She does not like the idea of picking up the scissor steps to take them off, finding a place to store them and then picking them up to put them back on every time she wants in the camper while traveling. She also thinks that they heavy, dirty and can pinch your fingers.

I know what you mean, but we never remove our Glowsteps. We travel with them in the up and contracted position. I know Torklift doesn't recommend it but we haven't had any issues for the two years we've owned ours. If you click on my blog link and look at the title pic you'll see how we travel. This probably won't work for your side entry, though.

But it would be difficult to have those steps hanging off the side of his rig. He is already going to be right at 8' wide. It would also seem a good way to ripe the steps off the side.

A suggestion since you don't have the flatbed built yet. Could you raise the flatbed another 4" and add a compartment side to side right at the door and have a set of slide out steps made to fit into it like the Snow River campers use to have built right into the camper. They would be mounted in the compartment so just slide them out and they would be ready to be used. This would also give you a small 4" deep storage compartments under the camper for the rest of the camper.

ON EDIT: I just looked at links you posted and I see that there is one that has the steps slide out of the bed like I was thinking :S
