New Torklift Stow N' Go
Did anybody install it? I would like to add it to my steps, but looking at the pictures it makes first step about 3" below floor platform. That makes no sense and I wonder if that can be rearranged ...

Here is my set. Probably not final, as I can see few points that can use improvement, but working for now.

Camper is dry, so sitting higer, therefore steps slope backwards, what will adjust when loaded.
The main problem dogs had was lack of platform to jump the 12" at the door. Now they have wide platform to jump up and down.

The design left 2" gap, what I think I will fill up by buying long 1/4" rod between hinges and sliding pipe on it in the center.

Torklift needs to hire someone who can read tape measure.
I don't like the design where steps hinge on machine thread, so will look for bolts with smooth part (and proper length)

For the times when I just need to get something from camper, I like to pull myself on the bumper, so using folded steps as platform would be very helpful.
I put my 210 lb on it and it holds, but everything flex, leaving unsecured feeling. Main issue is that the Stow N'Go bracket has bottom of it hanging with no support. In my case the rubber bumper rest at very bottom on original step bracket, but I think adding hard rubber or even wood block under the bracket will stiffen everything up. Same with supporting lower steps in folded position.
