All well and good. Problem is, I have no bumper / step. I'm like Whizbang but my TC overhangs the rear a bit. I have about 2" below the door sill and thats it. and it's camper body (Filon), not steel. I think my answer will be a Little Giant folding ladder but I have no idea where to get one...
I thought you were looking at stairs. There are less expensive scissor steps than Torklift but mounting is similar. But if a step ladder works, certainly less expensive.
Intent of first response was mounting option - to your wall. Many campers do not have rear bumper and steps are mounted directly to wall. Assuming there was some kind of structure under door, splitting bracket gets you out from under door if you don't have height, bracket's 1 1/4" wide.
The purpose of my OP was to garner information from actual users and then be able to make an informed decision as to which way to go. One great thing about forums like this is the knowledge base.
No point in my trying to re-invent the wheel, others already have the first hand experience.
Makes my search easier, less painful and less expensive to boot. I sure as heck don't want to have a failed attempt at mounting an entry system and then have holes in my camper skin. That certainly isn't a good thing.
If I was young and spry, the wooden stepladder I was using would be fine (other than carrying it) but I'm not and neither is my wife so we need something stable and safe.
