Hitch Stair with 2 Steps for 2" Trailer Hitches - RHS2
Average Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (260 Customer Reviews)
by: Dave01/26/2024
Overall I'm happy with the product. I use it for steps to get in my camper. It's fairly lightweight and small. I can leave it on the vehicle when I'm driving, or take it off if I want a smaller footprint for parking. I have a license plate camera (since my tailgate is off, so my factory camera is removed) and for the most part the camera view is not obstructed by the step.
The build quality is pretty bad. I didn't feel like going through the hassle of return the product, but the top step is tilted quite a bit (see picture). It's just sloppy manufacturing. I'll live with it, but it's the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.

Worked great! Not exactly what it was designed for, but I modified it for a boat step, for trailer.

I am 67 with well used knees so climbing up and down from the truck bed was very difficult and not very safe. I received these stairs and popped them on the hitch. I have a Ridgeline so I could open the tailgate from the side and it cleared the step with plenty of room so I could use both steps. I climbed up and climbed down with no real effort and felt more than safe from falling or injuring a knee. It is small enough and light enough to put in the bed storage box so it is was the perfect solution to my problem of getting into and out of the truck bed.

Should work well for our truck camper. A little play in the receiver but I can find a clamp to tighten it up.

Works well. Had to paint it white so people in parking lots would see it and not back into it. Also added non-slip tape for safety.
by: David 10/29/2023
Excellent addition for my 2022 Silverado 3500HD. When I get to the job I pop it in the receiver hitch and it makes getting in and out of the back a whole lot easier. Highly recommended

Being somewhat disabled I had a hard time exiting my boat. With the help of these steps it is no longer an issue. These steps are solid. I used a small bumper receiver mounted unto the riser. Much easier to exit the boat now without the fear of missing my step on the trailer beam and falling or slipping.

I came upon a reference to this product while searching on line for a receiver-mounted platform to replace the folding step stool we had been using to enter our Four-Wheel camper. It appeared to be just what we needed, and I found that it was an almost perfect fit. The top step is at nearly the same level as the step built into the bumper of our 2001 GMC Sierra, so this provides a large level place for our feet when we are exiting the camper. With the step unit inserted into the receiver with the middle hitch pit hole aligned, there is only a very small gap between the top step and the bumper step. I am not sure yet if we will be traveling with the steps in place, but I did install reflective red tape on the back edges of both steps, and on each side of the lower step, so that it is more visible. Be aware that the mounting bar of the step unit is not a tight fit in the receiver, so there is some movement when weight is placed off-center on the steps. Wrapping tape around the mounting bar, or perhaps inserting shims, might improve this situation.

This two step hitch stair setup was exactly what I was looking for to provide easy access to our truck camper. The steps feel very solid and secure when going in and out of the camper. I bolted on some 2x10s to make the steps even a bit larger. I painted the wood and added antislip strips for safety. I also offset the wood steps a bit as our camper door is offset to the left. Silas the dog has no trouble going up and down these stairs! Great price for a great product!
by: Victor09/06/2018
I like it! I use my '55 Grumman (Doughboy) for camping and was looking for an alternative to carrying around a stool/step to put on the ground. I came across this Hitch Stair and I already had a 2" receiver on Doughboy, so figured I'd give it a try.
I was going to make one myself, but didn't want to take the time.
It does have a little "wobble" in it, but that could also be my receiver. I just carry a couple of wooden shims with me to make it steady and it works just fine.
I recommend it!

This product really needs a third step. It was difficult to step up, way up, into the camper. But that is not a worry anymore. I sold the camper and purchased a 5th wheel. Right now the step is sitting in a corner of my garage collecting dust.
by: David 06/21/2023
Just right for vehicles with truck campers, especially if you need to run with the tailgate down. This with a hitch extender allows two steps and you’re on the tailgate.
by: Brian 05/23/2023
This product is a life saver! After having stumbled off a small step ladder to exit my truck camper - resulting in knee surgery - I thought NEVER AGAIN! These steps are solid, stable and DEPENDABLE! Knee surgery is not how one needs to start retirement!
Thanks for a great SAFE product!!
by: Randall Dayton10/05/2017
My truck bed camper is so easy to access with hitch stair and extender. Having them has finished off my project perfectly. Thanks
by: Curtis 04/18/2024
nice step but would be nice if you included a pin to insert.
by: Julia08/11/2023
Quality is great however for a cab over camper there really needs to be a third step, or an option to add a third step.I really wanted these to work because while Bigfoot campers are amazing their option for stairs are rickety.
by: Tim 11/08/2021
Just received the stair steps and put them on my 2019 F250. I am very happy with them as the steps allow me to enter and exit the back of the truck with ease. I should note that this is a work truck with a space kap installed so I have two doors that open, no tailgate. It is so much easier to have the two steps so I don’t have to step up high to get in.

Steps are still working great and are solid. I leave them on the truck all year in the north east so they see sand and salt in the winter but even so there is barely any surface rust. If I was in the market for steps again I would definitely buy these.

