Looking for something creative, thanks...have step stool and grab bars and advice not to use. But still thinking about it..

I can get up to the cabover bed just fine, but have problems coming down. Facing toward back of RV leaves me with nothing to hold onto. Facing toward front has my feet hunting for the ladder. I just sleep downstairs. Safer that way.
My problem also. I didn't consider floor plan, or physical capabilities, before I bought.
The Winnebago ladder is rather narrow and lightweight. The steps kill bare feet at night. Some people have made wide wooden steps to fit on top of the rubber/plastic ones on the ladder, others have used lambswool seat belt covers on the steps to make it easier on the feet. I searched high and low for library ladder kits but they are pricey, although one could be cut down and modified to replace the existing one. Born Free has a nice ladder, but they told me, rather rudely, that I had to own a Born Free to buy parts from them.
