I am certain we have but I don't exactly have a way to look up which ones that was. Therefore, in order to find the correct steps you would need to measure the distance between your outrigger brackets. You can then use this information to find the correct steps for your trailer. You will also want to make note of the distance from the ground to the top of the outrigger brackets as this will also be used to determine how many steps you need.
If you can't find a step that matches the mounting bracket dimensions on your trailer then you can always remove them and add you own using part # LC301704 as this would allow you to use any steps you like so long as they are appropriate for the distance you have between the ground and top of the outrigger brackets.
I have attached our selection of RV steps for you so you can choose the correct ones once you determine your braking spacing but you can also provide me with this measurement and I can recommend a set for you.
