Question:

Yes, the Lippert SolidStep Fold-Down Steps like the Triple # LC791573 that you referenced will absolutely allow the trailer door to be closed when they're folded down for use. Like you mentioned in your question this will keep the inside safe from the elements while you're settled into your camping area and the steps are down for normal use.

I have attached a customer-submitted image of their 4-Step model installed with the trailer door closed, just so you can get a good picture of it in this position.
