Although this might be a great step, I ordered mine in February, and now it's June and they still haven't shipped mine. Keep getting the email saying next month, next month. I'm about done with Lippert!
Awesome vid guys!!! I am sure this will save me a few steps. About to purchase till I got to Assist lift. I have a door close to the Assist will fit. how far away from the wall does it stick out? Might be an issue.
Replaced our original steps on our Jayco this past spring. Only a 2-stepper, but what a difference. Like Melissa, I saw them everywhere at a camper show two years ago and knew we had to have them. You really notice the difference in stability when 5 grandkids are in and out all day long. And, YES, the install was as easy as it looked. Great job!
How high is the door off of the ground? I think that would be very important information. Mine is 36 Inches so I am not sure if I should go with the 3 or 4 steps. Mine at present has the same steps you do 3 plus the top.
@@AdventureEndeavor Thanks for your reply, I did look at the chart but I don't know if the 3 steps have a maximum reach of 36''. I will call Lippert and see what they recommend. At present my fifth wheel is level and it measures 36'' so I am not sure if the 3 steps will handle that on uneven ground, which is mostly what you will find in the New Mexico mountians.
What about dirt on the steps. It seems if you don’t clean them real good you are gonna dump in your trailer. I got the 22h and step is the only thing I don’t like.
That's a good point, the back of the steps are open so a lot of the dirt just falls out. We just give them a tap/smack when lifting and they are good to go. You could also brush excess dirt off with a broom. 🙂
Awesome, thank you for sharing. How does the door close when the steps are stowed for travel and is there a difference on how the door closes when the steps are down?
Hi Angel! No issues with the door closing when stowed because the metal tab that holds them in place provides plenty of clearance. However, when setting up at camp, you do have to adjust the feet so the steps sit low enough for the door to clear. It's a minor annoyance and in one spot we did have to dig the dirt down a little but we personally feel it's worth the trade off! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for the video, I am so glad you have a Nash , the boondocking and the places where you go gives me a chance to experience the view and lifestyle. I hope in a couple of years God willing if I make it to retirement i Could travel out that way. Ps was on Northwood website and said to myself hey there's a picture of your rig so cool.
So the one thing that seems to be a possible problem with those steps is that you bring in dirt, mud, snow and ice when you put them up. Any thoughts on that? And or solutions to that problem?
Yeah that seems to be a common question. When we lift them we just give them a small tap/smack and everything falls out the back of the step. We haven't noticed any extra dirt in the rig.
Great video!!
Thanks for watching Ed we appreciate it!

That's a bummer to hear.
I think your pup appreciates this!
Yeah he totally does. He still can't do it by himself but it's easier.
👍
Thanks for watching Robert
One more thing did you have to modify the doors to get them to close properly?
We did not at all, fit perfectly.
Good video. Travel safe.
Thanks Bob.
How hard was it to attach the Hydraulic arm, my neighbors said they had a hell of a time uninstalling and reinstalling.
I thought it was pretty easy...🤷♂️ we did it while boondocking with limited tools.

Sticks out 5inches. In into the trailer. It's also about 3 in wide.
Oh wow was waiting for reply for a few days. Lol.
Thanks for quick response.
Haha I do my best to reply quickly!👍👊

YEAH. these are great. No more flex!

I believe ours was 29 inches, when you order you'll need that info. There's a chart to figure that all out. Or you can always call.

Oh gotcha I THINK that they would but better to call and be safe.
Nice work, and good idea!
Thank you. It was a fun installation.
Well done love your vids
Thanks Jeffrey we appreciate it!👍👍

Love the addition of the laugh track, it was really a step above.
Haha glad you liked it! 👍

Thank you, we really like this trailer. Also yes, that is our truck and trailer on their site, it's exciting!
Great stuff!!! My wife and I are now fans! We are looking for something similar.
Awesome! They have been good so far, very sturdy.
You guys are great!! Love the step idea.
Thanks Micki!

I would have loved to see a pun counter, would have been off the charts today! Great video!
Haha thats a great Idea, if we get another opportunity we will add that.
Solid step by step video! Excellent upgrade and hopefully much safer for Melissa 😉
Thanks! Pretty simple install, Melissa loves them!
I was going to comment about the storage box but you covered it at the end. Damn! Lmao🤣😂
Great video and I’m sure Blue (sp?) will enjoy them.
Haha yeah that box is pretty sweet! Yeah Melissa and Blue like them quite a but. Zamboni didn't mind either way.
@@AdventureEndeavor Zamboni is gorgeous! Young enough that stairs probably aren’t even necessary.
Yeah exactly, she flys right up any stairs.
