Kwikee electric steps
How do I fix sagging steps on a Suncruiser motorhome? The outside bolts have pulled the metal plate down and the steps give when they are used.

I found a nice metal plate above my 2 step welded to the frame. But the bolts holding the steps to that plate had rusted out. Replacing them stopped the sag.
In your case, perhaps that plate needs to be re-welded to the frame?
Also how rusty was the mount plate?
My entire undercarriage was covered in rust. But there weren't any rust throughs on that plate. The holes were still usable. The welds were still fine. If needed I would have painted it with Jasco Rust Restorative but it wasn't that bad. The bolts were all rusted out though so put in all new ones. My Bounder had a mud flap just ahead of the steps so they and the step assembly stayed relatively clean when traveling.
