No    ...this is not about dancing. We just got back from our shakedown trip and decided that the single step on our 177 (Hood River Edition w/Axle Risers and larger tires) is a HUGE leap to the ground. At first I though about just getting a small Rubbermaid stepstool. But I see that CampingWorld has a nice 2 step manual step that appears to match up (specs wise) with the Pod.

Anyone else with an HRE model go the 2-step route ??

Thanks,

MJ

The HRE is the same height as a regular POD with Axel Riser I think so this post may be helpfull

==========================================

Not that an inch is a lot     ...but I'm pretty sure that the HRE is a tad taller, because of the larger wheels/tires (and the tires are "beefy"). Anyway   ...the distance from ground to threshold is over 24" (with the Pod levelled). We tried the extra footstool approach but the height of the stool isn't right for the existing step on the pod.

From what I see, even with the required modification, the Stromberg 2-Step is the way to go   ...at least for us.

Thanks for the link to the thread here   ...
