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.
Will Torklift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps Work for You?
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.
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 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 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 You Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
-Make sure the assembly is centered beneath the doorway
-Secure in place with included lag screws
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.

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 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.
Great way to get into my truck camper. Keep them lubed for easy, one-handed extend & contract.
This worked out even better than I had hoped. We have a backyard storm shelter. They come with a steep set of stairs. Our 100 pound dog couldn't use the ladder and it is impossible to carry an unwilling dog into the shelter. Voila - these stairs are the perfect solution. Leave them steep for us then open them out for the dogs. Even the big one just walks down. Even better for us while we are in the shelter we can close the steps and have more floor space.
The product works fine. However if I was to do it again I would of ordered a 6 step instead of the 5. When I installed it [which was easy] I discovered my truck was a tad higher than I had measured.
My wife likes the ease of climbing in the Overhead Camper when loaded on the truck.
These stairs are great. Good quality. A little expensive but worth the safety. Free shipping was quick. I will use this company again.

Awesome
All products are top notch! Shipping and delivery extra fast! CS, William B. answered all my questions in a very professional and knowledgable manner!!
I'm pleased with the quality of the 5 step Stow N' Go Scissor Steps. I had to manufacture a bracket to mount the steps to my Arctic Fox camper bumper as the steps would not mount directly. Once that was done, the steps have been solid and safe. I'm glad I ordered the 5 step as sometimes that extra step is needed. All in all, quite pleased with the quality of the product.
Awesome product! Our truck camper door is about four feet off the ground when mounted on the truck. The three step ladder was just to dangerous and it was not a matter of if, but when, one of us was going to fall. The Glow steps greatly improved our access in and out of our camper, but made it much safer. Thank you for such a great and well constructed product. Installation was a breeze !!
Great addition to our truck camper. Stable and adjustable; exactly what we needed. Much better than using a step ladder or step stool. Great Product overall.
The stairs have worked great. We keep them attached most of the time as we travel, with the locks we don't need to worry. The adjustable legs make it easy when we are in the back country, always secure and level making for easy access.
Fantastic product. Very customizable to your camper.
I just wanted to express that I was very satisfied with the product and service I received from Noah E during my purchase of my steps for my camper. It is so hard to find excellent customer service and a product that is exceptional. Please note that Noah E is an asset to your company.

Great service and fast shipping
Just what I neeed great service as usual Thanks
Awesome product works great and allows us so many options
Great product, easy install, quick ship.
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.
Do you have a question about this RV and Camper Step?

We are still very happy with the scissor steps. They are holding up extremely well after a year of use. Being so well made, I imagine theyll last many more years.
