Picture 5 of 80 from Album "NO" Intent Upgrades & Mods
Lippert two step stabilizer modified for a one step coach.
Been along time since I posted an upgrade…
I’m posting this here, as my install is specific to models such as the Intent that only have one step.
The Lippert step stabilizer is designed door two or three step models. But with a little DIY’ing, I made it work with our one step version.
The main difference being on a two step model, which they was designed for, the stabilizer gets connected to the middle step.
I don’t have that, only one step, so I connected to that bottom only step, but instead of mounting it towards the front, as the directions say, I mounted it all the way towards the back.
Why?
Several reasons. First, on a one step version the stabilizer would be too close to where one’s feet land before entering the coach, and you’d stub your toe on it.
Second, when the step comes out, if it’s too close to a curb lit could hit and damage both the steps and the stabilizer.
I also mounted it backwards, so that the knobs and pins that control height adjustment are facing the street, making it much easier to adjust when setting up. If I had a two step model that wouldn’t work, as the pins and height adjustment knobs would get smashed.
Anyway. It’s a nice stabilizing feeling. Our dog Wyatt appreciates the step not bouncing, and so do we.
It folds up when not in use under the step itself, (no photo of that but it’s flush inside the step).
