deal. Neither is adjusting them. And they are solid when deployed. No bounce.
The only issue I see with them is deploying them in a tight space. Since we full time, we are never in a space that tight.

This was my problem as well. Torklift GlowSteps fixed it.
