First project was to make a step to enter the camper.
This will be the only steel I should be using for the camper.
I really want all add-ons to be made from lightweight aluminum or thin stainless.
I wanted the steps to be VERY strong, so steel it was made from. It looks OK with a little Black powder coat paint.
I used expanded metal where the feet/boots would make contact to reduce the chance of slipping on those wet outings.
I also didn’t want to put the step in the camper when driving down the road. So I added an extra mounting location at 90 degrees. This 90-degree mount also places the step further off the ground. It’s kind of tucked up under the camper. I might add a Third brake light that mounts to the step when it is in the travel location. I have extra trailer lights and the trailer wiring harness is close by. The third brake light will be a little later.
It seems like their not much time to play with the camper. We have been using the camper non-stop with Dive and camping trips we have been doing.
