Other options if drilling and filing are out of decision, are to buy a 2 step foot stool or take it to a local RV dealer and have them install a 2 step. I'm retired so I like the projects with the RPod and I have the tools needed to do my mods. Plus I hate paying somebody to do what I can. Lot of stuff requires mod to fit, I don't mind because my initial purchase price was "reasonable". My attraction to RPods.

I fastened the steps with one hole lined up, which made it really easy to "elongate" the second hole - by essentially just drilling a new one.  Press gently on the drill though and be patient - if you shove it in there the sides will grab your bit and try to yank the drill out of your hand.

We love the new steps.  Yes, sometimes the bottom step is pretty close to the ground.  But even a few inches is a huge help - and we don't have to carry a stool or box for the first step.
