Specs:
TorkLift's GlowStep Stow N' Go steps offer stability and adjustability. The built-in landing gear legs let you fine-tune the height of the steps. And they can be adjusted independently of one another to stabilize the steps on uneven terrain, eliminating any wobble.
These GlowStep Stow N' Go steps have a bolt-on mounting base that installs on the outside of your camper. The base provides a strong and stable connection to your camper, and it attaches permanently using the included mounting hardware. When you're ready to roll, just collapse the steps, fold them up, and snap them into the base of the bracket. The stabilizing bracket not only holds the steps in place on the outside of your camper, but it also prevents unwanted movement and rattle. For ultimate security, add on a TorkLift pin lock (TLA7509 - sold separately) to lock the steps to the bracket.
Installation
Scissor steps are typically installed on truck campers. The Stow N' Go scissor steps from Torklift are easy to install and lock into the mounting bracket while on the go. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
Will Torklift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps Work For Me?
The Stow N' Go 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 and measure the width and height. You will need an area of at least 23" wide and 3-1/2" tall.
Once you have an approximation of where the mounting bracket will go, the spot you chose will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do I 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 tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays entry height measurements in the first column. The step part numbers with the 21-1/2" mounting bracket width are in the second column.
This page's step assembly is in bold text.
| Entry Height | 21-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width |
|---|---|
| 23-1/2" - 34-1/2" | TLA7843, TLA7833 |
| 31" - 42" | TLA7844, TLA7834 |
| 38-1/2" - 50" | TLA7845, TLA7835 |
| 46-1/2" - 58" | TLA7836, TLA7846 |
How Do I Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
GlowStep Accessories
Add any of these accessories to your Stow N' Go steps for stability, eliminating gaps, and keeps your steps and RV interior clean. The GlowGuide handrail (TLA7621 - sold separately) attaches to the outside of your RV and a bracket on the bottom of the steps. This helps to steady the assembly and adds 25 lbs to the weight capacity of the stairs. The SafeStep vinyl barrier (TLA7602 - sold separately) easily fastens with Velcro strips in between any 2 steps. This prevents your or your pets from accidentally slipping between steps. The DirtDestroyer boot brush (Tla7603 - sold separately) affixes to the bottom of the steps so you can scrape your shoes before climbing into your RV.

8" x 20" Aluminum steps are designed for truck bed campers. Steps mount on camper and don't need to be removed for travel. Easy deployment with retention strap. Landing gear legs offer maximum stability and let you fine-tune the height.Fit my custom camper perfect, easy installation I will prolly remove the steps when traveling but the setup will make it easy to put the back up and use.
Well made, steps seem quite sturdy. The thing that frustrated me was the advertised height of 58” causes the steps to angle downward, it is hard to descend the steps. My truck was 56” and the steps are quite awkward. I would say don’t use for anything over 46” in height.
I didn't purchase the steps for an RV. I purchased this product specifically because of its durability since it would normally be mounted on the outside of an RV. I live on a canal and the slope to the water is deep. I couldn't afford to build a whole new dock so I got the steps to lay fully opened on the ground down to the water. It's secured with bolts in cement in the ground at the top. The weight is substantial because of its very good quality so it's secure on the slope. The steps have safety tread built in. Eventually I will get a railing, but for now I am completely satisfied with the steps. I can confidently get to the canal and in and out of my kayak.
Steps work well. I had to fabricate a custom mount for my application but it performs as designed
Great product. Should be standard on all trailers. I have multiple trailers and use them from salt winter Vermont roads to hot humid Florida roads. Usually get 6 months out of blade style 7 pin. These are far superior!
Great stairs. Very good service and nice to get a follow up a year later so you can give a proper accolade. Thanks
not installed yet, but the product looks great as expected. like always etrailer is easy and very quick shipping. Thanks again
We use the stairs for our dogs to get in and out of the bay. They love it and so do we!
