NEW STAIRS FOR OUR TRAILER

So, here we go again with stairs.   It seems that RV manufacturers are no different than boat builders.  They want to save room so they make short steep stairways, which don't serve my short little arthritic legs very well. 


Dan and I already went through this and modified Dwight's trailer before he bought it.  In this trailer they made the 28 inch transition from the upper part of the trailer to the lower part with two very steep steps. 


So Dan and Dwight pulled them out and replaced them for me.  In the process they discovered that there was vinyl flooring under most of the carpet around the entrance door, so they were also able to remove all of that and give me a much larger vinyl area around the entrance.  


So now I have three very deep wide large sturdy steps to transition down.  Now all we need to add is a  good sturdy hand rail.  As the older we get the more we are going to need these safety features. . 


I am very, very pleased with the results.  




  THANKS GUYS.  A JOB WELL DONE
