Not knowing your age, will you be able to still comfortably climb steps in 10 years (assuming you keep the camper that long and still using it).
This is one of the main reason why we stayed with a "single level" camper all these year. And now that I've just had 4 really bad years with bad knees, and then finally knee replacement this last Summer, the choice for less steps was a very RIGHT one (for us) anyway.
Hey, it's just something to "think" about seriously before making the switch! Older age and steps don't mix very well.
Now that the knee doesn't have the pain any more, just stiffness, those steps are much more friendly now.
