28Z Side Door width for wheelchair ramp?

Hi all,
New to the forum as I am trying to find out the width of the side door on a 2019 28Z. I will be renting one next month and need to find out if a 23 inch wide ramp can fit through the doorway. The Rental place did not have access to the motorhome this week so I though someone here might know.

I need the ramp to wheel my disabled father in law into the coach.

Thanks for any help.

28z owner here. Just went out to measure. 21.5 because of the grab handle and if it was removed it would still only be 22.5.

Another question if you don't mind.

From the ground to the door sill, what is that measurement? (without the step extended) and from the ground to the step while it is extended.

Also, how tall is each step inside?

I appreciate any help you can provide. I am trying to figure a way for my Father-in-Law to be able to get into the coach. He is able to walk short distances but steps are difficult if they are more than a few inches.
I am thinking that making an extended stair that fits over the current stairs that is somewhere between a ramp and stairway.

Thanks

first off, there are no extension steps as they are only inside. 1st step is 12" and step 2 and 3 are 8". I have some mobility issues and the 1st step can be a bit steep so I have a 8" high step stool that I place on the ground in front of the MH steps and it works well for me.
