Question:
I would like to purchase a scissors steps for our cab-over-Lance-camper. Your product specifications state that the stairs should be removed prior to moving the vehicle. Please comment as to why this has to be done. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
Brophy does not recommend their Aluminum Scissor Steps # AS23 for permanent installation due to their height when retracted. Even when fully retracted the steps will have a height of 10-1/2-inches which could present a hazard. Their other steps that you referenced, part # AS02, extend down only 7-inches when retracted.
Also, the # AS23 Aluminum Scissor Steps have nothing to hold them in place while travelling.
