Equipment Adaptive/Mobility · reported Jun 9, 2015
The current steps that are being used are fastened together with aluminum pop rivets. These rivets will not support a persons normal weight for a period of time. Them shear off and the step fall along with person that is on it. This is a step safety hazard. I called the company demco that makes the steps and they do have a retro kit but is only repaired when you call. Most campers do not know to call.
