 The entry steps on my minnie winnie are tearing away from the mounting bracket. actually the bracket itself, which is about 3/16 thick by 11 3/4 long is ripping at the bend from vertical to horizontal. both sides have 4 tears in the front portion. i will email digital photos. this presents a safety hazard as a person using the steps at time of complete failure, will fall from as much as 18 in the air to the ground. *tr
