How To Choose The Correct Steps For A Truck Bed Camper
Question:
What kind of steps should I look at for our Oakland 10’ truck camper?
asked by: Teri F
Expert Reply:
For a truck bed camper you'd want to look at scissor steps like the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear # TLA7834. Models like this can easily close up to save space and have landing gears to help add stability, even on uneven ground. While the camper is in the bed of your truck you'll need to measure from the point that you want to mount the steps down to the ground to get your entry height. You'll also want to measure the area that you plan on mounting the steps to ensure there's enough room for the mounting bracket.
The # TLA7834 I referenced has an entry height range of 31" to 42" and recommends an area of at least 23" wide and 3-1/2" tall for the mounting bracket to fit. Once we know your dimensions we can pick out the appropriate steps for your camper.
