I don't think ins situations where it's raining and muddy steps it's the most practical.

I don't clean mine off. No need to anything that on them simply flips off when I fold them up. Because they are outside they do not bring debris inside.
If it is raining there is more of an issue. Step will be wet and need to be dried off. Otherwise the water will be carried into the trailer with the steps.
Do you store anything just inside the door? A cooler, or something that comes out upon arrival? The flip up steps will block the doorway and prohibit you from using the last minute storage space.
The steps are very stable but I don't think they are very well thought out in terms of function. I prefer the steps to remain outside at all times. Bringing them inside is deal breaker.

Personally I am very happy with this configuration. MORryde makes quality products but this has too many negatives.

Just wanted you guys to know that they are a go9d product, easy to install and we are happy with them.

All the best folks!

The issue I have with them is they store inside the RV.
If they are wet or dirty they will need to be cleaned off. Debris,pollen,leaves and stuff will just fall on open steps.
At some point step will be pulled in and all that stuff will come with it. The steps are like a big scoop that dumps stuff inside.
Honestly it may not be as bad as I'm making it, but you will have to make some effort to clean or dry steps before bring them in.
The stability part I like. The storing steps inside part I do not like.

I seen quite a few of these at the camper show this past winter at the rv show. They are awesome when they are deployed but that's about it for me. In my rv garage I would have clearance issues not to mention I feel I would have to clean thoroughly before storing. Definitely some trade offs made for an awesome set of steps.

Those are on my list of wants. Need to verify my door size. Can't stand the squeaky spongy metal steps. We don't do rest stops or truck stops and we don't camp in the mud. We have a rug that we clamp to the steps to keep them and clean it helps keep the dust and dirt out of the 5er.

Those are much-talked-about over on the Grand Design site. For us, we often park with semis at rest stops or truck stops and can't afford the clearance issues of swinging those out or leaving them out as trucks pull in and out next to us.

Guessing it's these. Not really a fan of having to store wet or muddy steps inside, but it might be just me.
