  • Recommendation For Adding A Two Step Manual Step To 1989 Honey RV
  • The Lippert Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs - Double - 7" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - Steel - 300 lbs # LC432682 are a great option for your 1989 Honey RV. I recommend using the Lippert Outriggers for Manual RV Steps # LC301704 to give more stability to the mounting of these steps. You can use the Mounting Hardware for Lippert Electric and Manual RV Steps # LC118155-72 for this installation.

  • Overall Side To Side Dimensions Of Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps
  • The problem is that the overall measurement at 27-5/8 inches is from the end of the rod that extends out on both sides. The 26-1/8 inches is the dimension of the mounting brackets at the top of the steps. I have attached a photo with dimension noted of the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps # SMFP-2100 you can check out.

  • Carrying Electric Bikes on My RV Bumper
  • While the Swagman 4 Bumper Mounted Bike Rack # S80600 has a total capacity of 120 lbs, it also has a per bike capacity of 30lbs. That means the individual mounting points for each bike is not rated for bikes heavier than 30lbs. Thankfully, bike rack technology has improved in recent years and we have more options for you! I recommend using a bumper hitch receiver like the Curt RV Bumper Hitch # E-100. This fits around 4" square bumpers and has a 350 tongue weight capacity. For a bike...

  • Availability Of Foot Pad/Boot For The MORryde StepAbove RV Steps
  • Hello Janet. That is actually a really good idea for a product. Unfortunately, MOrryde does not make any kind of rubber boot or cap to go on the feet of the steps. The idea is to protect the foot, keep them from getting scratched and increase friction, right? I feel like coming up with your own rubberized protector would not be too hard. I have seen rubberized tape like "flex tape" at stores. I would cut a piece of that to fit the bottom and/or sides of the foot. This way the foot will...

  • Weight of Aluminum and Steel Brophy 4-Step Camper Scissor Steps

  • Recommended SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for a 24 Wide Camper Door Frame
  • The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC678044 that you referenced is for RV doorways that are about 30" wide. Since the door on your camper is 24" wide inside the frame you want part # LC678040 instead which is built specifically for RV doorways that are 24" - 26" wide.

  • Solution for Stepping Up Into Truck Camper with Cargo Carrier Attached
  • While the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2205 does feature a robust 450 pound weight capacity, I can't recommend standing in or using it as a step. It may be able to hold the weight of a person but it's still going to be relatively unstable and may lead to injury. What you could use tough is a hitch step like the Buyers Products # 3371804017 that will slide into your existing 2 inch trailer hitch receiver and provide another 2 inch receiver on the other end for the Cargo Carrier. In between...

  • Recommended Pet-Friendly Step for Use with Truck Camper
  • A camper step assembly needs to mount to a surface strong enough to support its weight load plus that of a person (or beloved pooch) on the step. Usually this mounting point will be a structural element or a frame member. If you can see behind the desired mounting point to confirm that there is enough (and strong enough) material behind/under it then you may be able to use that alternate mount. We do not have access to construction details on the camper to allow us to tell for sure. Another...

  • Recommended RV Steps for Extending While Inside the Camper
  • For your RV, the Hickory Springs Manual Pull-Out Steps for RV 982240RFXWC1 you referenced are not able to be retracted and extended from inside the camper. You just need to extend them from the outside before entering your camper and leave them extended so you can safely exit as well. If you want steps that can extend and retract, you will need to get the compatible electric steps with the door switch. For this, I recommend the Lippert Components Kwikee 32 Series Double Tread Electric...

  • Recommended Camper Steps For Evergreen Trailer
  • Since the distance from the bottom of your door sill is 30 inches I recommend steps like part # AS23. These steps are 24-inches wide and 8-1/2 inches deep. These steps are designed to expand from 24 to 30-inches. The mounting bracket and screws are included. Just secure the bracket to your camper and clip the stairs into the "V" clamps on the mounting bracket. Since you said you have a steel beam, you will need to drill into the frame to mount the step bracket.

  • Recommended RV Steps For A Truck Bed Camper With A 53" Entry Height
  • The best option we currently offer to fit a 53" entry height is going to be the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear # TLA7836. These steps come with adjustable landing gears so that you can adjust to uneven terrain and have a sturdy footing and prevent that wobbly feeling you can get with standard truck bed camper steps.

  • Do MORryde StepAbove RV Steps MR26RR Fit 24 Inch Wide Doorway
  • The doorway width - the width from flange to flange of your doorway - needs to be between 23-3/4 inches and 26-1/4 inches, so yes, your 24 inch door will allow you to use the MORryde steps you asked about, which are the following part number: - MORryde StepAbove RV Steps - 2 Steps # MR26RR The only other thing you need to be sure of is the entry height (which is measured from the doorway threshold on your camper to the ground), as the # MR26RR is for entry heights measuring from 25 inches...

  • Picking Out the Correct Step Rug Covers for a 5th Wheel
  • In order to correctly measure for steps, you'd just need to measure the doorway width and the entry height and make your selection based off of these measurements. Seeing as though you've already got steps however, you'd just need to find steps that have the same measurements. The Prest-O-Fit Wraparound Exterior RV Step Rug - Straight # PR83SR you were looking at are step rugs that are meant to fit onto your steps to product them from damage. Since the # PR83SR is meant for 23-1/2"...

  • Lippert SolidStep RV Steps for Camper with a 23-3/4" Doorway Measurement and 22-3/4" Entry Height
  • We do have a Lippert SolidStep that will fit, but the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 25" - 28-7/8" Wide RV Door Frames # LC733931 are not the correct ones. Instead, you will want to use the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 24" Wide RV Door Frames # LC713662.

  • How Do The Steps Work With The Solera Family Room Skirting On The Camper?
  • When you install the camper side panel of the Solera Family Room # LC362230 you will be trimming out an opening for the steps to pass through. I have attached a link to the installation instructions below but here is a picture for you to understand what it will look like. A set of MORryde StepAbove RV Steps # MR68RR are a great way to have steps without having to worry about cutting the panel.

  • Recommended 6-Step Scissor Steps for RV
  • The largest Brophy Camper Scissor Step Assembly we currently have available is the 5-Step # AS25. These are 8-3/4 inch deep and 24 inch wide aluminum camper steps that can expand from 40 inches to 48 inches tall. The mounting bracket and hardware are included for an easy installation on your RV.

  • Availability of Scissor Steps That Mount Underneath the Camper
  • The mounting bracket on the Brophy Aluminum Scissor Steps, part # AS24, is 25 inches long and 1-1/2 inches wide and should be placed 1/8 inch below the lowest part of the door on your RV for installation. The steps I have that are made to bolt or weld onto the trailer frame are the Stromberg Carlson brand. They will only have single, double, and triple steps. I am including a link to a product page that will list all of the Stromberg Carlson steps I have available. I also have the Outriggers...

  • Fold Down Steps For a 2013 Forset River Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8281WS
  • From my research and experience installing steps on fifth wheel campers your 2013 Forest River Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite Fifth Wheel the door opening should be 30" to 36". If I am correct I recommend SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 30" to 36" Wide RV Door Frames - Quad - Aluminum Item # LC791575. Most fifth wheel campers sit a little higher. Having the fourth step ensures the bottom step is not too far from the ground. The steps have adjustable legs for un-level terrain so you...
