Can Stow N' Go Scissor Steps be Installed on Camper Without a Bumper
Question:
Installing stow n’ go steps on Bigfoot 25c10.6 with no bumper. I have a basement model truck camper from 2006. It has a recessed bumper and the current scissor step hooks onto a bracket above a basement door. Has anyone done an install video on a similar older model Bigfoot?

While we do not have a video of these steps being specifically installed on your camper I took a look at the instruction manual, which is also linked, and there is a method for installing these steps on a camper that does not have a bumper. You would need to remove your current bracket and it would require a 19.5" x 3.5" mounting area below the door.
The mounting bracket for each of these steps is 21-1/2" wide x 8-1/2" deep but its height is going to differ depending on the model you need; the height ranges are 12-1/2", 14-1/2", 17-1/2" and 19-1/2".
The correct model of Stow N' Go will depend on the entry height from your doorway to the ground.
