My scissor steps are not parallel when extended. If I extend them so the middle step is level, the upper slants down away from the camper while the lower one slants back the other way. I always though...
Might want to look at this older thread. Ours are parallel, or more accurately to each other, when over extended they all lean nose down away from camper, if under extended, nose up. If older steps could be worn bushings or holes.
