Scissor steps

Question

I have a set of scissor steps that as of now I remove before I travel and store inside. Not a huge deal but for storage reasons I think it would be nice to have them permanently mounted.  My question is will they travel this way with out them falling down or more importantly will they cause damage to the camper structure as they bounce going down the road. I was concerned that the mounting screws would pull out of the frame. I was even thinking about using a nylon strap with the plastic clips kind of like on a book bag to secure or wrap around them during transit. Thanks for the help.

Also being a Lance815 owner the floor is 2 inches thick and when I use to have  scissor steps the mounting fixture was bolted through the floor. Got rid of them years ago after they twist while my wife was climbing them, she near fell off of them . I have found that a simple fold out step ladder works best for this model of Lance. I simplity strap the step ladder to the roof access ladder, it's out of the way and causes no damage to the camper.

I bungee my Glow Steps to my ball hitch, when were traveling/ camping. The hitch extension I have puts the trailer ball right under the attaching point of the steps to the camper’s bumper.
