Thanks for the info.
It's the 'RV step' that causes the added pain.
I'll just add that after I went full time I became almost totally incapable of walking from going in and out of the MH. That RV step is just short of you being able to put your foot down straight and that added little twist you have to do every time you exit the RV is what wrecked both of my knees. I actually thought I would have to have surgery and come off the road of RV'ing.
I bought a plastic light weight step stool from Ace that fits 'perfectly' up against any RV where the door is. When parked at a CG I add 2 cinder blocks up against the step stool. I use this combo instead of the RV step and ahhhh walking out the door finally felt just like at home.
Makes a HUGE difference how you can just walk out of the RV normally. Within 2 days my knees went back to normal.
