Revolutionary Stability
TorkLift's GlowStep Revolution RV steps offer the ultimate in stability and adjustability. You can adjust the stairs' height to account for any type of terrain using the easy-to-use release lever. The built-in landing gear legs let you fine-tune the height. And they can be adjusted independently of one another to stabilize the steps on uneven terrain, eliminating any wobble.
Will Torklift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps Work for You?
Pull-out steps are typically installed on travel trailers. The GlowStep Revolution pull-out steps from Torklift are easy to install and fold up underneath the camper for simple storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The GlowStep Revolution pull-out scissor steps attach to the underside of the camper chassis, directly beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available underneath your camper that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and depth. You will need a mounting space that is at least 25-1/2" wide and 13-7/8" deep.
If it turns out you have more space beneath your doorway, there are larger step assemblies available with 27-1/2" wide brackets. A full list of the available steps is below.
Outriggers - metal brackets that act as an extension (LC301704 - sold separately) - may be needed for installation depending on the model of your original stairs. These provide extra length if the old steps are longer or wider than the new.
Once you know where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, that spot will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To determine 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 measurement ranges in the first column. If you determined you need a 25-1/2" mounting bracket, the step part numbers with that width are in the second column. If you determined you need a 27-1/2" mounting bracket, 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.
This page's step assembly is in bold text.
| Entry Height | 25-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width | 27-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width |
|---|---|---|
| 18-1/2" - 28" | TLA8102 | TLA8002 |
| 25-1/2" - 36" | TLA8103 | TLA8003 |
| 32-1/2" - 44" | TLA8104 | TLA8004 |
| 39-1/2" - 52" | TLA8105 | TLA8005 |
| 46-1/2" - 60" | TLA8106 | TLA8006 |
How Do You Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
- Make sure the camper is level on flat ground
- Lift the steps into the mounting space and prop into place
-Fully extend steps until feet touch the ground
- If needed, mark the mounting holes on the camper and drill
-Set aside steps before drilling
- If needed, install the outriggers
- Align step mounting holes and secure in place with carriage bolts and flange lock nuts
-Make sure the bracket is backed up fully against the I-beam on the chassis
-Hardware not included
- Tighten hardware until snug
- Make sure assembly is sitting square and level
- Torque the hardware tight
GlowStep Accessories
Add any of these accessories to your Revolution scissor steps for stability, eliminating gaps, and keeping 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 you 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.

Took just a little bit of time to install. I was by myself and ended up utilizing a small floor jack with board to hold it in place while I bolted it in. Well, it was very worth the time. Will order and install on new camper once I purchase it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
by: David 09/07/2022
I love these steps! There is nothing like them in the market. I found these about 2 years ago but did not make a purchase due to the high cost. As we age, being comfortable is always more important than cost. So I finally made the purchase and could not be happier. These steps are way easier to use than the stock ones! Definitely will be easier on my knees and feet. Steps are very well made and seem like they will last for many years! The true test was my wife and she loves them!
Install was moderate. Came with 3/8 and 5/16 bolts to be used depending on which holes you plan to use. Had to go to local hardware store to get longer 3/8 bolts. The 5/16 are longer but too skinny in my opinion. Had to use the provided spacers as well so the steps could fit snug in the mounting bracket of the trailer.
by: Michael 03/01/2024
These were pricey but worth it! They are so easy and convenient to use. Much better than the ones you close up inside the trailer. I highly recommend.
by: James05/28/2020
I installed these TorkLift steps on my 2011 Prime time 30'. Easy to install. I did it by myself. I have had them 1 year or more 4/2019. They are by far the best investment I've made for the trailer. Not only do they add stability to the trailer but the variety of adjustable options is great. We camp every month and whether they are fully extended or not. They are extremely durable and comfortable. The traction and the glow stripe are an additional benefit. Highly recommend. Spend the money they are worth it. You won't regret it. The picture i included is the steps fully extended. 5/2020.
by: Richard M09/09/2019
The reason I replace the factory step on my toy hauler was because, the drop from the floor to the first step was 12 inches. The replacement step has a adjustable height, and is easy to use. The install was easy. I am very happy with the GlowStep Revolution.
by: Ted 08/02/2023
I ordered this on Sunday morning at 11:00. It arrived Tuesday afternoon before 5:00. I could not believe it. I had it installed that evening. I could not be more pleased. Thank you and the etrailer team.

