Was wondering if the electric would work on our units, I miss having that from the MH. Any info yet on when/where we can order them? Would be so much nicer to deal with including a 'no bounce' step system. Curious, what is the "two stage" deploy? That would be on a 4 step system? (link plz)
I used to mess with my friends, the MH had an airbag suspension that would inflate to compensate for rough roads so it would be 6" higher than when we left. Everyone wanted to scramble out soon as we got to our destination and since you could deploy them from the drivers cockpit, I wouldn't and watch them tumble out.
Sometimes you just need a good laugh at your friends expense

Dave, there was some speculation that they would be available through Dale's shop out west. At the price though, I think you are right. I'd rather see some other options available first, like disc brakes, IS and 17.5's
@ParkIt I'll post a video when I get home.

I noticed a coach just getting started with Dexter disc brakes and actuator on the Landmark, Bighorn, Big Country tour at the factory. The guy giving the tour didn't know they were being offered. Must be a new option. Looked like they were using 3/16" line.
Dale didn't like the springiness of standard steps. So he made his beefier - rock solid in fact.

Dangabbit, my security won't let me play it. Will have to use a different computer
Most are built to withstand people who start driving forgetting they are deployed. It isn't a hard and fast rule but its a base to build ones that are sturdy.

Some come with auto sensing (I don't think the ones mentioned here do) so if the ground is too high they automatically retract. Others are wired to the door so as soon as you open it they deploy, the rocker switch just inside the door locks them. That could probably be added later if someone wanted that feature.
