We'll give this one more try, cut into tiny bites.
Now you've done it! You ask for opinions on steps solutions: here's a chapter in my research. Our Lance Lite 8.5 foot, 165-s extended cab (N-S-bed) came with some narrow and rather rickety, 4 tread aluminum steps that hung on hangers bolted through the wooden lower frame of the camper. They were manufactured by step-up products. They are now 20 years old and are showing their age. A short cut in the production process was the use of ferrous rivets instead of aluminum fasteners. I added the (4) aluminum strips to lengthen the overall drop. These were bolted to the rear bracket with no easy way to have them walk away in the night.
