Wolf Pup - Two Step

I'd been using a stool to help my wife up the big step to get aboard. This two stepper is easier, although the installation is not a slam dunk.
The front end is a direct mount using straps. I used aluminum angle because it was handy but a heavy strap will work just as well.


You just need to drill holes in the straps at locations where the new steps mate with the bottom of the trailer bracket.

The back side will need a spacer between the bracket on the bottom of the trailer and the new steps. I used a couple pieces of scrap that happened to be the right with.
Ignore the hole and arrow - they were from another project.

The blue rectangle (bar the length of the mounting bracket) and the vertical plate next to it (same length as the blue bar) were scraps that together were the right width for the spacer. The spacer needs to be drilled to accommodate the (longer) carriage bolts.
You'll need longer carriage bolts for both sides.

There may be a double step that is an exact replacement for the single so you can avoid the additional parts, but I couldn't find one.
