Anyone using the port-a-deck steps?

[joanw2947]

I have read the previous thread about these steps and am hoping someone can tell me how they work out over time. I THINK I put an image in the photo library, but this is my first try so it may not work out. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

We have a set too! Very well made and makes getting in and out easy...even for our old dog!

We drove to Emory, Texas, (5 hours) and visited with Mr. Holley. We were able to see the deck and stairs set up and walked on them. They were very sturdy. We ordered a deck with four steps. My husband and Mr. Holley agreed that the steps alone would work just fine. It would give a nice platform to step out on and the stairs and handrail would make exiting the rv easy -- but I just had to have the deck also. Deck and stairs weigh about 100 lbs. My husband could easily pick up the heaviest of the 3 main pieces (about 40 pounds). That is the piece you would get if you just buy the steps. If you buy the steps you can add the deck later. Set up for the steps would only be a couple of minutes. Maybe 10 minutes for the deck and steps. What we liked about this product is there are not a lot of little pieces to keep up with. The website rv-co.com does an accurate job of describing the product and gives pricing. There is a video that shows Mr. Holley setting up the steps. Thanks for the replies to my post.

These steps look excellent. I researched them last year, and was ready to buy until I got the price. I have no doubts but what they are excellant.

We purchased this item late last year for the 5th wheel that we travel in, they are AWESOME!!! We are very pleased with the quality and even more impressed with the stability they provide. We are so pleased with them that we are considering purchasing a second set for our other 5th wheel that is located on a permanent site that we own.

After looking at these and two other products aimed at RVs, I decided to build my own out of wood. Takes a little more time to setup and is heavier to carry. But it works great

The cost was a half day of work and $300 in materials.
