stairs help
We have scissors stairs but our truck is too high up for them. I was thinking step stool but didn't take into account the handle thing at the back. Last time out we used a couple of cinder blocks...

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.
