How to mount stairs to old Lance?

Thank you for the replies!

Hi-Our 2014 Lance 865 is a bit different than your camper, but here is what we did. The steps that came with our camper were too short when the camper is on the truck. We tried a portable ladder but we boondock a lot and they never seemed stable enough. I removed the stock, folding two-step configuration and added a folding four-step unit to the camper. I bolted it thought the threshold and the floor of the camper. When not in use, it is held out of the way by a chain. Your camper does not have an alcove for steps like our camper does but perhaps something similar might work for you.

Get a decent sized plate of aluminum and bend the edge over. Mount it to the bottom side of the camper with the bent edge hanging down (or maybe just set the camper down onto it when you load up). Attach the stairs to the bent over edge.

At the moment all I have is this side angle shot. I will get better pictures tomorrow.

Do you have a picture of the mounting situation?

The standard mounting strip of the glow steps doesn't need a lot of space (maybe 1 1/2 inches), but you will need to install/remove the steps every time you set up camp. But if the wood under your door is solid enough...?

Something like a Little Giant ladder might be a simpler solution.

I am sure others will chime in.
