Has anyone- Swtiched out steps

That's a huge issue for me. But also almost as large is the swing space required. You can't deploy the steps in tight areas (truck stops, rest areas, etc.).

This is, admittedly, a drawback.

I had this happen once, but never in a truck stop or rest area, as I have never found those places to be too tight. In our storage lot, the guy in the space next to us parked his boat way too close to our rig, and we were unable to get the steps down due to the pontoon. Fortunately, we were leaving on a trip and were pulling it out anyway.

Also, once they are deployed and on the ground, they don't stick out much farther than the fold-out steps. The problem can be, because they swing down as one piece, they take up some real estate next to the trailer until they are down on the ground.

Again, we will never have another rig without them, so to us, the positives outweigh the negatives.
