Anyone mount scissor steps to the tailgate instead of the camper? I have F150 crewcab with the 6 foot bed. Palomino Bronco extends past the bed and rests on the tailgate. Sitting it back is not an option.

Wanted something less than half of the rated weight load for a 1/2 ton truck.Like to be realistic about weight capacities. Built a totally aluminum unit. 8 ft. box, 80 in. wide, 80 in. high. With door, windows and AC and jacks I can still left one end by hand and I'm over 60. I'm guessing at this point unit must be around 200 lbs. |
I remove my tail gate to lighten the load. I then attached the steps to the camper.

Camper only weighs 1000 lbs. Hauling a 3,000 lb. steel horse trailer. |
I'd be interested in options for using stairs or other step devices with the tailgate on.
My camper is only 1000 lbs and I cant take the tailgate on and off by myself. |
