Welcome to the forum!
As you likely realize you should probably wait to measure your trailer (after you have her leveled properly), but for your general planning purposes here is what our 2014 FC20 black steel steps are -- rounded to the nearest 1/4" and +/- :
1. 22 1/2"
2. 7 1/2"
3. 24"
This means the top step is 15" off the ground +/- , which seems like the dimension the mfg. needs for the top platform of their system (IMO). If I am seeing this right, are you aiming for the 2-step model (one regular lower step, and one higher step which is actually a small platform)? As shown on the right here:

Again I would recommend that you use these dimensions
only to "get in the ballpark" with your planning, and that you do
not order from them.
Good luck!

PS -- Have you considered the Port-a-Deck configuration, which would let you have more steps with a smaller "rise" for each step? More money, but gentler on the old legs and knees. [ Take it from one who knows . . .

With this set-up, you could have a "main deck" which is just under the trailer's main entry door when it swings open, making the transition into the trailer much easier IMO.
