Modify interior steps

[Roller4Tan]

My attempt at adding a step on our 318SAB Cougar. Repaired the ductwork while I had it opened up (bad fit, hole in flex duct).

Nicely done!

This is what I did with ours after the DW fractured her Femur last spring.

Mike9661....
I like your shoe cubby hole.

We just completed the stair replacement in our 327RES. We're not carpenters so it was a bit of work but worth every bit of the time spent. I have a picture but have no idea how to post it. Let me know how and I will show you how it turned out.

I figured out how to attach a picture of the replacement stairs we did to convert the stairs from one step to two steps in our 5th wheel.

Nice job. I did this to our 299RKS & it really helps the knees. I wish I had done it sooner.

[starman]

Thanks Wayne. We are very happy with them and they will also be a lot easier on the knees. The old steps were in there better than we thought they would be so it was more work than expected but we are glad we took on the challenge.

Thank you. We are very happy with the way they turned out. Yours are incredible. Very professional looking.

We have a 292RKS similar to yours. I would like to see some
pictures of your new steps. I was considering this mod, but
thought the steps would extend too far and interfere with the door entry.

JJake...I answered your PM. Sorry for the delayed response. Ck my photos.

Good job Starman, that looks almost exactly what I did. I used cedar, stained it dark, but went over the top of the old stairs instead of removing them. Like you, I now have three steps at 7 inches each instead of one 10 inches and the other one 11 inches. My wife has some serious medical issues and was very difficult to negotiate the two huge steps; now it is so much easier for her. I left the top of the steps varnished, but I really like the carpet you've added. It looks great and it isn't that tough.

Sorry, I'm not sitting through a seven hour YouTube Video.

Ron W,

I've debated this for a while.
Have the Keystone Cougar 292RKS model.
Steps right next to the door, only two.
I've crashed and burned about three times,
Once a face plant, totally fell down major.
But, can't extend the steps, no room.
Now, I'm just resigned to carefully holding
on for dear life as I ascend or descend.
Hold on tight and don't let go till on terra firma!

For those with "RKS" Cougars...
I'm speaking of model "292RKS" year 2010
I have seen posts of step mods for 299, etc.
but 292RKS.....anyone ever add a 3rd step to this?
Yeah, I thought so. Nada!

Is it possible to curve the steps toward the front door slightly and gain the 3 or 4" to get a third step in? We've got the 27RKS, but the steps are beside the front door, along the side wall, not out past the pantry/entry closet. The only way I see of adding another step, if it's even possible, would be to have the steps about 7" on the curb side and 10-11" on the street side.

Just a swag at one solution, you may find it impossible if you measure it out. I don't have access to a 292 to see how much space is really there.....
