Honestly I cant tell you that just yet, after I put the spacer on I found the battery was dead, and well I didn't feel like cranking it open to see how the actual walk would feel I can tell you my stock step has a 5.25 inch drop, so that makes it 8 inches from the door to the step, but now that its lifted the step to the ground has increased by 3 inches. If i were to venture a guess, my door now sits 20 inches off the road vs 17 that means door to step with stock step is 8 inches, and then step to ground would be 12 they do make a single step that has a 7.25 drop and it would change it to -

Battery for travel trailer
swimmarz replied to IvanBeausky's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
My 2 month old interstate 12 volt battery decided over the weekend it really wanted to be a 6 volt battery... Luckily it still had 10 months warranty, they said it dropped 2-3 cells and that's why it would not charge. If I would have been forced to buy, I would look at an AGM battery, I currently have a dura last platinum agm in the TV and like it, had it for over a year and have had 0 issues. I saw Duracell AGM deep cycle group 24 at BJ's for $125 -

I like it! Watch the tire under the dinette, you may need to install a spacer kit like i did. its $52+ shipping, it comes directly from Dexter axle who made the axle on the trailer part number is k71-707-01 and the best price i found with shipping was from FIP http://www.finditparts.com/products/5855357/dexter-axle-k71-707-01 before lift, under dinette after lift under dinette to me, having more than .75 inch of clearance between the tire and wheel well, is good insurance I don't worry about the tire hitting it, and I know there is more room and possible less heat building up due to t
