GlowGuide works with most RVs.
GlowGuide works with most rear-entry truck bed campers from the following manufacturers:
- Alaskan Campers
- ALP (Adventurer Manufacturing)
- Camp Lite
- Chalet RV
- Hallmark Manufacturing
- Host Industries
- Lance Camper
- Northwood Manufacturing (Arctic Fox)
- Outfitter Manufacturing
- Palomino RV
- Phoenix Pop Up Truck Campers
- R.C. Willett Co. (Northstar Campers)
- S&S Campers
- Six-Pac Campers
- Travel Lite
The GlowGuide handrail is designed to attach to both your camper or RV and your GlowStep scissor steps (sold separately). While the exact positioning of the mounting brackets will vary based on your application as well as your personal preferences, you will have 2 attachment points on your camper: one for the upper arm of the handrail assembly and one for the strut arm. The lower arm attaches to your stairs with the included brackets.
To position the handrail, unfold the arms and pull the rail assembly out from your camper. Then slide the lower arm into the brackets that are mounted on your GlowStep stairs. Adjust the length of the arms by loosening the built-in hand knobs and telescoping the bars. Tighten the knobs back down once the arms are all in place. The tension on the system is what secures the handrail in position.
To store the rail, remove the GlowGuide completely by taking out the pull pins that hold the upper arm and the strut arm to your camper.

Theses folks are great to deal with. Easy order and fast shipping. This was just what the wife wanted to make her feel safe going in and out of the camper. She's happy I'm happy. You can see the before and after had to add another step too.
by: Thomas05/09/2019
3.5 STARS if I could. Don't get me wrong this device definitely solves a substantial problem and reduces risks from high 4-5 step scissor stairs and I would encourage anyone with 4 to 6 steps down from a camper to buy and utilize this immediately. It really does work and provide a sense of safety. It also matches up nicely with Torklifts scissor step system. Don't let the 3.5 stars prevent you from purchasing this. Reason form my rating:
I deducted 1 STAR simply because the 3rd Stabilizer bar mounting bracket is a rigid, one position only bracket. When the stairs are expanded or contracted due to varying terrain, the single position bracket can sometimes be problematic. (Test various stair positions before screwing the stabilizer post bracket in place to avoid possible extra holes being drilled) This bracket should be adjustable and rotate on an axis. What baffles me on this, is that this is Torklifts 2nd or 3rd iteration of this product and I would have expected them to catch this little detail.
I deducted 1/2 STAR because I think the product is a bit overpriced.
Having said this, I reiterate that the product does work as advertised and I WOULD recommend anyone with Torklift Scissor stairs 4 or 5 steps (plus) to spend the money. It will definitely provide a more safe and secure situation when ascending or descending these high steps. (One more note: Mine is mounted on a Arctic Fox 811 Camper shown fully extended to Max Height)

I bought the handrail to go with the glow steps very pleased works perfectly, but didn’t receive the brackets and strap to hold in the travel postion. I just want to add that I have a Arctic Fox 1150 truckcamper. I purchase from Etrailer a 48” titan hitch extension and Rockymount swing away bike rack to carry our electric bikes. I said this to let you know that the stairs and bike rack work perfectly together and travel very well together.

It is still working great! We did a 8000+ mile RV trip this year and loved the setup every time we used it. We got many looks and complements from fellow rver’s.
by: Lyndon08/04/2023
It’s a little complicated to set up each time, so we tend not to use it for overnight stops. But when it’s set up alongside the scissor steps it makes a solid railing—wife with knee surgery loves it! (And the steps themselves are a lifesaver.)
by: James08/15/2022
The hand rail works well. The tube that fits into the stair fitting is apparently a interference fit. You have to really jam it in there so it does not wobble. There are threads in the plastic fitting on the end with nothing to thread into it. I would have thought there would have been a threaded fitting to lock it in place. But like I said it works.
by: Thom06/27/2020
As all Torklift products I've purchased and installed over the the years, Jay makes a great product. Always gives you more than you need for an installation, which makes your individual install all the more easier.
Thanks for the expedited delivery...Now if just hadn't been 114 here in Arizona, it would have been more of a delight!
by: Stan T06/02/2023
After installation for the first time, the hand rail works great. Perfect for the customer that needs a little help getting up and downs stairs safely without falling. We like them.
by: NP07/29/2023
Have dealt with etrailer many times. Always courteous, professional and responsive to my needs. Current order was delayed but, not etrailer fault.
by: Steven08/18/2021
It mounted nicely.i would recommend to anyone who needs a sturdy handrail to navigate their RV stairs.

