I like the idea, because I have to keep a milk crate in the back for my wife to climb in. I can see the torque boxes being a big problem. The price is also a big problem for me.

I took a look at the mechanism for the door steps on my motorhome. It doesn't seem all that complicated, and unless I'm way off, it seems to be powered by a windshield wiper motor. I may go the route of designing my own step when I get that far in my build. My second choice would be to have a step that has a permanent mount but with some type of breakaway.
