Be careful

I would like to post this as a warning for EVER ONE to be careful. Winter Texans and Snowbirds will or are heading home and those cold bound will be getting out the campers for the warm weather. Watch out when going up or down the steps and use the hand rails. I can tell you first hand about this. I know it won't happen to me but when least expected IT HAPPENS. Down the steps you go and hopefully nothing is hurt to bad. I have heard of this happening to different ones from all makes of units. Broken leg,arm,wrist,and the list can go on. Just be careful.

It happened to me a few weeks ago. I started down the steps and when I stopped I was looking at the sky. Fortunately, the only thing bruised was my behind . . . and my ego.

My sister fell out of ours last year and broke 5 ribs. I have fallen out also, these steps are dangerous and should require a rework of some kind...

Well, I almost fell, so now I exit backwards holding on to the rail.

I made a set of wooden steps. They come apart and lay in the truck bed.
