I have been trying to find the EZ fold plastic step stool for about a week now with only marginal luck... it's the one everyone uses. EZ fold, 18 inch folding step stool, cream or white..I have only been able to find 9 or 12 inch models..(did find one an 18 incher in London)

anyone made a recent purchase of one of these?? panic on the streets of london! leaving for San Ignacio in one week!!

Thanks all respected Wanderers!

It's not plastic,but I use a nice metal one from our local OSH store.This stool has held up nicely and folds nice and flat.It's white with black plastic treads. It fits just under the rear of the camper and stores easily in the back of the camper next to the couch.
Hope this helps.

TT this is the stool I use . The brand is Cosco,I think it's about $15. I had to modify mine to fit under my other truck camper arrangement. It was about an inch to high so the door would hit sometimes.

Have fun in Baja.

Seems odd that the one I got -- the one that a lot of people have -- isn't available:

When this was last discussed I posted a link to one at Camping World, but now that link says, "No longer available for sale...". And now when I search for EZ Fold the hits are all smaller single-steps (as TT said) rather than this two-stepper. Very odd. Posted Image

Maybe there were too many step-related lawsuits and they were discontinued...

Mine is starting to develop a crack in it. If it's now irreplaceable I guess I better try to fix/baby the one I have. Posted Image

I wonder if they've already become collectors items on eBay?

I may have left ours behind on our last camping trip. Not the first time. Kind of like the problem Simimike had with latching his camper top before driving off.

Anyway, went to Camping world last weekend and couldn't find one. As MarkBC mentioned, it has been discontinued. However, they were able to find one last one in the warehouse. So it may be worth asking at least. Otherwise, just follow us around and I'll probably forget it in camp again and you can snag it.
