abslayer,
Quite similar to our step setup except in the 4 rear porches I've made, the porch itself varies from 22' to 24' wide behind the TC and the L to R size varies from 4' to 8' and are carpeted which further cleans shoes. Two of my builds have the flip up step off the porch to the ground in the rear like yours but no second step that lays on the ground and one has the flip up steps on the passenger's side only to the ground as in side mounted. One has the ability to have the lower step to the ground either in the rear or on the side so we can pull our boat or the enclosed vee nosed trailer behind and not have to deal with the trailer's tongue being in the way.
None of my porches are permanently attached to the TC as they use the truck's receiver extension and with L & R cables from the TC electric jack mounting plates to the ends of the porch which makes the porch feel rock solid and plenty of strength to handle the attached trailer tongue weight up to 500 lbs. My proches are very strong and yet reasonably light in weight. They are engineered to meet many criterias.
Why 4 different porch setups? Because we have had 8 different TC's and the porches can also be used without a TC on the truck. Also, some TC's have the rear door in the center L to R and some have it offest. The porches have a good sized lockable storage box on the driver's side with a sun proof Formica top which serves as a table. Next to the box is room for our Honda EU2000 generator to be cabled down to as some of our TC's did not have built in generators. We like being universal in designs and sectional in the build so we can pick and choose to use the best interchangeable combo for the task at hand.
