The best option to make getting on and off your current steps easier is adding a removable step like the Adjustable-Height, Folding Platform Step # S-150 which adjust from 4 inches to 8 inches tall and is 24inches long by 16 inches wide with a weight capacity of 300lbs.

Another option is to replace your current steps with steps that are taller to be able to reach the ground. To determine the correct replacement steps for your Flyer Explorer you will need to measure the distance from the bottom of your door frame to the ground.

You can use the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 2 Steps # SS02 expand from 18 inches to 23 inches tall and mount to your camper, but they will need to be removed and stored inside while driving.

For more length you can use the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 3 Steps # SS03 which expand to 24 inches to 30 inches tall, or the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 4 Steps # SS04 which expand from 31 inches to 40 inches tall.

While the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps do a great job of self adjusting to sit flat on uneven surfaces, I recommend keeping the FasTen RV Leveling Blocks w/ Carrying Handle # CAM44512 handy just incase.
