Upgraded RV Entry Steps For 5TH Wheel 40" To Floor With Only 1/8" From Bottom Of Door To Threshold
Question:
MR28RR My fifth wheel threshold dimensions are shorter than what it says. As in under 1/2inch . Therefore the door to threshold clearances are short as well. Im looking for a four step solution for my unit. Door width flange to flange = 28 1/8” Height ground to threshold=@40” Threshold top to floor under 1/2” Threshold to bottom of door under 1/8”

I recommend installing the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps # TLA8004 on your 5th wheel. Due to the low threshold size and only having 1/8" from the bottom of your door to the top of the threshold you will not be able to use a fold in step like the MORryde # MR28RR. I actually prefer the TorkLift as it keeps any dirt tracked on the steps outside your 5th wheel when folded up. The steps do go all the way to the ground when you pull them out providing for a solid feel. The steps also glow in the dark providing for safer entry and exit at night.
A TorkLift GlowGuide Handrail # TLA7621 provides a positive handrail which you can use going all the way up and down the stairs.
