| Description of the problem | As i was entering the motorhome the steps extended out but when i stepped on the lower step it gave way and i fell off of the lower step. If i had been exiting the motorhome i would have fallen down about 3 feet onto the ground and i would have sustained serious injury. There is no safety latch when the steps are extended. I have read of other people having the same issue. *tt |
