• I would be happy to help you determine if 4 step RV steps will fit your 2008 Forest River Cardinal LE 5th wheel trailer, but I will need to know the entry height of your RV and the width and depth of the space underneath the doorway. The entry height of your RV is measured from the top edge of the mounting location to the ground while on a level surface as shown in the included picture.

• Replacement Tail Light With License Plate Light Built In
• I recommend using the RV Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn, License Plate - Rectangle - Red Lens - Driver Side - Black Base # RVSTB61, which is a multi-function tail light with a license plate light built in.

• From previous customers with Cardinal 31LE campers the correct brake assembly size you'd need is 12 inch by 2 inch and the set I would recommend is the etrailer part # AKEBRK-7-SA which is a self adjusting set that will work really well and also not break the bank. This is definitely what I would use if it was my trailer.
