Portable Stairs for 5th Wheel

I have an overweight husky who can no longer climb the stairs into the 5th wheel tried the ramps she will have nothing to do with them! I built stairs from pallets which work fine when we are permanently parked I am going to be traveling a bit to relocate out of the area we are currently in and am now trying to figure out stairs that my girl will be able to use that I can take with me Suggestions please!!! Thank you !

In researching various steps to replace my diving board steps, I came across these Sunriser brand porch-steps. They do fold down but will take a bit of set-up time ....

Have you tried a harness like this... it has a grab handle on the back, lets you help/guide the dog up the stairs ?

We installed Torklift Glowsteps on our fiver with pet guards. I along with my 110lb Chow-Rot had issues climbing the standard 3 step stairs. Installed the new 4 step Glowstep and goes up and down with no issues now. They store like your normal RV steps but are sturdier, don't bounce and you can adjust the height.

Check out Portable RV decks and steps. I have been threatening to buy them since the DW missed our steps and fell out of the 5er.
