Default Dimensions

What are the dimensions for a -7 wing walk from the factory? Does anyone deviate + or - from this?

+1 for the Ray Allen WW material...went on cleanly, looks great, not as abrasive and cleans up easily. Only about 1 year since putting it down after paint, but so far...a big thumb's up! (I have buddies who used it and after 6-7 years, still looks like new!).

I used Ray Allen WW on my -4 for 10yrs and my only complaint it that it is cut too narrow.
You couldn't avoid stepping off the edge occasionally and scuffing the paint.

I they are listening....cut the material 4" wider so it is not so easily stepped off of and will lessen the likely hood of damaging an expensive paint job.

Ray Allen does not sell it anymore, although it is still listed on their website. I tried to order some from them a couple months ago. They said it is the same WW as Vans offered, so I bought from Vans. Very nice.

It might be worth the look at Camping World or a similar store. I'm not sure of the size, but they have it for camper steps.

If I were to cut one from roll stock, what are the factory dimensions?
