Congratulations & Welcome to the forum from Oregon! wishing you many memorable adventures,,,Enjoy your new rig!👍🍀🌞!
Live in ours stTionary & full time,,,left the stairs down & boxed them into weathertight removable cover under removable stairs for when we want/ need to pull our rig out. But yes per our dealer service department discussions before we went our route,,,,it is doable and they have treatment suggestions to weatherproof the screw & attachment penetrations,,,,👍🍀 talk w other members and Alliance Service department & am Certain your questions will be answered! Good luck 🍀👍
