   Does anyone have a picture of the Stromberg Carlson 2 steps installed in the up, or travel mode position? We recently purchased a 2016 RP178, and after two trips, I want to replace the one step with a two step. My only concern is ground clearance in the 'up' position, although I doubt if that will be a problem. So far, our experience with our Rpod has been fantastic! Thanks for all the helpful advice on this forum.

	I just put them on our 179. Does reduce ground clearance behind the wheel by about 2". Not throwing the old steps away just yet, but I don't think it will be a problem. The rear jacks are more of a worry.

	Purchased a 2016 RP178 also. I can't speak specifically about the Stromberg Carlson steps but we did replace the original single step with the Flexco double step from etrailer.com. https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Stairs-and-Steps/Stromberg-Carlson/SMFP-2100.html The Flexco steps, after installation, extend 11 inches from the r-pod with 8 inches of clearance to the road. One of our favorite mods we made. Just a note: The bolt holes don't line up exactly so I had to modify it to fit properly.
