Expert Answers about RV and Camper Steps

• Scissor Step for Slide-In Camper in 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4x4
• The Brophy 4-Step Camper Scissor Steps # AS24 work with campers that have an entryway height of 31 to 39-inches. So long as your camper's threshold is within this height range above level ground this step will work fine. If your camper's door height is lower, in the range of 24 to 31-inches, then instead you can use the similar 3-step unit # AS23. Both of these steps are rated for 300-lbs and are only to be used while your vehicle is stationary. They should not be mounted permanently....

• Comparing Brophy AS25 and TorkLift TLA7506 Camper Scissor Steps
• The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS25 have 7-inches of rise between steps and an extended height of 40-48-inches. The TorkLift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps # TLA7506 have 7-1/2-inches of rise between steps and a mounting bracket height of 49-1/2-inches when extended. The reason the two steps have a similar overall height, despite having a different number of steps, is that the Brophy steps are almost 1-1/2-times as deep at 8-3/4-inches versus 6-inches for the TorkLift. The most important...

• Comparing Camper Scissor Steps Brophy AS24 vs. Torklift TLA7804
• Both the Brophy # AS24 and the TorkLift # TLA7804 are easily removed when not in use- and it's actually recommended that you do so. Additionally, they both weigh in around 26-lbs total, so they're easy to move on and off; so they'd both be great choices for what you're looking for. Overall I prefer the TorkLift # TLA7804 because of the quality of TorkLift products in general, plus you'll have the ability to add the All Terrain Landing Gear for TorkLift GlowStep Scissor Steps for RVs #...

• Comparing Installations Of Camper Tie-Downs For a 2013 Ram 1500 With 6-1/2' Bed
• First of all the board or step underneath truck bed is referring to nerf bar or step that extends past the cab of your 2013 Ram 1500 to where it can also be used for accessing items in your bed. These will look like the Westin R5 Modular Nerf Bars # 28-534310. There are really 3 different types of tie down anchors used for anchoring a slide in truck camper. Really a good, better, best comparison. The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSSF are the good anchors. These anchors are the...

• Comparing MORryde StepAbove RV Steps and Lippert SolidStep RV Steps
• The biggest differences between the MORryde StepAbove RV Steps # MR48RR and Lippert SolidStep RV Steps # LC791572 is that the MORryde is made in the USA and it has pins on the hinge plate so you can easily disconnect the steps and gain access to the inside if your trailer is parked too close to another trailer, like what you might find at a storage facility. Aside from that pretty much all of the other features are the same when it comes to size, weight, fitment, ease of use, and the ability...

• TorkLift Frame-Mounted Truck Camper Tie-Downs versus Clamp-On Type for 2017 Ram 1500
• A frame-mounted camper tie-down system will generally be a better option than a clamp-on type since it uses the strength of the truck's frame to secure the slide-in camper. For your 2017 Ram 1500 we have a number of such frame-mount kits from TorkLift that appear on the linked page. The fit of the front and rear tie-downs depends on the truck's overall configuration including bed length, hitch type and whether or not there is a step under the bed. You can use the Select Vehicle Style...

• Comparing Lippert 35 Series Electric RV Step Units
• The four Lippert 35 Series RV electric step items are essentially the same product but they differ in some of the included components. In certain cases the original electronic control unit on the RV unit may still be functional and only the step and motor are needed. Part # LC3691462 includes the step, motor and switch kit. Part # LC369146 includes the step, motor and control unit. Part # LC3756271 includes the step, motor and switch kit. Part # LC3691461 includes the step, motor, control...

• Recommended Tire Step For Increased Height When Loading And Unloading
• I recommend the HitchMate TireStep Adjustable Step for SUVs, RVs and Light Trucks - 22" x 10" - 400 lbs, # HE4040 over the Powerbuilt Adjustable Tire Step for SUVs, RVs, and Trucks - 300 lbs # ALL647596. I prefer the HitchMate because the actual step is 3 inches deeper and that gives a little more support. The weight rating is 100 lbs more which makes it feel stonger, and it comes with a bag to store or carry it.

• Differences Between MORryde StepAbove Fold-Down Steps MR98RR and MR48RR

• Comparing Lippert Kwikee 26 Series Electric RV Steps for a 2020 Jayco Greyhawk Motorhome
• The difference between the Kwikee 26 Series Electric RV Step # LC371136 and # LC3711363 is that the 363 comes the switch kit while the 136 doesn't come with the switch kit. Unfortunately just the frame isn't available so if you have pretty much everything already you'll want to go with the part # LC371136. I confirmed all of this with Lippert. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

• Is Hollywood Racks HLY64FR RV Rider or HLY 74FR SportRider SE Better for Step-Thru Frame Bikes
• Either rack would work well for you, assuming that you're planning on using the rack on a passenger vehicle with a 2 inch receiver hitch. That being said, one of the racks will work with your step-thru bike right out of the box, the other will require that an accessory be used. The primary difference between the racks is how they hold the bike's frame. The # HLY64FR RV Rider can hold the bike frame at the seat post tube or the top tube, which makes it ideal for bikes with step through...

• Comparing Kwikee Lippert # LC3474453 VS # LC3747451
• In comparing Kwikee Lippert # LC3474453 VS # LC3747451 electric steps (28 Series), I find that the 451 is a basic electric step that goes in or out based on an in-cab switch only. The 453 model additionally includes a control unit, and magnetic door switches that automate extending and retracting the steps. As you mentioned, the 453 has a step light as well.
