Does anyone know the brand of the 3-step entry steps on a Flagstaff (Forest River)---and where to get a replacement "rivet" for the one that snapped in half on the top step?

Thanks,

Stromberg-Carlson makes a direct replacement 4-step. Did it to mine and it worked great.

thanks all--I'll do the bolt with a couple of fender washers for space/sliding application.

Have a Great Turkey Day!

Replace the rivet with a nylock nut and bolt so that you don't have to make it tight but it will be loose enough to allow movement.

The steps are all very much the same size.
I've never seen any replacement parts, flamingstar fixed his with a bolt, I fixed mine with a chunk of angle-stock and my welder.

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.

More than likely kwikee. But either should fit.

Either a Kwikee step or Stromberg-Carlson

Sorry but no. Unless someone does know I would look for Forest River online and call corporate.
