Expert Answers about Trailer Steps


  • Will TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Vertical Stud Adapter Bracket # TLA8022 be Used to Mount Glow Step
  • You won't be able to use two steps at the same time, so you will need to remove the current step to install your Glow Step. You can save that step and reinstall on that trailer once you get a newer trailer to put your GlowStep on. From your picture, it looks like the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Vertical Stud Adapter Bracket # TLA8022 can be used to install your GlowStep.

  • Additional Step to Make Getting In and Out of 5th Wheel Trailer Easier
  • Steps such as # AS24 are not designed for permanent installation on a 5th wheel trailer. These steps are meant to be removed/installed when needed and you normally see them on in-bed campers. The other issue is that if you added permanent mount steps to your 5th wheel trailer the additional step could cause the whole assembly to hang too low and cause ground clearance problems while towing the trailer. The best solution is a separate step that you can carry with you in the trailer or...

  • How To Choose Correct SolidStep Manual Fold-Down RV Step for a Forest River R-Pod Travel Trailer
  • In order to determine a suitable SolidStep Manual Fold-Down RV Step for a Forest River R-Pod Travel Trailer you'll first need to measure the doorway width (inner most point to inner most point) followed by the threshold height (ground to floor of trailer where step mounts). The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down RV Steps part # LC713662 for example are designed for a doorway width up to 24" with a threshold height between 22" and 28". I have attached our full list of step options below if this...

  • Could the Econo Porch Trailer Step with Handrail # EHS-102-R be Used with Electric Step
  • The Econo Porch Trailer Step with Handrail # EHS-102-R is a fixed step setup that doesn't have any moving parts. It sits 21 inches off of the ground at the very top step. As long as you position the step near your trailer so that it doesn't interfere with your electric step it should fit and work well for you. The handrail dimensions are 25" deep x 37" tall (front) x 44" tall (back).

  • Depth of Flexco Manual Pull-Out Step Single SMFP-1120
  • The stored depth of this step from the center of the front mounting hole to the back of the slide bracket measures 11 inches. The height of the step will be 7 inches when it is stored. I have attached diagrams showing these measurements. To make sure this step will work for you, you will want to make sure that you have at least 11 inches behind the mounting location of the front bolt hole to install this step. As long as you have the 11 inches behind the front bolt hole, this step should...

There are 8 struts that are only bolted on one side of the steps. When you stand up the steps you will bolt the struts up with the 8 nuts and bolts to hold the steps in the upright position. The handle will then be attached with the 2 longer bolts that come with the steps.

  • Can a 3-Step Pull Out RV/Trailer Step Set be Used in Place of a Single Step
  • Is the overall width of the base 26 inches or is that the center to center distance between the mounting holes? Because if it is the mounting hole distance then steps # LC432687 will fit but the overall width is 27-1/2 inches. The other issue is that when you add additional steps it makes them closer to the ground when stowed. This reduces ground clearance and can result in loss of steps. An alternative is to use a portable step such as # S-150 that you can keep in the RV/trailer and...

  • Recommended Replacement Step for Travel Trailer
  • I recommend the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Step # TLA8102 for the biggest improvement in stability and comfort on your Aspen Trail. This USA-made steel and aluminum 2-step unit is compatible with your mounting brackets and your 26-inch frame-to-ground clearance. Since this step has built-in landing gear legs that stabilize the whole step you'll not send the trailer into motion each time you enter or exit, which can occur with simple pull out steps like # 953240RXWC3. Extra large...

  • Upgrading Lippert One-Step for Two-Step Manual Pull Out Steps For Trailer
  • The Lippert # LC432682 manual pull out two-step stairs is the closest match. Replacement steps only come in a few sizes. This step is 25-1/2" wide at the widest point. The next sizes are about 18" or 30". Using some washers seems like a good solution. You will likely have to drill new mounting holes to match your 3" on center holes. After that you will have a sturdy step rated for up to 300 pounds. The perfect compliment to these steps is the Camco # CAM42177 grab handle. I have these...

  • How Tall is the Highest Step of Econo Porch Trailer Step with Handrail # EHS-102-R
  • We don't know the threshold height of your Sunny Brook 34 ft 5th wheel but we can tell you that the overall height of the tallest step on the Econo Porch Trailer Step with Handrail # EHS-102-R is 20-1/2 inches. You'd have to compare that to the height of your door to know how big of a step that last one would be. Each of these steps has a drop of 7 inches.

  • Can 5-Step TorkLift GlowSteps be Used in Place of a 4-Step Unit on a 2016 Keystone Trailer
  • You could potentially use TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear - 5 Steps - 27-7/16" Base - 300 lbs Item # TLA8005 instead of a 4-step model. Choosing a set of these steps is based on the height of the unit once installed. According to TorkLift the optimal mounting height is measured from the ground to the top of the GlowStep Revolution Frame when the trailer is leveled on flat ground. For the 5-step model that height is 42-3/4 inches. The 4-step model # TLA8004 has...

  • Replacement 4-Step 5th Wheel Trailer Steps to Replace Steep 3-Step Type
  • You're correct that you need 5th wheel replacement steps to extend down from the mounting point the same distance as the original steps do. This will avoid loss of ground clearance which is an important safety consideration. Trailer makers typically do not provide detailed specs on components such as steps that are used in their products but you can use the linked page to see our range of 4-step scissor steps. Brophy step # AS24 is 24-inches wide like yours, offers a 7-7/8-inch step height...

Glow tape will create a lighted step surface for nighttime applications. The mounting base itself measures 27-7/16 inches wide and 12 inches...

  • Is the Tandem Axle Teardrop Trailer Fender Offered with Step in Front or Rear
  • The Tandem Axle Teardrop Trailer Fenders part # HP94VR don't have built-in step at the front or rear that is correct. If you're looking for a step here, I recommend simply adding a frame mounted step like the HitchMate Boat Trailer Step part # HE4036 or CE Smith Galvanized Steel Step part # CE26212G-15284GA. These are both very cost effective options and easy to install. They also won't damage the fender if anything happens either. The best part of all is that you can position them exactly...
