What kind of steps ?

Hello all
My Lance TC came with accordion style steps ( Brophy ) like. It seems they are only good for when the camper is on the truck, they don't seem to level out when I lower the camper or when it's off the truck ( 24" ). I do have the Torklift style on my 5r which has three different positions for leveling, but the difference with the TC being on the truck vs off is quite a bit.
I'm just curious what everyone else is doing or if there are a different set of steps out there ?
Thanks in advance for all your input!!

Glow steps are a step above Brophy, same idea but everything is doubled up so they are much sturdier and stronger. you can get rail set ups for them also.

I carry a folding step about 10” tall. When the camper is off the truck I leave the glo-steps folded up and use the portable step.

I missed the off the truck part, sorry about that. I have a wooden two step built that I just set behind the camper when it is off the truck as the glowsteps are to long for when it is that low.