You can't beat the stability looks and over all function of these steps a must for any rv
by: Jonathan02/10/2019
Installed on our '04 Pioneer 23T6 travel trailer. I used the original mounting holes from the 2 step steps. The included spacer plates have a self stick tape that hold them tight to the new steps. Everything lines up, bolts slide in place, life is good! I used a small automotive floor jack with a couple of 2X4's to lift and steady while bolting into place.
The Torklift steps weigh in at about 50 lbs, so the additional support is welcome especially if performing this task alone. I had some help from my wife's uncle, however, it can be done by yourself if you take your time.
The steps themselves are fantastic. Extremely strong and stable. The rise of the treads are 7 1/2" with the top step having a 9 1/4" rise to the threshold of our TT. The old factory steps had a 11" rise to the threshold. Much improved for my wife and our two small dogs. I can drill new mounting holes in the trailer bracket if the need to bring the last step up a little.
We have not been camping in any uneven terrain yet, but the landing gear on the steps has over 6" of adjustment and is very robust. These steps hang down a little farther than the original 2 step steps. The TorkLift steps are about 6" taller than the original step. Our travel trailer sets up on the axles so I don't anticipate any clearance or curb issues.
All in all, this is a very well made, easy to install, durable product. I admit this is a pricey addition to your travel trailer, but the quality is there and and in the long run, a good investment.
by: Chad 12/25/2021
Bought these for my wife because the 2 step design out travel trailer came with was just too high a lot of times and we’d have to put a small step in front. These fit perfectly in place of the old, raise and lower great, and so far have fixed the problem she had every time we’ve camped in the year that we’ve had them. Also makes the camper a little sturdier as u go in and out. Highly recommend!
by: DEZPERADO 09/30/2019
My trailer cam with 2 steps but needed 3. All the normal steps had awkward spacing that was solved by the 3 step "Torklift GloStep". They are very sturdy and adjustable for ground that isn't level. I did have to loosen some of the hardware as it was a little stiff.
by: Jay 06/09/2020
these steps are a nice upgrade from my 50 yrs. old airstream im going to install them on. purchasing them was easy and delivery was right on time. I'm very pleased with my experience. Thanks.

These steps are great. Better than I expected. Very pleased
by: Jim M.06/09/2017
Stairs installed very easy and fit perfect. I did not have to disassemble them to install them. Installed them with a floor jack like any other automotive part the requires lifting, just balanced them on a 2X4 across the saddle of the jack and extended across the bottom of the stairs. VERY solid set of stairs. No more springboard/diving board effect on entering the camper.
by: Dean 07/26/2021
We have been on just one trip so far with the new steps. With the help of the spacer they fit like a glove in place of the old steps. On our one trip they provided a solid step no bouncing. When going in and out of the camper.
by: Jeff 07/03/2022
The shipping was prompt and the stairs are a quality product and game changer for my trailer

- Mounting Space and Height Requirements for TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Step TLA8103Your toy hauler's ground to threshold and opening width dimensions of 25-1/2-inches are just within the mounting requirements for the 3-step TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps # TLA8103. This unit is designed to give an easy drop-in fit as a replacement on an RV that has this 25-1/2-inches of space between factory mounting brackets. Do note these steps have a taller top-to-bottom retracted height of 14-3/4-inches including the feet, according to my TorkLift contact. If this does...

This is the same for the # TLA8103 since they both use the same housing for the retracted steps.

The depth of the steps is too great for your interior step. My recommendation for your 5th wheel is the TorkLift Glow Step Revolution. This gives you stable footing and ground contact, but stores on the outside of your trailer in the traditional location. It gives you stability like the SolidStep without needing the interior space.

