I can absolutely recommend a set of replacement steps for your 2017 Forest River Sandstorm 27 but you will need to do a quick measurement of your entry height to confirm the correct model as we unfortunately do not have a way of checking the entry height on your RV.

I recommend the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear which you will need # TLA8104 if your entry height is between 32-1/2" - 44", # TLA8103 if your entry height is between 25-1/2" - 36", or # TLA8102 if your entry height is between 18-1/2" - 28".

If you are looking for a more economical option I would recommend taking a look at the Lippert Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs which you will need # LC432682 which uses a 25 1/2" mounting bracket and is for an entry height of 15 1/2", # LC432687 which uses a 27 1/2" mounting bracket and is for an entry height of 18 1/2", or the # LC432690 which uses a 25 1/2" mounting bracket and is for an entry height of 25".

I included a helpful diagram showing how to measure your entry height and a videos of the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution and Lippert Manual Pull-Out Steps for you to take a look at.
