If you are prepared for it, it's really not an issue. It just takes a little time to learn the limitations of your rig and to analyze the campsite parking pad slope quickly. And to have enough lumber to accommodate any situation.
I don't disagree that the challenges of MorRyde steps can be overcome with enough effort.
However Glowsteps by Torxlift deliver the same stability without all the challenges. With GSR's there is no sweeping or wiping off. The steps stay on the exterior where they belong. They are very adjustable and can be leveled in many ways.
For me the negatives of the Mor Ryde steps outweigh the positives.
They create as many problems then they resolve
I was never really crazy about the idea of bringing exterior steps inside the RV. Now add in the fact that under the wrong circumstances you cannot close the door!I'll pass on the MorRyde steps there is a better mouse trap available

And you carry at least 4 of those? Shoot, you'll have to invest in a small trailer to carry all your extra stuff. 🙂

My only suggestion is one you've already arrived at. Put some blocks down to lift the whole coach off the ground.
Interesting thought about lifting the whole rig. Definitely could work if you carry enough blocks.
The challenge there is if the rig has a leveling system- you're more likely to run out of stroke on the legs.
And I got chastised for carrying LOTS of treated lumber in my last TT, you should see the stack of lumber I carry now for this very reason. I've had my 6 point levelers error out so many times because of extending legs to the max. Boards under tires are the only way to raise the rig so those steps will come down.
