Adding steps to a Class C RV

I currently have a 2013 Coachman Leprechaun 319DS which is supposed to have the integrated "step" built into the body/frame of the vehicle. Although it is a bit lower than earlier models, it's still a bit of a reach for my wife with an arthritic hip to step up into the RV.
I was wondering if anyone ever added an additional step to their coach to make it easier to get in/out of? Not looking to add an electric step, just a manual 20-24" step and I haven't looked under the coach for bracing points, etc.
The coach is still under warranty and I don't want to run the risk of voiding that either.
Thank you in advance for any information or guidance.

I would go back to your dealer and to Coachmen to find out what happened here. The documentation on the website includes a feature "Integrated Drop-Down Entry Step" and it doesn't sound like you have that on your RV. With the position of the door I can understand the step being too high based on the ride height of the chassis.
