I'm headed to the garage to develop a prototype escalator. (5-6 steps).
Requirements will be adjustable (for different RVs) weatherproof and runs on 12 volts or 110.
There you go. Order one of these for rent when you check in to the park and have them come set it up at your site and voila.....lunch to be served on my yacht in about, say... 3 years.
Next problem please.
Of course I'm kidding but you watch somebody run with this. Another million dollar idea I did NOT go with.

That is where a lot of people get confused. 10" of snow in Lubbock, is a local weather event and has little to do with the documented warming trend that planet is experiencing over a span of years or decades.

I doubt we want to get into this debate. Temperature fluctuations - extreme, are historical for millions of years - repeatedly. That's what happened to the dinosaurs - and there were no humans.

Wiredgeorge made a comment about 10" of snow in Lubbock (I live 55 miles away) and the constant push about "global warming" is getting hard to swallow....it is.

Not an escalator, but there is a handicap lift on the market for rvs that attaches at the doorway.
As for the 10" of snow in Lubbock, with the usual winds in that area 10" made for some serious drifts, probably 2-3 stories high on the south side of everything.
Plus with cooler than normal temps all across the country so far this winter global warming would be a hard sell for most folks.

Our Alpine came with a handrail going up to the bathroom and bedroom. I think I use it more to go up the steps than down the steps. Prior to purchasing the RV prior to my retirement went looked at the full gamut from Motorhomes to regular TTs. After two years and a total of six months camping in it we are thrilled with our decision on a fifth wheel. We still look at all the other brands, length, options, etc. and the only set up I might prefer would be a Class A diesel. The main reason would be for a smaller tow vehicle with 4 wheel drive. While we have managed just fine getting into many cities with the F-350 with the long wheel base I have to be very selective in where we park it. Otherwise, the fifth wheel is the way to go for us.
