Needing an extra step

We finally have the trailer in the driveway and I realize the bottom step is a little high for me. When we went to see it at the other person's house it was parked next to a curb so I didn't realize the space. Is there a way to add a step to the bottom step that will still fold up. I have been using a little step stool at the bottom but I would rather it be all one. Any ideas??

    Best and cheapest I've seen is the the aerobic step that you can get in the exercise section at Walmart. It is very solid, wide, adjustable, and cheaper than bought "RV" steps.

    I just made a base with a 2x6 and a piece of 3/4" plywood.I carpeted the top with indoor/outdoor carpet.

    I use the portable step, right now I'm 3 inchs high on the passenger side, but what happens if you get to a place where you need to raise the drivers side with the extended set of step it may not even open all the way out ?

    Do you know if I can just add a step to the existing steps or do I need to buy the three step one?
