I finally got around to taking a photo of the step stoll I got with my camper from FWC when I ordered my Raven:

Yeah, from what I've seen people using, this seems to be the other popular choice, after the EZ-Fold.

Looking at photos of the EZ Fold looks like you need both hands to set it up. On mine you just grab the edge of the top step and one shake it's deployed. Allthouhg, the EZ might have a smaller storage footprint. I just store mine on the floor ahead of the refer.

Bought my two step EZ Fold at Camping World.
I'm lost, but I'm making good time.

Beer is good food. Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer. Beer is the reason I get up every afternoon. Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy. Beer is water that has reached it's full potential.

We also use the Rubbermaid folding steps, or something very similar. Bought it at WallyWorld right after picking up the camper in Feb. 09. The steps were slippery when wet so I stuck on some adhesive backed safety strips. It's basically 40 grit sandpaper.

Mine is starting to develop a crack in it.


I had the same one and it cracked too. Just replaced it with the Rubbermaid.

We've been using this. It worked great all over Baja and is very stable. If you call Northern tool tell them you saw one of their ads and it was on sale for $19.95.

Mine has little bumps molded in so it's not slippery

I wasn't seeing a good solution for us that I could easily lay my hands on, so I built a step that plugs into the receiver hitch socket. It's probably one of those 'short term' fixes that will be around for the next 20 years, but at least my wife can now easily get into the camper. By pure luck later that day I stumbled onto some rubber "diamond plate" with an adhesive backing at Harbor Freight. I was expecting to need to build some sort of anti-wobble device for it, but it's remarkably stable as-is.

Nice, ntsqd! Very clean and minimalist design. :)

Thanks!
It does suffer from only being useful in that one spot, where a step-stool could be used elsewhere. The year delayed honeymoon, now 1.5 weeks away, will no doubt show if something else is needed or not.
