On our trailer we have manually operated steps ( bend down and pull them out); on our motorhome we have automatic ones. With the motorhome, you can set them to stay out at the campground (a REALLY good idea) or to come out when you open the door from the outside (upon opening door they fling out...watch your shins)...all with the flick of a switch.

| No, that is not a mat it is Labrador that still needs to be cleaned off...today. |
Well the gravel/dusty/dirt road of Labrador and rain in the northeast plays havoc with the ease with which these necessities will operate. It isn't good enough to do it once per year as we have found out. We were driving down the road and noticed that they hadn't completely gone back in place...thus sticking out! So put this on your regular maintenance list. A tube of white lithium grease comes with us so we can do it on the road. There are also other products you can use for this...silicone did not work well. Be generous, make sure you do ALL moving parts for smooth operation, work it in, and wipe off excess (unlike below).

Ditto on the trailer jacks...water takes its toll on their willingness to operatore smoothly.