All products are top notch! Shipping and delivery extra fast! CS, William B. answered all my questions in a very professional and knowledgable manner!!
by: Robert 12/20/2019
This handrail is great for steadying as you go up and down the torklift steps. As others have said, it will not bear a lot of weight or force. I like that it's pretty easy to install (drilling required though) and it's adjustable and must be removed before steps are stowed.
I don't like the price and the lack of sturdiness.
When I purchased the handrail and torklift steps, I justified the cost as being cheaper and less painful than a trip to the ER.

The handrail works as expected. When properly set up, its pretty sturdy forentering and exiting the rv. No, it wont break a fall and ther will no antics of sliding down the rail- its not designed for that. Putting pins in and taking them out can be tedious, but otherwise the handrail does its job.
by: Mark M07/19/2020
Very happy with the railing system. I use it with the Tork lift glow steps on my camper and was impressed by how much it stiffened the feel of the steps. Since my camper entry is around 4 feet high the railing makes it much more safe and secure to use the steps.

Still very happy with the railing after using it for a year. We have several young grandkids and makes it much easier and safer for them to use the stairs.

Lots of brackets for every application. Seems to be an excellent product. No

First off I have to say this is NOT the same GlowGuide Handrail that appears on the Torklift web site or the etrailer.com web site. Seems that Torklift has updated the handrail. What does that mean? Well if you're like me you did your research and looked at reviews, online videos, etc., before deciding what would work best for you. I really liked this system as it could be "locked" in a storage position for travel and you didn't have to remove it each time you packed up... at least that's how it appeared on the Torklift installation videos and their website. In their redesign, Torklift discontinued the additional mounting brackets needed to mount the handrail in a storage position, thus making the lock I also purchased useless.
Here is where both etrailer.com and Torklift deserve recognition for great customer service. While Torklift never really explained how they intended the "new" handrails to be mounted for travel, William B. at etrailer.com was great and when I reached out to them regarding the 'missing' brackets from the installation kit, he contacted Torklift and the company sent out an additional hardware kit at no charge that included two more mounting brackets. While this solved my issue, I'm not sure yet if Torklift has taken the necessary steps to update their product information on their website and let potential customers know that the handrail no longer includes all the mounting hardware necessary to store the handrail outside with the lock they advertise for it. The handrail itself is very well made and locks in to be very sturdy and stable, so I can't knock the product. It is as good as advertised. Both Toklift and etrailer.com have great customer service and Torklift makes great products. I think overall this just was a case of the product being upda
ted faster that the installation instructions and videos. Bottom line for me is that I will be a returning customer to etrailer.com and I will consider Torklift products gain in the future.

Very stable handrail. Only negative is tha Getting the pins in and out requires pliers.

Still very happy with the products. Very stable.
by: richard c09/05/2019
We needed a handrail to access the 5 steps to our camper door. The handrail was easy to install and does the job. However, keep in mind it is not able to support full bearing weight and is not designed for that. It is in my opinion a safe way to assist in balance and stability as you walk up your stairs. It is very easy to store and re-attach at you next destination.
by: Barry B.08/26/2019
We are very satisfied with the Torklift steps which we purchased for our camper. The closer spacing and increased stability from the ground have been a big help for my wife who had after effects from a stroke.
by: Vincent 07/24/2021
Added this hand rail to our tork lift stairs,as we our getting older and wanted added safety for us and older friends getting in and out of our 5th wheel RV. Really happy with it. Straight forward install and easy off for storage when moving. Thanks
by: Tom10/09/2018
as I mentioned in my review on the steps we really do like the hand rail it helps one to feel a lot safer a great product.

