Dan, you mentioned your camper sits too close to the barn wall to use these steps. I checked and our 3 step unit would have to have 43" space to not hit anything. We have the new model steps with the legs that slide in on the back side. Should you purchase the old style steps, you would need to pull the pins and remove the legs to get that same 43".
Dan, you are right in that with the steps properly mounted with the seven screws and both legs flat on the ground, they are rock solid.
If you were to have 43" or more and decide to get them, it possibly be best if you pulled the leg pins, slide the legs out, and sit the bottom of it on a block of wood to gain the rock solid effect. The instructions mention that you can't put any weight on them without the bottom being properly supported. As far as the dirt, they also recommend that the steps be brushed off just before stowing them
