I did the same as DOWNTHEROAD except i got the high dollar one from CW..
(dumb me)
This is must have thing for us in our off-road camping. This one is super strong built and you can really stomp your boots on it and not bring as much leaves and woods trash. This stows right in hallway where we open our outside door so makes it easy to pull out and use first thing when we setup...
Mine sets on the ground for the most part folded up... That first step is the one that is a higher step with my OFF-ROAD trailer using the 15-inch wheels.
As you can see we have a pretty high first step on our setup...