- Recommended RV Entry Step That Can Have Steps Added As NeededI may have a solution for you, but the only step that I'm aware of that can have steps actually added to it is the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear - 4 Steps - 25-1/2" Base - 375 lbs # TLA8104; you would want to use the Add-A-Step for TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps with 25-7/16" Wide Mounting Base # TLA8101 to add a step to those. The Lippert Alumi-Tread # LC432698 cannot have a step added to them, unfortunately. I do think these are a nice replacement...
view full answer... - Upgraded RV Entry Steps For 5TH Wheel 40" To Floor With Only 1/8" From Bottom Of Door To ThresholdI recommend installing the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps # TLA8004 on your 5th wheel. Due to the low threshold size and only having 1/8" from the bottom of your door to the top of the threshold you will not be able to use a fold in step like the MORryde # MR28RR. I actually prefer the TorkLift as it keeps any dirt tracked on the steps outside your 5th wheel when folded up. The steps do go all the way to the ground when you pull them out providing for a solid feel. The steps...
view full answer... - Are Torklift GlowSteps Stable and Easy to Walk Up and DownThe overall feedback we have gotten on the Torklift Glowsteps like the part # TLA7506 is that they are very stable and easy to use so I would recommend them for your application. The weight capacity is 300 lbs so you wouldn't need to do any special reinforcing either. I would strongly recommend the folding hand rail too part # TLA7621 to help stabilize the walk up and down the stairs as well.

Choosing a set of these steps is based on the height of the unit once installed. According to TorkLift the optimal mounting height is measured from the ground to the top of the GlowStep Revolution Frame when the trailer is leveled on flat ground. For the 5-step model that height is 42-3/4 inches. The 4-step model # TLA8004 has...

- Recommended Best Entry Step Upgrade For a 2005 Weekend WarriorFor your 2005 Weekend Warrior I want to recommend looking at the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps # TLA8003(27-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width) or # TLA8103(25-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width). These steps are far superior to MORryde that you were looking at, as they will still fold up outside your camper so that you are not having to clean all the dirt off the steps before they fold in. These are designed to fit an entry height from 25-1/2" to 36" and have 3 steps that will ensure that...

These are a 4 step system that has glow tape on the steps to help with visibility at night, and the adjustable landing gear help stabilize the steps on un-even ground and they'll work for entry heights between 31" and 42" tall. These aluminum steps are light weight and easy to move up and down, as well as remove during travel, so they're perfect for truck campers....

These steps give you adjustable feet for leveling. The steps give you a simple installation and are just 30 lbs. There is also an optional handrail # TLA7621 for increased safety.

The TorkLift GlowGuide Handrail # TLA7621 can be installed by your average DIYer as it includes bolts, washers, nuts, and rivets, but if you aren't comfortable using a rivet gun or installing something permanently to the side of your camper you might want an RV shop to do the install so you have some peace...
view full answer... - Replacing 3-Step System With 4-Step System on two CampersTo get the correct 4-step replacement for your campers, the most important measurement is going to be the mounting base dimensions, as the widest steps we carry are 24", though the mounting dimensions are wider. For example, the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear # TLA8004 has mounting base dimensions of 27-7/16" wide x 12" deep, similar to the dimensions you gave on your 2010 Dutchmen Grand Junction. The GlowStep platforms are 22" wide x 8" deep with a 7-1/2"...

The biggest consideration is the base measurements of your current steps.

The 350-lbs referred to in our description of the TorkLift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps # TLA7805 is their weight carrying capacity, not the actual weight of the step assembly. The step itself weighs only about 34-lbs thanks to its aluminum construction. But if you wanted to add more weight carrying capacity to the step you can add the matching handrail # TLA7621 which gives it a weight rating of 375-lbs.

After one year of usage, I still feel this is a must have product. Continues to work just as well as the day I first installed it. Very solid product. I would definitely buy it again should the need arise. Honestly couldnt imagine not having this on the camper and sing its praises every time we use it.
