Specs:
This collapsible step was specially designed for campers that have built-in basement storage. On these campers there is typically a large space between the door and the bumper, which can make it difficult to climb in and out of your camper. By simply bolting this step onto your camper's bumper, you can bridge that gap, allowing for carefree entry.
SureGrip tape on the step surface helps to ensure proper footing as you climb into or out of your camper. And like all GlowSteps, the collapsible step comes with premium glow-in-the-dark tape for excellent visibility at night. Each strip of tape requires only 5 minutes of light exposure for it to illuminate up to 10 hours.
Quick, Easy Installation and Operation
To install the collapsible GlowStep, just bolt the included mounting brackets onto your camper's bumper directly beneath the door threshold. Drilling will be required to properly anchor the step to your bumper.
To use the step, position the built-in braces on either side of the step so that brace the uprights against the bottom mounting bracket. Secure the braces in place with the supplied thumb screws and wing nuts. If you need to access your basement storage, just remove the screws and nuts, fold down the braces, and collapse the step.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Torklift GlowStep collapsible step for campers with basement storage. Now this collapsible step was specifically designed for campers that have built-in basement storage. As you know, on those campers, there is typically a large space between the door and the bumper, which can make it difficult to climb in and out of your camper. So by simply bolting this step onto your camper's bumper, you can be able to bridge that gap allowing for a more carefree entry. Now this is going to work with bumpers that have a footprint of, let me line this up here, of at least 24 inches wide or long, however you'd like to identify that measurement.
So 24 inches. And then in regards to the depth, right at eight inches. So that's the measurement of those mounting brackets as you can see. So as long as you have a footprint of at least 24 inches long and eight inches deep, this is gonna be able to work for you. And to install this step, you're simply going to bolt those mounting brackets onto your camper's bumper, directly beneath your door threshold with the included hardware that you see here on my table.
And as you probably can expect, drilling will be required to properly anchor this step to your bumper. So to use this step, you're just going to position the built-in braces that you see right here on either side of the step so that they can brace the uprights against the bottom mounting bracket. And to secure the braces in place, you are just going to use the included pin and clips here that you see. And then if you need access to the basement storage, you're just gonna remove those pins and clips and then collapse this down. So let me see if I can give you a brief demonstration of that.
So I'm gonna go ahead and remove the pin and clip on that end and the pin and clip on this end. Obviously this is gonna work a whole lot easier when this is mounted to your bumper. But as you can see, this is just going to collapse just like that. So it's gonna be out of your way, then you're gonna be able to get to your storage. And it really has a pretty flat profile there as you can see.
So let me see if I can go ahead and bring this back up so it can be used as a step once again. So I'm just going to line up the braces. Let me make sure I'm lined up here. So I'm just going to line up those holes, run the pin through, make sure I can see the hole there. The pin and clip in that one. Let me connect this one. And this is going to be just as simple as that. So let me just give you an overview here once again, now that the step is back in the upright position. Now you're not going to be able to see this on camera if I shut my lights off unfortunately, but this is a GlowStep from Torklift so I did wanna point out that you do have a glow tape here. So you do have a piece here and then you do have, this logo here is also another piece. So those two pieces of glow tape are going to glow for your safety in low light or dark conditions, allowing you to safely climb in to and out of your camper at night. And in case you didn't know, these stickers are gonna glow in the dark for up to 10 hours with only five minutes of light exposure. Now this is made here in the USA of aircraft grade aluminum. So this is durable and it's going to be rust proof. And it has this really nice black powder coat finish. It's gonna hold up really well for you. I don't think I mentioned it, but there's actually these ridges here on the surface of the step. So that's gonna give you the added confidence and stability when you're stepping on this step, especially when it's wet outside. You're gonna have a nice sure grip on the surface of this step. This has a weight capacity of 325 pounds. Again, a weight capacity of 325 pounds. And then let me go ahead and give you the measurements of the platform itself. So lining that up there, we're sitting pretty close to 20 inches on the platform. And then the depth there, let me see if I can line that up there for you. So you can see, pretty close to six inches there. So 20 by six on just that platform. This does have a lifetime warranty from Torklift. And if you like this step, this is exactly what you need. But the black finish is not going to match your current camper. The good news is we do also carry this in white. So on your screen, I am including our model number for the white version of this step. Everything is exactly the same. It just has a white finish instead of the black. So you can take that item number, put it in the first field of our website, that will take you to the white one, and you can take a look at that and add that to your order if you so desire. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

I have purchased a ton of accessories made by TorkLift that I purchased from/through etrailer. TorkLift Fastguns, frame mounted truck camper tie-downs, upper and lower StableLoads and last year I replaced my factory RV steps with these TorkLift GlowSteps. I had a problem fitting the “scissor steps” to my truck camper because my measurements fell in between the measurements nessesary for three-step set and a two-step set of stairs. After much debate I purchased the 3 step set and it turned out that the 2 step GlowSteps actually fit my application much better. etrailer customer service assisted me making the exchange as inexpensive and fast as possible. We as consumers have countless retail outlets to purchase from online from but it is good customer service that keeps us using and supporting the same business repeatedly. etrailer? On this purchase was a 10/10 and
The 5 step Torklift steps work very well for our setup. We have a Ram pickup that is lifted and running 37" tires. Bought the steps for a Four Wheel Camper Hawk popup camper. The mount point for the stairs is 42" off the ground, so we needed a good solution for entry/exit, it's way too tall for us to use step stools or short ladders.
