So how do you remove the steps? Mine need a little R&R and I was wondering how you remove them. All of the bolts that attach the steps rotate and you can't get to the back side of them.

Hi Perry,
Twice I have broken a support arm (different arms) on our 1994 34 footer and had the same problem - how to get the bolt out. I am not sure if our rig is the same as yours but think they are pretty close.
I bent back the banana skin next to the step (see the picture) making a large enough entry to get a box wrench in and on the nut which is behind the skin. Then I used a hex wrench on the easily accessible bolt on the inside of the step. To ensure I did not lose the nut when the bolt came out I put some duct tape on the back of the box wrench when the bolt was almost out and the gently pulled the wrench and nut out. I could have rebent the skin but as it really does not show much just left it.
Same procedure putting it back together again. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Don
