I agree ... BUT are you willing to share the plans first? I really like how you did that.
A friend of ours was coming out of there 5th wheel and missed the handle and fell from the top step. Shattered her wrist and gave her a concusion. I worry about my wife all the time because she is accident prone. That is why I am looking.

He charged $25 for the plans, which I think was quite reasonable. It would be immoral of me to reproduce the plans without compensating the inventor. He's a really nice guy, and can make a drawing for any height or number of steps you require.
The deck section I made myself (as you can tell from the slightly less elegant construction). I'm happy to share the details of that item.
I like the Port-A-Deck that JEBar linked to, but I don't have $1,200.00 laying around that I don't need. :)
I'm thinking of adding a railing next.
understood on the cost .... ours cost $1,050 which included the deck, steps, and shipping from Texas to NC .... the wooden steps really look nice and I have no doubt they are solid .... how have you found it best to shim them when they are placed on ground which isn't level .... is the lumber pressure treated to handle moisture
