How I replaced our damaged steps
When we originally purchased our trailer the previous owner had damaged the steps leaving us using a single plastic step to access the trailer. With the short kid legs & extra 6.5" of height we gained after lifting the trailer we were now in need of at least double, and more preferably triple steps.
The install took a few hours to complete and the hardest part was the removal of the old steps. It took a lot of cutting, grinding and hammering to get them off, but it wasn't too bad. After enough beating the steps finally fell right off.
Once the steps were off, fitting the new unit was fairly easy. I jacked the new steps into place, installed temporarily with screws and then replaced the screws with lag bolts. Lastly, I screwed the steps into the trailer frame to finish it off.
I have a write-up along with a video below if interested.