- TLA8103 Fitment on my 2018 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 263BHXL Yes the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear part # TLA8103 will work out well for you. Your entry height is right at the minimum meaning you will have shorter steps which is what you are looking for. You are likely closer to the 28-30" range because they go from the bottom of the door rather than the top of the step bracket itself. . They are also quite easy to operate when compared to a standard steel step. I have linked a video for you on them to check out if you...
view full answer... - Will the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps TLA8103 Fit a 25-3/8" Wide BracketThe mounting bracket spacings are an industry standard, so when we see our neighbors measure within 1/8"-1/4" of this industry standard we can usually narrow down what they have. The brackets sometimes have some movement in them and regardless, these 1/8"-1/4" discrepancies are usually attribute to different points of measuring, tape measure errors, etc. The TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps part # TLA8103 for all intents and purposes will fit a 25-3/8" wide mounting bracket.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Steps for 1977 Coachmen 5th Wheel TrailerI have a solution for you, but there is not a SolidStep model that will fit inside your 23" wide door. This particular step model requires a door frame at least 24" wide to find a compatible model and your 23" wide door is going to be just a hair too small. For reference, the smallest available Solid Step is the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC713662 which are designed for 24" wide doors. Instead, I recommend going with the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps # TLA8103 . These...
view full answer... - Pull Out Triple Step Setup for Forest River RockwoodThe mounting bracket width of the Triple Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps # SMFP-3100 is 28-1/8 inches. If your bracket with is 27 inches you'd need to have them removed and install wider outriggers with the part # LC301704. If you need a narrower step setup overall the # LC432696 is 27-1/2 inches or the Torklift GlowStep part # TLA8103 is 25-1/2 inches overall in width.

The closest product we have to those dimensions would be the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear # TLA8103. These steps have a 7-1/2 inch drop/rise with mounting base dimensions of 25-7/16 inches wide x 12 inches deep. I've attached a link to a video review of this product for you to take a look at.

view full answer... - Triple Step Option for an RV with 25 inches Mounting Bracket DimensionI really wish we carried a triple step that would mount up to your RV without any modification but it looks like the best option we could provide would be to get a triple step like the part # TLA8103. The mounting frame is 25-1/2" wide x 13-7/8" deep which will bolt up.

view full answer... - How to Pick Out Torklift Glowstep for 2018 Grand Design Reflection 337RLSThe trick to picking out a Torklift GlowStep for an RV is to base it off of the height of the door on the RV. If the doorway height is between 32-1/2 inches and 44 inches the part # TLA8104 is the correct fit. Most likely this is what you'd need but let's say you needed a shorter option the part # TLA8103 is for height range 25-1/2" - 36" and part # TLA8105 is for doorway height range of 39-1/2" - 52".

Instead, you'll need to use pull-out steps that mount outside the door, and for a 25-1/2" to 36" entry height I recommend the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps with Landing Gear # TLA8103.

- Aluminum RV Step Recommendation for Door Threshold Height of 24 inchesFor an aluminum 3-step that would work well for your threshold height near 24 inches you would want the # TLA8103 which is an aluminum 3-step that when folded up rests on the ground which will give you a very solid step platform.

If you wanted to make it work you could cut of the older brackets and use the # LC301704 to mount the new steps. If you'd rather just get ones to mount to the current brackets then we do have a few other options available.

It does require 27-1/2" of space for the mounting brackets. Both the # LC432690 and # LC432696 will be too big to fit your campers dimensions. TorkLift offers some options with a 25-1/2" mounting width: For a 18-1/2" - 28" entry height you'll want the TorkLift Glow Step # TLA8102.

For example, the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear # TLA8103 (which have a 25-1/2" base) or # TLA8003 (which have a 27-1/2" base) require you have an entry height between 25-1/2" and 36".

I have had the product for a year and still works as if they were just installed yesterday! They’ve gotten wet and dirty yet they still open and close easily. I went camping last week and walked up my friends OEM steps and I almost fell, plus my knees were hurting. Best purchase for my RV!
