All of this reply are my exact thoughts. My sisters 5er has them and the 2 cons mentioned are all I’ve seen. They put a door rug right up to edge of doorway to catch any dirt and just shake it outside when next setup. My BIL elderly father often goes with them and he can get up/don them fine. I think he would have trouble with older style steps. Also, they have to position 5er just right in RV shed or steps will hit vertical pole when opening,
