That reminds me of the guy who went to the doctor and told him it hurts when I push here. The Doc said, don't push there. I just had to.
;D :D ;)
 
Mine sag also. I found that the support metal under the coach was partially broken allowing excessive flex. I had it MIG welded.

I also use this all the time.

I had the same problem.  Had an RV tech look at it when he was working on something else.  Told me a bolt had pulled completely through its mounting. He took the whole step off and repaired the weak areas (more than one).  Cost about $150 for the labor - no parts other than a bolt or two).  The step is better now but it does still sag a bit.  I attribute some of that to design.  After read Carls post above, it reminded me that I also had a broken brace which was repaired.

Thanks Carl.  I also have that step brace but think I need a longer one because most of the time when I am leveled this brace is too short.  I also use one of those folding steps to make up the difference because the wife is very unsteady on steps.

On second thought I could just add some jack pads to raise the step brace.

I added this Torque lift Revolution 4 step after flipping my axles.
