stairs help

Great job on the handrail!! I wish we had that little extra step from tc.

The glow steps work fine with a hand rail. Without a hand rail some folks may have a problem with any step setup that is above 2 or 3 steps.

I custom made my handrail because I couldn't find anything that fit.

I also have the Little Giant recommended to me on this forum. LOVE IT!!! I got the four step as my threshold is waist high. Couldn't find a better picture, sorry.

I also have the little giant ladder. Was expensive to buy here in Canada but it works very well. I have the 4 step version.

I had no use for the handle so I took it off by removing the rivets.

I recommend you take a look at the little giant (jumbo) 3or 4 step ladder. I replaced my steps with one of them several years ago. They fold easy and I hang them on a rack on my ladder. They are very stable. If you PM me I'll send you a picture. If you search the net the prices vary.

We use one too...works perfect!

We went with a clone by Xtend & Climb called a Stable Step. Instead of the Little Giant 10310BA Safety Stepladder with Bar and Tray, 3-Step. It was about 20% less at a local hardware store.



The best thing about these step ladders is that the rise / run and depth of the tread are more like a normal stair. See the images on the Little Giant website. We go up and down them in ski boots during winter camping, something I'd never do with a typical scissor step.

These jumbo step ladders come in 2, 3, 4, or 5 step versions from the various companies (top stair height can be figured at 9" height per step). Another clone is provided by Space Living called a Jumbo Step. They are very stable. They fold very compactly and are light. Well worth the money.

Don't worry about the bar, or if included the tray, as these fold down if you want to enter the TC head on as shown below.

This is what we need, but probably two more steps. That way we wouldn't have to unhook the trailer from the truck. Thanks I will look at our hardware store.

We have the same dilemma, and came up with a satisfactory (for us, anyway) answer by using a diamond-plate toolbox from my old Ranger pickup. We store some of our gear (awning, swim gear, etc, nothing too heavy) in the box, which we load into the camper "doorway/hallway" when traveling. When camping, the toolbox is taken out to become a small step/porch/storage site for the camper with the addition of one or two single-step stools.

We looked at step-ladders and other ideas before re-purposing the toolbox which was just taking up space in my shop, anyway.

Why not replace the steps you have with proper ones?

I have the 24" ones and they are very solid.
