    That man door is a life saver, never had an issue with them myself inspite of how much random crap i haul. I have issues with the welded on steps. I have 18EE feet so the little tiny rungs that are safe to stuff on the trailer only allow the tip of my feet in. Combine that with heights and ice.....heh.

    Ladder helps but is also pretty unsafe in a lot of situation too. With the man door i just have grip tape or textured steps all over where i step to get up into the bed and dont need to worry about falling off nearly the top of my trailer again. Once was enough thanks.
