6ft carpet runner. Velcro to top step then bungie between at each existing step. Holds carpet snug,dogs don't see thru,helps cut down on dirt in camper and is removable to either sweep shake or vacuum. Have been doing this for years as we're afraid dogs would slip a leg between steps and get hurt.
This is what I did, too. My Cattle Dog had cataracts and was clumsy on the steps - the runner kept him from falling through the gaps.
In my case, it was a strip of astroturf clamped to the top and bottom steps; and pieces of threaded rod laid between the scissors joint on each side kept the dropped back in place.
