Oh, so that's the way it is, Larry?! You work on the stuff YOU want to work on instead of the stuff WE want you to work on?

And here I thought we were friends!

Well okay then. We just want to make sure we're getting our money's worth out of you and keep you moving forward.

You're in upstate NY, right? How come we've never met? Gotta remedy that this summer!

This is on my coach. Basically slides straight out. Motor and linkage are missing; would be nice to find a way to make it work someday.

Wow that hangs uncomfortably low.

Wow that hangs uncomfortably low.

Could be used to grade the berms that build up on the passenger side of a dirt road.

as long at is no lower than a Ragusa it should be ok

Oh, it definitely hangs lower, but it does fold up tighter to the coach.

Forum after some thinking i have decided to abandon the idea of a folding or sliding entrance step. ( BUT will help on some group project) for the following , i had installed a old cast iron carriage step before i sold it . and it worked ok for me as it was not much lower than the Ragusa . but u had to be mind full of it it . the new owner was not and it was just about removed when i repurchased it. i found a another in parts and going to reinstall it see attachment. thanks
