I need a fourth step

I had to raise my 5er and now the three steps aren't high enough sometimes. We currently have the folding steps from C.W. There are times that even this doesn't handle the extra height. Anyone have any suggestions for putting another step on my trailer? Iwas thinking about making one that I can take off if I don't need the extra step.

My father just carries a few cinder blocks to adjust for terrain.

Somthing else to consider is droping the trailer. My last 5th wheel was a Sunnybrook and it had the three step set up. I used a step stool for the first trip then ended up droping the trailer. I was able because of the axel set up. Check and see if this is possible, just remember that it may cause a problem with the tow vehicle. Keeping the entire set up level is sometimes the hardest part of it. Good luck.. just another way of looking at it.
