Question Stabilizing the steps

My steps on my Keystone Sprinter are a little wabbly. How do you stabilize your steps?

Had that problem on my old trailer. Use to put wood blocks under them.

Double check all the bolts are tight, and nothing is bent. I have had both problems with my old TT.

On our Premier, I use an old screw type bottle jack. Use my cordless drill to run it up or down , works for me!!

We had the same problem on our Sprinter with both the front and back steps. I tightened up the mounting bolts and that seemed to solve the problem for me.

This is what I use. Works pretty well - the trailer doesn't bounce when people are using the steps.

I welded a piece of angle iron from the front side of the step box to the frame to triangulate things. I was gonna weld one in the rear as well but the front was sufficient.
