Alumi-Tread Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs - 9" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - Triple - Aluminum

These replaced the older model steps that were installed on my 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2150RB travel trailer. Those had the cast aluminum step frames which had corroded causing the paint to peel. The stainless steel bolts were seized in the aluminum steps so instead of fighting to take them apart I decided to replace them.

These steps are the specified replacement for my existing steps by both Lippert and Grand Design and look like they will bolt right in. Unfortunately the steps suffered minor scuffs and scratches during shipping that removed the paint. The steps are packed in a single wall cardboard box with nothing to prevent rubbing between the cardboard and the finish. In addition they weigh 60 pounds and the metal corners poke through the box and get bent over slightly during handling and transit. I am having to do metal straightening and touch-up paint to all of the damage paint areas before I can install them which is costing me an extra couple days of repair time. Luckily the damage was superficial but given the packaging for the steps it could have been much worse. I included photos showing wear through of the box and areas where I've primed damaged paint areas.1674794

The Alum-tread steps are the perfect replacement for the worn and rickety OEM steps on our fifth wheel. They are well built, easier to use and seem to be sturdier.
etrailer’s prices and service has always been exceptional. I recommend them and will order from them again.1208708

After a year of use the Alum-tread steps are still working well. I recommend this product.

We just got home and open up the box for these stairs. These stairs cannot be used. They are damaged in several areas and I have taken pictures.1643768

Yikes! I want to get this taken care of for you. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

Ordering process was easy!! The Website is well designed and user friendly, and the packaging came as ordered on time, and in perfect condition. I will recommend etrailer to anyone needing parts in the future!!1754541

Had a shoulder bolt break on my alumi-tread steps. Unable to find parts to repair them, I started looking for the best price I could find to replace them. On etrailer website I found some used steps that were the same as mine. After talking to Lazer, I decided to order a set that I could use for parts. They came very quickly, but on inspection I discovered that I could not use them for parts. Even though they had the same part number and looked the same, they were constructed differently. Online the steps were described as being scratched and dirty, but I decided that they didn't look any worse than the ones on my camper. Took me about an hour to remove the old steps and install the "new" ones. I would caution anyone in my situation to be careful, Lippert has made changes. Fortunately, the frame is identical and bolt patterns are the same. I feel fortunate that I didn't have to buy a new set of steps because of a broken bolt. My thanks to Lazer and etrailer!612617

After considerable use these steps are still working just fine,with no problems. Cant imagine why they were used.

I just recieved my steps in a lot quicker than i expected, etrailer even called to verify my address, because it was an RV park. The steps were delivered right to my site. I just installed them it took me 30 min, but I already previously moved the old steps. Since my last steps were the same brand different model it bolted right up. The biggest challenge is the can be awkward and heavy. I am very pleased so far with my first experience with etrailer!361075

The stairs were a great product. They have been sturdy. We lived inn the camper for 4 months this year.

As in the past, etrailer is the best. Always competitive pricing, fast processing and my product shows up fast. I had to replace the stairs on my 2003 Forest River Wildcat trailer and etrailer had the perfect replacement. And happily it was easy to replace, all the bolt holes are still the same after 18 years.760722

We use our trailer frequently and it doubles as a guest room at our home. Stairs are great. Prefer this type of stairs over the newer kind that stores inside the door. Just old fashion that way.

I will call tomorrow. Two braces are bent, one side is scratched up and no hardware to attach the steps1651124

Oh my goodness, what a disaster! I will have our customer service team reach out you about this. I am so sorry to hear it arrived in such condition.

THe package arrived sooner than expected and in good shape.2456719

The product what exactly what it was advertised as. The dimensions were spot on and were a help in making sure that I was getting an exact replacement. The new steps were also a lot easier to open and close than the original equipment on the trailer. I still have another set of the OEM steps on the trailer and will probably be replacing them with this product in the future.500848

The product what exactly what it was advertised as. The dimensions again were spot on. As with the first set, the new steps are a lot easier to open and close.

Steps are easy to install and is a great replica of the old steps on the rv
I am very pleased with the product and installation of the steps and o do recommend them1624389

I really like this step. Just the other day, I said what a joy it was to use compared to my old set. It glides open. One of the rubber strips fell off and I plan to glue it back in place.1638220

Replaced solid steps with fold down steps. I had to cut opening in my lower skirt as mine was a new installation. The fold down steps are great as was my experience with etrailer955367

Much better than the metal loud stairs that were on my trailer.1618538

The rear upper and lower support bars were slightly bent, probably in shipment, I used a sledge to correct that. the box was clear taped closed on one end instead of stapled as the other end was. After cutting the box for recycle and then installing I noticed that the center and lower step sat at a slight angle. Does not make them unusable just a little awkward feeling walking up them. I'll just have to right that off to water runoff in a rainstorm. The opening and closing is far better than the originals.1561652

Received next day great service. Took about an hour and half to install. Seem to be sturdy well made and price was good. Would purchase from etrailer again.665559

Used the the steps now for a year and it still works great, the new steps are made better and stronger then the original

This product arrived and had all the necessary parts to complete the install. The box is heavy and I had to load it into a wheelbarrow to move the box. The instruction did explain the installation procedure. A side not although we my wife and I were able to complete the procedure it would be better with two strong men. She is very happy with this third step and will make climbing into the trailer easier on our next trip.902410

I ordered these steps on Dec. 20 to replace the originals that I managed to mangle up. Was informed later that day by email and voice mail message that it was backordered until after Christmas and they would try to expedite. I received a shipment notice on Dec. 27, and the steps arrived yesterday (Dec. 29). So the customer service was great, they kept me informed throughout the process and delivery was free and fast. Very satisfied.

As for the steps themselves, they are exact replacements for the original, so installation was a breeze with four heavy duty bolts.463752

This was a replacement for Lippert steps that were original on my 2017 Grand Design.
it fit perfect. The difference is the original one was made out of cast iron and there's no way to repair them. The new one has a steel frame and if it breaks it can be welded. The handles or not on the original ones either. The new one is a much better product. Thanks!870959

First of all, We Love this step! I had considered one of the steps that tip up inside of the door. Am I glad I did't go that route! After a summer of camping and talking with people , I realized the tip in step needs to be cleaned off before flipping into the camper door. That style also needs to have the legs adjusted every time you set up a new campsite. With the LC432696 it flips down with a lite pull and the third step flips over with the smoothest motion. Its easy to keep clean and when wet it doesn't get slippery like other steps. The step is very sturdy and very well made. I would give it 5 move stars if I could! Thanks for a great step! Wayne610878
