Wow, nice rear end d2! Did you also add the folding steps on the back of the camper yourself? Where did you get them?

Extremely strong and I like how it is flush with the bumper step making a nice big step.
It funny. This came with my used Hawk and the guy who gave it to me had it custom made for his Ford and it didn't sit flush with the step on his Ford. I guess the welder must have drove a GMC

Thanks Wetcoast. The steps were an option we ordered with the Grandby build. You can find them on the pricing sheet as rear wall steps.

Harbor freight sells a hitch extension with a built in step. I got one and it works great and it was only about $30.
Could you please post a picture of it?

We have a simple $75 hitch cargo rack that is a perfect step height for us and the dogs plus soggy wetsuit storage!ImageUploadedByWander The West1455725164.898813.jpg

That is a great idea, I never thought of using the rack as a step. I was going to buy one as well for gear only, but now I may use it as a step now.

Bosque Bill had his Brophy modified to improve it. http://bosquebill.bl...dification.html

It looks exactly the same. The guy I bough the Hawk from said he had it custom made. I'll have to take a closer look at it. :-)
My neighbour is a welder, I appreciate the pic of the mod. Maybe I'll do that some day.

I haven't had mine modified. Bosque Bill is correct in that the bottom step gets in the way and eats shins. I've backed into a couple of parking spots where the landscaping was elevated above curb height and dug up some earth.
I am seeing a welder in a couple of weeks to modify my factory aluminum roof rack to support another solar panel, I've printed out several of Bill's photos to see if the welder can modify the steps, also.
Brophy is in the Portland Oregon area. I called them about making that mod but they were not interested.
