Extra entry step

There are some sites that we could use an extra step to get into the trailer. I have seen the adjustable aluminum one but is very costly. Has anybody built there own that breaks down for hauling? I thought about maybe using one of the exercise steps that you can add too for different heights and in even ground. Thanks Michael

Picked up an exercise step at thrift store for couple of dollars..it has inserts to make it higher..lightweight and works great. Stores in basement or just inside the entry door when we travel.

I built one from wood that doesn't fold up but stores just inside the door. The key is to have the legs at the outer most areas of the step. don't want it to easily tip over.

We use an exercise step. It is long and wide and can be made shorter or taller. It is also plastic and light weight. It has worked great for several years.
