We also had a stair cover that came with our motorhome. It is covered with the same carpet as the rest of the living room. We used that with our toddler grandson but found that in warm weather when you want the door open, if they lean on the screen, it will open and allow them to tumble out. We had to just keep both doors closed as he is still (age 4)is unable to open the outside door because you have to pull up on the handle and he isn't strong enough. I guess maybe you could put a fastener high up on the screen door so it couldn't be opened by a child if you can figure out something to use on the metal framing. He also had a great interest in the drivers side and all the buttons and levers. That was a problem too. Child gate between the seats took care of that.