The steps were easy to install (took about 30 minutes total) and are very solid in use. The landing gear option for the base was a very good addition as we are almost always camped on uneven terrain. The landing gear is very adjustable with enough steps/stops so I can always get the steps level and solid.
Attaching and removing the steps is pretty quick. They weigh 31.5 lbs, so there's a bit of heft to them, but to be expected for something as heavy duty as these are.
Overall, my wife and I really like the steps after our first year of use. They are solid, the treads provide a good grip even when wet, snowy, muddy, or all of the above. The glow strips are nice too in the late evening or middle of the night and provide a good step guide.
Our last campsite wasn’t very level. After leveling the distance from the ground to our step was 23”! My 6” step didn’t help much for us or the dog, but it was an amazing site otherwise so we managed.
This step is easy to attach, very sturdy and will take care of those times when campsites aren’t level.
These are very high quality steps! I mounted them to a large aluminum storage box that I have on a receiver style hitch plate The box and step combo make it really nice for getting up and into my camper. The nice thing about these steps is that you can purchase addition mounts and place them at other locations and use the same steps. They also fold and stow very neatly. I purchased the pin lock assy.... but if you have the room they are easy to remove and store elsewhere.
I bought these stairs at what I felt was a pretty hefty price only to find it either used or a demonstrator model with scratches and dings directly from the sealed box from the manufacturer. Furthermore the manufacturing process has poor quality control with the aluminum struts having been cut with a water-jet and never being eased or smoothed out in any way. Next, the holes in the bracket are 3/8" in diameter but the supplied lag bolts which some of us must use due to the design of our campers are tiny #14 x 1 1/2! Right in the literature it says if you use the supplied lag bolts your warranty is void. Yes, you read that right. Oh, someone needs a swift kick! A trip to town and I bought bigger, longer stainless steel lags and bushings to make it work right but obviously these should have been included. HOWEVER - etrailer was excellent to work with and had superior communication at every step. They were also very gracious in addressing my concerns.
Great product. Light weight, sturdy, well worth the safety. Easy to install on camper, hook up and take down a snap. Pleasure to deal with etrailer, fast shipping and pleasant employees. Knowledgeable and helpful. Steps work in Canada!
The Torklift steps are so functional and comfortable for my basement slide in. And etrailer is my goto for purchases of rv pieces and parts.
Super impressed…great product, great service, great customer support, great tracking on shipment, great follow up. Highly recommend etrailer.com. We will definitely be using these folks for our RV purchases. Absolutely the best online shopping experience we have ever had!!!
Rapid delivery, very well-packed, and complete hardware complement.
As always, well done by eTrailer.
This step is wonderfully! Lightweight, easy to use, and very sturdy. Great product and perfect for our application.
Order came sooner than expected !!! Etrailer.com offers used item at a discounted price which was amazing deal. And item is in perfect like new condition. Highly reccomend
Mounted to the bottom of the sprinter on the drip rail and works great.
Sheila was very helpful steps came on time. All the products I have received from etrailer have been correct and on time. 5 stars to Sheila for her help.
I give this product 4 stars.
Adding a side man door to my truck to rv conversion required a set of special folding steps.
After a year I am still impressed.
These stairs are strong and durable.
I weigh 250 lbs.
All through the construction phase of my project, I
have gone up and down, in and out hundreds of times carrying various construction related loads.
With all of the use to date, my TorkLift Scissor Steps are tight and right with many more years of service to enjoy in the future.

very happy with the stairs, they don't fit the existing rail on the camper, but we are able to replace the rail with the one included with the kit. Thank you
The perfect item to make easier access in and out of our Arctic Fox 1150. It work well with the Torklift glow steps. I love when folded down you can still access the storage tray. One very minor disappointment the instructions shows lock washer which my hardware pack did not have in it.
We are so glad we invested in these. I have bad knees and use a cane, so having these wide and sturdy steps makes it easy for me to enter and exit using my cane! Our setup is a little unusual, a built up canopy on a dually flatbed. The steps are so quick and easy to put up and down. We bought the six step model but found we only needed five. With some online instructions wow were able to tackle that too. We also bought the small keyed lock that is available.
Scissor steps seem fine; just got them mounted on Ford F150 tailgate. Thus, no real feedback on their function other than I like stairs easily detach from truck and mounting bracket.
Installation on tailgate was very difficult. I had to construct my own mounting bracket to back up sheet metal on the tailgate. Underneath the tailgate plastic endcap, the sheet metal had several large holes. The Torklift mounting bracket bolt hole pattern aligned with multiple large holes. Thus I had to construct my own mounting bracket back plate to span the holes in sheet metal.
Etrailer rep answered my online question that the Torklift mounting bracket was good fit for mounting on tailgate of F150. He was wrong and mislead me. Thus giving 2 star rating
Excellent Add-on - Access either side now, Happy Wife, Happy Life!
Great customer service and speedy delivery! We clamped the steps into place and theylook great. Can't wait to get them mounted on our rig.
Great product!
As advertised ! Very good quality and, at least for me, easy install. Our camper bought used 10 years ago came with stairs that were never right. 5 steps.
These 6 step stairs were what we needed. Thanks for the prompt delivery also.
Great quality! Great service!
Fantastic, They came to me here in Alaska sooner than expected and they were so easy to install.
The hardware was all stainless steel so that was an additional plus
