GlowStep Revolution

I have never been totally happy with the steps on my current Cougar 5th wheel or my previous one. The bottom step is always slightly too far off the ground and the whole thing feels like walking on a spring board. A few years back I acquired a gadget called an Add-A-Step (guy is no longer in business) that helped greatly with the bottom step problem. But, it was designed to be used on a rectangular step and my Cougar has radiused, or curved steps so it didn't fit totally on the steps and only added to the "springiness" problem. After researching a couple of options I decided to go with the "GlowStep Revolution." What a difference! The GlowStep is a "plug-and-play" replacement for the OEM steps. The top step is adjustable to three different positions depending on the distance to the ground. The bottom rests firmly on the ground and the bottom legs are individually adjustable through five different positions to accommodate level or uneven terrain. This thing ain't cheap but to me it was worth it for the absolute solid footing of the steps.

I did the same mod. several weeks ago. One of the best mod's I've done.
Mush easier on my old knees. Got rid of the spring board steps.
