Owner report 10724334 · 2015-06-09 (June 9, 2015)
THE CURRENT STEPS THAT ARE BEING USED ARE FASTENED TOGETHER WITH ALUMINUM POP RIVETS. THESE RIVETS WILL NOT SUPPORT A PERSONS NORMAL WEIGHT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THEM SHEAR OFF AND THE STEP FALL ALONG WITH PERSON THAT IS ON IT. THIS IS A STEP SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED THE COMPANY DEMCO THAT MAKES THE STEPS AND THEY DO HAVE A RETRO KIT BUT IS ONLY REPAIRED WHEN YOU CALL. MOST CAMPERS DO NOT KNOW TO CALL.
