Replaced 3 step with Lippert 4 step tonight. Hardest part was getting to the bolts. They are hidden up under some light sheet metal. Once I figured out how to loosen up the sheet metal, 4 bolts off, 4 bolts on. Used the Air Socket Wrench, made it easier. I bolted them up to a 2014 Cyclone 3100, but they are universal. 27 1/2 inches wide (24 inch steps) MADE IN THE USA! FREE shipping; shipped in 5 days. Ordered Monday, arrived Friday. $199 each; bought 2. MUCH easier to climb up into 5er. A bit more springy than my 3 step, but I put a 4x4 under bottom step to stabilize and ALL is GOOD. I wish Heartland would offer the 4 step as an option. IF they did, I did not get the memo. I will never go back to 3 steps again.
