Expert Answers about Trailer Steps


  • Is There a CE Smith Trailer Fender Step Mount Bracket Wider Than 3?
  • I have a different product that may help you as the CE Smith Galvanized Steel Step # CE26212G at 3" wide is the widest that CE Smith makes. The HitchMate Boat Trailer Step # HE4036 has a 9" long by 5" wide step pad. It also uses a non-slip step surface to reduce the risk of sliding off the step. This step will bolt to trailer frames up to 3" wide and 5" tall.

  • How To Correctly Measure For Trailer Steps For RV
  • Before I can find you the correct stairs with handrail I would need you to take a few measurements for me. You will first need to start by measuring the width of your current step assembly, followed by the height from step to step. Next you will want to measure from the center of the step assembly at the crossbar to the diagonal line at the edge of the bottom stair. For example The Econo Porch Trailer Step with Handrail and Landing # EHS-103-R when assembled is 28 inches wide and 61...

  • Upgrading to 2 Steps on a 2017 Salem Cruise Lite 201BHS
  • We don't have a way of knowing exactly which steps are currently on your trailer however you can use any that you like and will fit. If you measure the mounting bracket of your current steps you can use that to find a replacement. For example, the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps # SMFP-2100 have a mounting bolt hole pattern of 24-1/2 inches wide by 7 inches deep. The steps themselves are 24 by 9 inches.

  • Recommend Hand Rail For A 2 Step Airstream Trailer
  • The Stromberg Carlson Rail Mate Folding Handrail for RV Steps - 38 inch - 250 pounds # AP-101 will not work for your two step Airstream trailer, because it is for a 3-4 step setup.

It has a quick and easy installation which you just bolt onto your coach's wall studs. The rail dimensions are 14-1/2 inches wide by 26-1/2 inches tall and has a 1 inch rail diameter....

  • How To Determine What RV Steps Is Needed For My Trailer?
  • While we do not have a taller option like the Econo Porch Trailer Step w/ 2 Handrails and Landing # EHS-103-R-HR that is available we do have other alternatives.

  • How To Choose The Correct Steps For My Trailer?

  • Will the Lippert Solid Step RV Steps Work With an Airstream Trailer?
  • Yes they will, however there are a couple of measurements that are going to need to be taken first in order to determine which steps will work.

  • I have a great solution for you to use a hitch step with your 2-1/2" hitch.
