Question:

What manual step will be compatible with Jayco Designer RV model year 1998. The original auto step bolts are 20 inches apart side-to-side and 5.5 inches apart front-to-back. Bottom step inside the door is 25.5 inches wide and 9.75 deep. The recess under the door is 26 inches wide . I was considering the Lippert Manual Radial double step, but the the holes will not align.

I have a great suggestion for replacing your powered steps with a manual pull out. But the powered 40 Series Kwikee Electric RV Step, # LC3726892 with a bolt pattern of 20-1/2" wide x 12-7/8" deep is the pattern the manufacturer set for their product; it is not an industry standard bolt pattern that is matched by others. I do not find a manual pull out step listed that can be confirmed to bolt match your existing bolt pattern. But I can recommend an easy to install pull step with great features.

The TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear, # TLA8102 is a 2-step model of similar size to your powered steps. But the scissor extension design and landing gear feature make it more stable than the current step. You can adjust the stairs' height to account for any type of terrain using the easy-to-use release lever. The built-in landing gear legs let you fine-tune the height. And they can be adjusted independently of one another to stabilize the steps on uneven terrain, eliminating any wobble.
