That distance changes allot due to various slopes we park on. Will that be an issue?

Dave

there are two, easily adjustable, legs attached to the bottom step .... they allow for using the steps and/or deck on unlevel ground .... he needs to know the distance and how you plan to attach them to camper so as to advise if a 4 or 5 step unit is best

I apologize, I did not mean for you to sell something that is not yours to sell. I am a Mechanical designer and I am constantly designing something. I would be angry if someone shared my work without permission. Thank you for pointing that out.

That is an excelent idea. We just purchased the 5er, but when money is available I think I will go after this set.

Thank you,

if you purchase the Port-A-Steps and later want to add the deck, all you need to do is buy the deck .... the steps are the same .... if/when you call Gary to place your order, know the distance from the bottom of your camper's door to the ground .... with that info he can recommend which steps would best meet your needs

when overnighting we don't set up our Port-A-Deck but may or may not use the steps .... we've found that it works better for us if we mount them on the camper's second step, instead of the top step .... the reason being if we mount it on the top step it is a bit tricky to try and stand on the small deck an open the door .... with it mounted on the second step you have a nice, very sturdy platform on which to stand when you are unlocking and opening the door

I have a set of porta steps. To me and the DW they are worth every cent. It takes about min and a half to set up and take down. Stores in front of the tail gate and behind the 5er hitch.

We have the Hoffman deck and stairs. A bit pricey but they are amazing. We bought them when my mother in law had a stroke and had difficulty getting in and out of the 5er. Now were not onsite any more and I'll have to sell them. But if I was going back to a seasonal site they would be my first choice. Sturdy and portable.

The Hoffman is the one I really wanted to get, but I couldn't manage the expense. I'm curious as to how much you're selling yours for?
