This week we picked up new Flagstaff Microlite 23LB from an out of town dealer. (none available locally) Our previous TT was a Microlite and we were happy with it. When we picked it up and went through the PDI, everything seemed OK. Then we headed home and spent a couple of nights camping to sort things out. It then became apparent that there was a problem with the steps. The distance from the floor to the ground is 26 1/2 inches. Flagstaff provided a 2 step stair with a 9" rise. The distance from the floor to the first step is 11 1/2", and to the second step 9", which in my opinion exceeds any building code. It is especially relevant since this is a bunkhouse model. My wife and I are 69 and we will frequently travel with grandkids. An 11 1/2 inch drop to the first step seems hazardous for all of us. I have contacted Flagstaff and requested that they provide a 3 stem, 7" drop stairway. I am hoping they will make this good but if not I can afford the cost of new steps, it just irritates me that I would have to do this.
