Troubleshooting SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps Preventing Door From Closing on Travel Trailer
Question:
I have a 2018 Cherokee 274vfk trailer. The solid steps will not let me have them be flat to step on when lowered down. When I get the steps to be flat, the door will not close. What do I need to do to make them work. I have been thinking of removing them and installing the regular fold out steps because we are that dissatisfied with them.

Expert Reply:
What is the entry height of your 2018 Cherokee 274VFK? It sounds like the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps you currently have installed are possibly a little short and you need something a little taller.
For example, if you had the part # LC733931 this is a 2-step solution designed for an entry height of 22" - 28" but we also have the part # LC791572 which is a 3-step designed for an entry height of 27" - 36".
If you can let me know the entry height of your trailer as well as the part number for your steps I'd be more than happy to help troubleshoot your situation.
