Hey guys, this is Jake here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna go over some details and the measurements that you're gonna need to take if you're wanting to replace your fifth wheel or your travel trailer steps. If you're looking to replace your motor home or your RV steps, we're gonna have a separate video made just for that. Now, a couple of reasons why you might want to replace your steps. One of the biggest reasons is because people don't like these pull out steps because they're uncomfortable and makes for a not pleasant experience on the inside of the camper if they're folded out because they hover above the ground. When somebody steps on 'em, it rocks the whole camper.
So that might be a reason why you wanna upgrade from the pullout style steps to the fold out style which will fold up into the door of your camper. The nice part about the fold out is that they're going to be rested on the ground, so all the weight from the person walking into the camper is gonna be pushing on the ground and not pulling on the side of the camper. With that being said, a lot of people like this style because it's not gonna take up space on the inside of your door. So regardless of which kind you would like to go with, there's gonna be different measurements for each. There's gonna be a measurement for the pullout style if you wanna replace just the steps you have outside already.
And then there's gonna be different measurements for the fold up style, to be able to measure, you know, you're gonna have to measure from the ground to the inside and then side to side in the door. So, it's gonna be different because they're gonna be located in a different spot. Now, here we have a different set of pull down camper steps. The reason why I switched from my camper to these is because my camper, the bracket's actually welded in. If that's the case, you're just gonna have to cut it out.
But the reason we're showing you here is because these are bolted on and I'll be able to give you the proper measurements to replace 'em. So, first measurement you need to take is from this bracket, the bracket that's actually attached to your camper, not the step bracket, from the inside to the inside of these two brackets, which for us here is gonna be 27.5. And then what you need to do is you need to measure the depth of this bracket. So from this outer edge here to the trailer frame. Good for that.
We get about 13 and 3/8. And then the last measurement is from the ground. Now you wanna make sure you're on level ground and your camper is level from the ground to this bolt right here on the outside. So that. we're getting about 26 and 1/4. Now, if you're looking to upgrade to a set of fold-down steps that actually store inside of your camper, the two measurements that you need to take is from inside flange to inside flange, not the inside of the actual door frame, because it's gonna need to fit in between these flanges. So for us measure right up against there and we get about 24.5. You can see there. The other measurement we need to take is from the ground, again, being on level ground from the ground to the top inside of the threshold itself. So for us, it's going to be about 35. And the last thing that you need to do is you need to match up the measurements that you've taken, whether you're replacing your steps that came on your camper or you're replacing them and upgrading to the fold up type. You just need to match up those measurements to the measurements on our product page for the steps that you're looking for. Well, guys, hopefully this information was helpful in helping you to find the right information and the right measurements you need to replace your camper steps. If you have any questions, please leave 'em in comments below and we'll see you next time..

Great looking product, but it didn't have mounting hardware(footman loops) included in package.
I have used your site many times but this time the connectors to lock the steps on the deck were not included.

Oh, no! I checked on this and it looks like we are working on getting the hardware sent to you now.
Have used stairs for over a year and stairs have operated trouble-free. Have used on hayride wagon for hundreds of people. Fantastic item.
Just received my Victory Steps today. The installation was very simple and worked very well. I am using these steps on my 2022 Momentum 25G Toy Hauler. The fit is good and easy to pack up and set up. I got these to enable easier access out for our three dogs, grandkids, wife, etc. It's much easier to stage everyone on the patio to head out. The quality of the steps are first class. They shipped in a cardboard box. A couple of screws and washers came loose inside during shipping, but I recovered all of them and re-installed without issue. I tried these out in my backyard on the pad where I keep the trailer. The ground is a little closer than it will actually be when we are camping, but it works all the same. I added tread covers to make it easier for pets to use them and not slip. The covers work very well and I'd recommend them if you have pets and it is also better feel for us humans too. This is exactly what we were looking for. I'd recommend them for anyone needing portable steps.
It’s very helpful and much safer than other step stools we were using. The handle is a little awkward and the hauling and storing of it is a bit of a pain. It came missing pins and mounting hardware, but customer service was great, and they sent to us. But disappointed it didn’t come with screws to mount the mounting hardware (not a big deal though).
Staff was very knowledgeable, courteous and very helpful. Product was exactly as described with easy installation. Fast shipping and will recommend this product
We are using these steps on our toter home and they are perfect. They are very sturdy.
These steps are excellent!!! They work perfectly. I would highly recommend !!! etrailer always has what I need and shipping and communication is excellent !!!!
Use for access to Class A Outlaw patio. OEM steps were very bulky and hard to work with. New steps are much lighter and take up half the storage space of the OEM's. These steps have held up very well over the past year and like new; couldn't be happier with the product.
Not heavy, easy to attach and store
Works great adjustable for different te rrain!
Great product! So good, in fact, that the first steps we purchased were stolen so we had to purchase these again. The 2nd steps were just as good as the first ones. Very sturdy and easy to set up.
Just got them . I'll know more when I get them to the rv but pretty satisfied.
game changer for our patio! works great !!
