Will Brophy Camper Scissor Steps Work for You?
Scissor steps are typically installed on truck campers, but can be attached to your truck's tailgate using a special mounting bracket (TSSB - sold separately). After the initial installation, they're easy to attach when needed and detach for compact storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Brophy scissor steps have a single mounting bracket that attaches to either the camper wall or the truck bumper beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available for the mounting bracket on your application that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and height. You will need a mounting space at least 24" wide and 1" tall.
If it turns out you have less space beneath your doorway, there are smaller step assemblies available with 18-1/4" wide brackets. A full list of the available steps is below.
Once you have an approximation of where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, the spot you chose will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To decide on how many steps you'll need, measure from the "mounting point" to the ground. This is called the entry height. The entry height should roughly match the height of the steps when they're fully extended, and it will also tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays entry height measurement ranges in the first column. If you determined you need an 18-1/4" mounting bracket, the step part numbers with that width are in the second column. If you determined you need a 24" mounting bracket width, the step part numbers with that width are in the third column. Choose the bracket size that is closest to your measurements without going over.

8-1/2" Deep x 24" wide aluminum camper steps expand from 40" to 48" tall and fold up for storage. Steps self-adjust for stability on any terrain. Non-slip tread ensures solid footing. Mounting bracket and hardware included.I gave this a 4 star cuz it looked to be well made. However, for my Palomino HS-750, it did not work. On my truck camper, there is only about 1" below the bottom of the door and the bracket (with hooks) is taller than that. So, this unit did not work for me. Note to the wise... I bought this w/o talking to anyone at etrailer cuz it seemed straight forward and I've always had good luck at etrailer. And though when I called about the fit issue they said they had never heard of that issue before, I had to pay for return shipping because I didn't talk to someone live. So, be smarter than me- call them and ask about fitment (in my case they clearly would've said it's OK since no one had ever had the issue before) but return shipment would've been free (I think).
Easy install. Solid product. Had to drill a couple extra holes due to alignment on my set up but overall it was easy. I told my sig. other that "I wish everything on this camper build out was as easy as the stair install". Needed the 5 step version. I thought the price was steep at first. After working on the buildout and realizing how much I have to do from scratch, a 30 minute "whoop your done" was in retrospect, well worth the $.
Nicely made, I have fabricated many items including tilt bed trailers and I think this is well made, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they need to do do more research on different applications, this camper only had fiberglass and foam in the mount area because of the insulated basement, I through bolted it with a plate on the back for washers, and added self locking nuts. I included a picture of the camper in my home shop.
Product works great! I had issues with the mounting bar on my camper. Not much room between the lower hatch and the door frame on my camper, but got it mounted.
These are good quality steps at a good price.
This is a third or fourth time I have ordered stuff and whenever I need it, I shall order again prompt efficient reasonably priced could not ask for better service!
It’s perfect!! Sturdy and works great. It’s easy to install and fold up for storage too.
Excellent quality, love the grip tape and wider than standard stairs. Worked great for our truck camper in a lifted 2500 Ram (2.5" lift with 35" tires).
I recently purchased a slide in camper and found it difficult getting up into the unit once it was on the back of the truck. I found a selection of collapsing steps offered by etrailer on the Internet. I called the company and spoke with Lindy, one of their representatives. She was very helpful in explaining the different designs, construction and extended reach of steps that were available. After a little more discussion I purchased a set of Brophy camper scissors steps for my camper. They arrived several days later as she promised. The steps, when attached to the camper are at the height I needed and being 24 inches wide gives me the feeling of stability. I couldn't be more pleased with the help I received from Lindy, and in the product that I received. It was a pleasant experience. I will recommend doing business with them to my friends and family.

The steps made getting in and out of the camper so much safer. Glad I had them. Have sold the camper and now someone can enjoy them.
I've been using these on my camper for the six months and they have been great! The steps function well, are easy to store and install. My only complaint is that the galvanized bracket that the stairs hang from when installed has already started to rust which is a little disappointing.
Wish we had purchased these steps years ago! I had been contending with flimsy slippery steps out of our slide in camper, which was challenging when I had an arm full of stuff.
These steps are stable, straight, non-slip, and long enough! Well worth the price for us!

Still love them!
Packaging is horrible. Maybe i got a return. The ladder was just in box. zero packing. Not even in a plastic bag. Bar that goes into bracket was bent. Bolt to hold ladder folded was also bent. I straightened it out. It is aluminum. Ladder seem to be good quality. But how can you just toss it into a cheap cardboard box.

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
Very well built and solid!!! Look great to.adjustable to various heights and the wider steps are nice
I submitted a review on my purchase, but I wanted to tell you the story of these stairs. I installed them in my parents house. My parents are getting older (in their 80's) and needed a safer way to get in and out of their attic space. Before the scissor stairs, they were using a step ladder and seemed a bit unsafe. These stairs are perfect for my parents...easy to expand and mount (two person job for them) and the railing is perfect. light weight and very sturdy! I only posted the photo of the stairs but wanted you to see my parents in action. They are soooo happy.
I have purchased items from etrailer in the past, but this is by far the best purchase I have ever made.
These steps are great. Due to my campers configuration, it is from the 60's, I had to modify the mounting bracket but after an hour all was good. I would recommend these to anyone needing a stable, compact and easy to store set of steps.
The service at etrailer was fantastic.
Turns out this was a replacement for a 4 step version. But 5 steps were too long for my truck camper. So we use them down at our creek swimming hole. Nice as they can be folded out in the spring and folded up and put away in the fall. Only complaint is the rivets at the pivot points are steel and corrode/rust. It would be nice if they were stainless or cast aluminum.
I am glad to get the 24" wide. Very nice!
Shipping is not bad at all.
Very happy good service we received our parcel april 30 it was schédule may 3 and the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps is just like we expected. Good for you etrailer.
The steps we ordered are exactly as described... they were easy to install and easy to use!!! They are very sturdy and make me feel safe as I enter and exit our camper. We needed them for a special over-nighter and were hoping without extra charges they would arrive in time, and they did!!! Customer service was FaNtAsTiC!!! We look forward to doing business with etrailer.com in the future.

Steps are better than we thought they would be. The original steps were short and narrow and as we have gotten older not very sturdy. These are very sturdy and actually fit the original mounting bar. Should have gotten these a long time ago.
We would highly recommend them for back entry truck campers.
Smooth transaction, easy install. For my application I was able to substitute the lags with stainless bolts.
So very satisfied with the steps for my RV, I can finally get in and out easily! The steps on the RV were so narrow and tall that I was beginning to think that I would have to stop camping. The steps fold up to a small bundle, but stretch out easily to walk up and down . Thanks so much for solving my problem!
Best thing i ever bought for my camper. They are very strudy, yet still light and compact. I am glad i picked these.
Do you have a question about this RV and Camper Step?
