Has anyone ever had the main step pivot mounting break? We are full timers and were stoped at a state park in New Mexico. When we left, I put up the steps with no problems. When we lowered it at the next Park, we noticed it saging on the rear side. When I looked, the mounting arm just above the pivot pin, was broken almost all the way through. At first I thought the pin might have seezed up, but it moves freely. At no time has there ever been any resistance when putting the step up. There is no rust associated with the break and we didn't hit anything as there is no other damage to the step.

This is on a 2006 model 36 rs3. I think the steps should last a little longer that 3 years. Anyone else have this problem? Being it is out of warranty, do you think DRV would replace them?