We have one year to use on those stairs using them every day they work very well with no troubles. These stairs were installed in a tiny house for access to a loft bedroom we retract them and extend them every day flawlessly
I have a Lance truck camper in the bed of a Ford superduty 4x4 truck. The door opening to the camper is about 40" above the ground when in the truck. The two step setup that was factory installed on the camper was simply too high above the ground to use. So I installed the Torklift 5 step scissor step system. It is very easy to use, very sturdy, and easily adapts to different ground heights if the camper is parked on a slope. I fabricated a steel bracket that mounts up under the camper to the factory installed mounting studs, then bolted the scissor steps to the new bracket.
I installed my tow N Go steps today. Instillation was easy and I think they will work well. The reason I did not give an excellent rating is because the bolt fisher TorkLift provides is two feet short of what is needed. The door on my truck camper is a touch right of center at the back. The door on the bumper is o the left so a five foot bolt fisher is needed. For the price of this unit I would think TorkLift could provide a longer fisher. I ended up soldering some single strand wire musky leader material to the provided bolt fisher to extend it. Had photos but would not upload.
Trevor W. and etrailer did a great job. Quick shipping. Product as described. Easy install.
Excellent “steps” for a high clearance Truck Camper!
These scissor steps make a huge difference for us to safely and easily enter our camper whether it is on the truck or not. I did modify one thing. The gap between the top scissor step and the truck landing was too wide and I was concerned we might step through the opening. I rectified this by attaching one of the original steps to the landing which gave an extra step and took up the space between the top scissor step and the landing. Attached pictures show this modification. The steps still fold nicely to the Arctic Fox Landing while traveling and attacing the steps to the side gave easy reach to the ladder for stability until I reach the handle on the camper itself.
Mounted this on camper. Because bummer was weak, my husband build a box, attached that ontop of camper bumper, then attached this. Great work around as our camper was so high, without this step I could not teach door handle. Love it!
I have a 2022 Lance Truck camper model 825 and they came with the fold down 2 steps which did not work since my 2016 Ford F250 is lifted I added 19inch rims.
So I ordered the Torklift 5 steps to compensate for the Hight of the truck and this model worked out just right. I had to fabricate 2 L shape brackets by using 2 old bed frames made of steel and used the bolt mounts from the old steps. as you can see in the pictures. As of 2023 Lance Campers now have contracted with Torklift to add these Torklift steps to all their truck campers. This is a fine product it does what it is supposed to do. Just have to be creative when you have something that's not an easy fix.
I’ve always been very impressed with torklift products. From their camper tie downs to their super hitch and super truss. Now I just installed their glowsteps on my 2021 Arctic Fox 990 slide in camper. I attached it to the fox landing. The glow step mount was a few inches wider than the landing but I just let it hang out the extra width and drilled and bolted it to the landing with the 6 provided stainless steel bolts. Outstanding quality and all the tork lift products I purchased through etrailer and received all in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend both torklift and etrailer to anyone.
Great way to get into my truck camper. Keep them lubed for easy, one-handed extend & contract.
These steps are a game changer! Very sturdy and installation was fairly easy. Fellow truck campers, ditch the bounce of factory steps or the use of a step ladder and get these!
The steps are great. However, the installation instructions were for a different model and the hardware bag was missing the hardware needed for my model requiring me to purchase from a local retailer. Had to call Torklift tech support to clarify installation since the instructions were not for my model. Overall poor attention to detail from Torklift manufacturing.
this is very well made. we love it. The only problem we had was that the mounting lag screws and any instructions for installation were not included in the package. Also we had to get angle iron to attach to our camper because we only had about an inch or two under our door to attach it to. But the quality
is very good and they are very sturdy.
I really like these steps. They replaced two folding steps on my truck camper that were always just too high off the ground. They work great and seem to be good quality.
Was very easy to order. Received it fast.
It was simple to install and works as we wanted it to.
Will continue to order from E Trailer as they are very
trusted and helpful every step of the way
This Torklift stairway is very well engineered and constructed. Installation instructions are very clear an concise. The only problem that I encountered was that the bolt fishing device was too short to install the center and right side bolts on a Lance camper bumper, which is open on only one end. I solved this problem by using an electrical wire crimper to add apiece of piano to the fishing device. Seethe attached photos. Neither etrailer nor Torklift tech support had a solution for me. So , here it is .
