Wonky Stairs? How did you fix yours?

2001 Workhorse Adventurer 35U



If you can tell by the photo, my entry stairs just seem to sag to the left from the mounting point.


They are not loose, just flex when you walk on them.


If you have improved them / repaired upgraded a reply is appreciated ~


Thanks!

Is this a new coach for you??
Some flexing is going to happen of course. I can't see anything by the picture.
I just went out and stepped on mine and they did not flex much.
I am thinking the only way to too beef the step up would be to weld some metal straps under the steps vertically.
Some others may have other ideas.

hey edge,

I've had it about 5+ years now.

I corrected it to say they sag in the picture (to the left)

I've crawled up under and everything is tight so the weight on the stairs is flexing something

Have you had someone step on it while you look??
I'm betting something needs beefed up if you don't see anything loose.

EDIT:: Oh, oh. I understand now that I reread. Sorry.
Maybe it's been that way all this time and now you just notice it. I've done that on a few things. How far off is it from side to side?
Forget what I said about having someone step on it
I'm not sure I would have an answer except having to drill a hole and moving the bolt to level it. All depends on how much distance for the new hole is available to drill into after measuring how much you would have to move the bolt.
Are the steps level?? Maybe the coach angle is off. I can't think of anything else.

EDIT again: What is that hanging down in the middle of steps? Maybe the arm that retracts and extends the steps. I don'dt have that on mine.

I had the same issue. The base plate required welding. Until it is done use a step stabilizer when the step is out.

Disassemble / remove the unit ....... might I find a broken weld if it is the same problem as yours or did you add some welds to beef it up?

Thanks Casey!!

Agree with this one. Broken weld possible. Look closely.