Works great
by: James07/20/2021
Step wobbles when you step at it's left and right sides. I tried shimming left right and bottom of the hitch which helped. I had though that it needs an angled split in the part that goes into the hitch with a draw bolt that pulls the 2 split halves towards each other allowing the size to grow and tighten into the hitch receiver. I thought about drilling a hole into receiver and welding a 5/8" nut onto side of receiver to tighten a bolt into the tongue of the step. I like the split tapered idea better as I would not be compromising the hitch integrity. I switched back to folding stair and do not use the step.

At first I was not fond of the step! the 10 step is way too large. Most step averages in a home run 7-14. I let the item set for 6or more months. Finally I decided to use the item as parts and make mu own custom step. I ground off the weld from the hitch tube, rewelded the placement from the hitch to my top step to match my needs being 7 below rear truck camper rear porch. We then cut and rewelded the lower step to be 7 below upper step. I tried and loved this, but the centerline of the hitch does not match the centerline of the camper door. Next modification we cut the welds from the steps to main center steel structure. we offset the steps to the right leaving 3 overhang at left of main support. The top step was very stable, but bottom step required additional steel bar welded to the original frame, and 2 14 rods at an angle projecting out to support the bottom step from flexing. Now that I have modified the original to my needs. I LOVE THE STEP . It provided me with incredible parts. By the way, the step does not wobble now as all pressure is on one side, not shifting from right to left as you go up it.
by: Richard 07/25/2023
The stairs are perfect for my camper. Easy to slide out and stow to maintain high clearance.
by: Philip08/22/2020
Using as steps to make getting in and out of the boat safer. Not as nice as trick steps for this use but much cheaper and serves the purpose
by: Ray10/20/2022
It took me a while before I tried the stairs on our truck with camper. We have Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and the combination camper, and truck seemed too close a fit and did not suit us. I know there is a hitch extension, but we often tow a three horse trailer and it was too much of a complication to buy more stuff. The same was true for tie-down cleats, as our caamper fits intothe bed too close to keep the cleat permanently installed. etrailer was great for responsiveness on purchase, and if etrailer had been a local store, I would have taken it all back for refund. Instead I have the stuff stored.

- Would the Hitch Stair part # RHS2 Work Well to Aid Getting In and Out of a Truck Bed CamperYes, since your camper is flush with the back of the truck bed of your 2007 Toyota Tundra the Hitch Stair part # RHS2 that you referenced would be an excellent way to help you get in and out of the camper. That's actually what this product was designed to do. To prevent theft of this product you may also be interested in the hitch lock part # e98880.
view full answer... - Recommended Truck Bed Step for 2017 Ford F-250I may have a solution for you, however the Bestop TrekStep Side Mounted Truck Step # B7540315 referenced in your question will not work for your 2017 Ford F-250. There is not a custom truck bed step currently available that will fit your truck. I instead recommend looking into a hitch mounted step like the Brophy Stair with 2 Steps # RHS2. This will slide right into a 2 inch hitch receiver to provide you with two steps for easy access to your truck bed. It features 3 hitch pin holes so...
view full answer... - Hitch Step Recommendation with Step Lower than Hitch TubeI believe we have just what you are looking for. Check out the Brophy Hitch Step part # RHS2. This actually has two steps. One lower than the hitch shank and one that sits above it. This would not require any hitch adapters to get a step lower than the hitch tube. For a locking hitch pin we have the part # e98880 which would work well.
view full answer... - Can Hitch Stair Steps for 2 Inch Trailer Hitches be Left in Hitch While Driving 2001 Toyota TundraTechnically, you could leave the hitch stair steps, # RHS2, mounted in the hitch while you drive. But it is going to affect ground clearance since the lower step is several inches below the receiver. I advise also adding an anti-rattle device such as # RM-061.
view full answer... - Truck Bed Step for 2013 Silverado That Works with Tailgate OpenThe bottom step of the Brophy Hitch Stair # RHS2 would still be usable with the tailgate down, but the top step would be blocked by the tailgate, so it might not be the best choice for you. In addition to the Hitch Stair, we offer several other options that might work for you. Bestop offers the Trek Step, part # B75300 which mounts under the vehicle, and will extend or retract with a push of the foot. It's really a slick system, you can see how it installs by clicking the provided link.

If that is the case then only bolt-on option we'd have is the HitchMate Boat Trailer Step part # HE4036 which bolts onto the frame. The photo attached of the Hitch Stair with 2 Steps part # RHS2 is a custom installation in which the customer welded the shank to the frame but it is not designed for this purpose.

- What Hitch Step do You Recommend for My 2-1/2 Hitch?I have a great solution for you to use a hitch step with your 2-1/2" hitch. Unfortunately, while we do not have any hitch steps that fit a 2-1/2" hitch, I recommend using the Hitch Stair with 2 Steps for 2" Trailer Hitches Item # RHS2 along with the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" # BWRHXA2182. With this setup, the reducer sleeve transforms your 2-1/2" receiver to a 2" receiver in order to use the # 288-08400. Using the reducer will not decrease the overall weight capacity...

Update: I ended up talking to etrailer, and they sent me a replacement, and the build quality of that one is good. It couldnt have been easier to exchange. etrailer did a great job. Still happy with the performance and functionality.
