New Entry Steps
I finally had enough of the finger grabbing, wobbly folding entry stairs and put together these.
I bought 2 of these aluminum 3 step stringers from Home Depot

And 3 of these steps

I used a pair of these stainless steel take apart locking hinges. They are fastened to 1/4" aluminum plate that is screwed to the structure below the door.

I was fortunate that the stairs when assembled were the perfect width and height for my trailer. I will have to use some blocks underneath to account for uneven ground. My 280 pounds jumping up and down on them didn't bother them at all.
