Hi folks. I just wanted to revive this thread because I am about to mount 5 step glow steps on my new Hawk. There are two mounting options noted above.
First, just lag with liquid nail directly into the small 1" strip of aluminum moulding below the door. For clarity, this option mounts immediately below the door. It looks like some of the existing screws that attach the moulding would have to be removed so the stair bracket would sit flush. I call it the "vertical option."
Second, mount to the black plywood base of the camper. This area is basically visible as the result of a 4" or so overhang beyond the end of the truck bed. I call it the "horizontal option."
Just want to double check on how the various mounting options have worked out before I start drilling.
Thanks!
