Northstar 850 bumper steps

I'm hoping to get a used 850 NS pop up in the summer. That's just for me going fishing, My wife will stick with the junkie TT.
Anyway, I like to add the bumper with the steps on the 850. is it possible? will it be stable? I have seen some wobble steps on some of those TCs.
If not I might have to homemake a better steps and no wont get a folding ones.
thanks folks
  • Bumper

    I often thought of putting on a bumper on our Arrow, the back is the same, I think it is 3/4 or 1 inch plywood in that area near the bottom.

    They just use lag screws to attach the bumper, you could also fasten to the jack mounting areas.

    The only thing in the way is they gray water outlet, you could cut that
    area of the bumper out so it would slide past the outlet assembly.

    You might lose one screw in the row attaching the bumper.
  • NEVERMIND guys, I just saw the owners picture with his long bed truck. there is no way to put those bumpers on.
    Thanks kjencks for your feed back
  • I took mine off as they do not co-exist well with my boat trailer. If it's on the truck I use a simple walmart step stool and off the truck I put it low enough so I don't need a step.
