From the photos I've seen of your 2015 FR Shasta Flyte 215CK, it looks like you need a 2-step unit.

To identify the correct replacement, you'll want to determine the width of the mounting base of your existing steps.

If that base is about 27-1/2 inches, the Flexco # SMFP-2100 would be a good choice.

If the base is around 25-1/2 inches in width, go with the Lippert # LC432682 or for a 23-5/8 inch mounting base width, use the Flexco # SMFP-2120.

The CR Brophy # AS23 steps you referenced would likely be too tall for your travel trailer.
