Bubble Boy have you ever thought about going to an RV Salvage yard
to look for some used steps and operational gear? I was just
thinking about your problem and this could be a fair and reasonable
way to get your steps up and working. We have one large RV Recycling
yard that I know of up here in Washington and that one I think is in
Rochester. Well anyway just a thought as I know if your like me than
money doesn't grow on trees. Jon
