don't buy this folding step

[sourdough]

I'm holding on to my beloved 2-step folding steps as long as I can, because it seems like they're no longer available.

(just a pic I found on the web to link to).
It's borne my not-light-weight for several years and fits my needs.

The current version is smaller without the intermediate step:

A step that's connected to the truck -- hitch-mounted -- or the camper would be OK, too, and might be better than my current step because it doesn't depend on the ground.
But it would only be OK --for me -- if it didn't hang down at all while driving. I don't want to have to think about, worry about, dragging something when driving over rocky/bumpy ground.

My used Hawk came with one of the above and it had a cracked lower step. Cracked more with my use, so I junked it. That's why I ended up with the one that started this post. I now know of two I wouldn't recommend.

I've had good luck with the Rubbermaid step stool. It handles my weight fine but it won't hold up to a 3/4 ton Dodge backing over it.
