Being somewhat disabled I had a hard time exiting my boat. With the help of these steps it is no longer an issue. These steps are solid. I used a small bumper receiver mounted unto the riser. Much easier to exit the boat now without the fear of missing my step on the trailer beam and falling or slipping. 390978

This two step hitch stair setup was exactly what I was looking for to provide easy access to our truck camper. The steps feel very solid and secure when going in and out of the camper. I bolted on some 2x10s to make the steps even a bit larger. I painted the wood and added antislip strips for safety. I also offset the wood steps a bit as our camper door is offset to the left. Silas the dog has no trouble going up and down these stairs! Great price for a great product! 258102

Step arrived in a cardboard box that was almost completely destroyed. There was no extra padding around all the sharp corners and therefore the sharp corners chewed right through the box. A little black spray paint will hide the scratches though so I suppose it is all here, still just a little bubble wrap would have solved this issue. The step is heavy, the step is big, the step is well constructed and when used as a step works well. When not used as a step though what do you do with it? Leaving it inserted isn't an option, loss of ground clearance is an issue so removing the step and placing it in the camper is the answer, I suppose. Remember the step is large and heavy and if it get wet and muddy it will be in your camper while moving to your next camping area. Because of this the step won't work for me very well, my fault though for not thinking it through. 872314

I think it will work on my truck. I have to put it in last hole when the gate is still on the truck. I think after I get a camper on the back these stairs will work very well. Only one problem, the bottom step is pretty high for me. I will have p. to get another little step to comfortably get to the bottom step. Also, the top step is very near the bumper but with some adjustment I think it will work out fine. thank you 794287

Steps and extender appear they will work well for my Ram 2500 with slide-in camper, having not loaded the camper to date. Unfortunately, the receiver on heavy duty Rams are 2 and 1/2 inches, so I needed to add a 2 inch reducer which doesn't fit as tightly, making the set up less rigid. But, this will be better than the bulky set of steps I used to carry and then hope for level ground on which to set them. 776295

Have not used them yet, just installed them. The length between steps are just right for a two step. The top plate fits just below the bottom of the license plate. I probably will add some anti-skid tape as they seem like they could be a bit slippery if muddy or wet. No play in them. I have a 3" receiver and got the adapter to 2", seems very solid. 736681

Previously, I used a step ladder to get up to the bed of the truck. I never felt the ladder was stable enough. Now that I am using this hitch step ladder, I can feel the strength of the metal and the stability in my steps which gives me a safe feeling. 717338

Ask the Experts about this Brophy Hitch Step
- Recommended Steps for Front of Boat TrailerIt sounds like you are trying to add some steps to the tongue of your boat trailer for help getting in the boat. If that is the case then only bolt-on option we'd have is the HitchMate Boat Trailer Step part # HE4036 which bolts onto the frame. The photo attached of the Hitch Stair with 2 Steps part # RHS2 is a custom installation in which the customer welded the shank to the frame but it is not designed for this purpose.

- Trailer Hitch Mount or Truck Bed Mount Step to Clear Lowered TailgateYou might be interested in the HitchMate TruckStep, # HE4045. The step extends out 23-1/2 inches from the face of the trailer hitch receiver. Depending on the position of the receiver and the length of the tailgate when down, this could work. We also have the nifty tailgate step, # CAB-SG, so you could use the tailgate to your advantage. I have included links to the right to videos on both of these steps for you.
view full answer... - Fit of Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps RHS2 with Open TailgateYou can measure the space between the underside of your open tailgate and the top of your hitch receiver tube to see if there is enough space for the Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps # RHS2. From the top of the step's 2-inch shank up to the top surface of the upper step the distance is 5-1/4-inches. If the bottom of your open tailgate is more than 5-1/4-inches above the top of the hitch opening then the tailgate will open with the step in place. Please refer to the linked photo. When...

- Stair Recommendation for a In-Bed Camper with Entry Door 48 Inches Up from the GroundThe 2-step # RHS2 is the only multi-step hitch mounted steps that I have seen. You might want to look at steps # TLA7806. You can attach these steps to the threshold and they will reach all the way to the ground when pulled out. They also feature glowing parts on each step so they are more visible at night. I have linked the installation instructions to the right for you. We also have # AS25 and # AS05 that can reach 48 inches.
view full answer... - Would the Hitch Stair part # RHS2 Work Well to Aid Getting In and Out of a Truck Bed CamperYes, since your camper is flush with the back of the truck bed of your 2007 Toyota Tundra the Hitch Stair part # RHS2 that you referenced would be an excellent way to help you get in and out of the camper. That's actually what this product was designed to do. To prevent theft of this product you may also be interested in the hitch lock part # e98880.
view full answer... - Will Trailer Hitch Mount Hitch Steps RHS2 Clear a Palomino Slide-in Camper in a Truck BedWhat you are going to want to do is wait until your husband is busy and then take a measurement on the truck and hitch. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the truck straight back to the distance required to clear the camper. If that measurement is less than 6-1/2 inches then the hitch stairs, # RHS2, will clear the obstruction. If it will not then you have some options. You can use a hitch extender. However, keep in mind that using a hitch extender will...
view full answer... - Truck Bed Step for 2013 Silverado That Works with Tailgate OpenThe bottom step of the Brophy Hitch Stair # RHS2 would still be usable with the tailgate down, but the top step would be blocked by the tailgate, so it might not be the best choice for you. In addition to the Hitch Stair, we offer several other options that might work for you. Bestop offers the Trek Step, part # B75300 which mounts under the vehicle, and will extend or retract with a push of the foot. It's really a slick system, you can see how it installs by clicking the provided...

That said, the step can indeed be flipped upside down but whether or not you would be able to use a closer hitch pin hole and clear your bumper/tailgate is not something I would be able to confirm. If your main concern is storage while not in use you might like the...

- Measurements of Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps RHS2 on Ram 1500 PickupThe way to determine if you will be happy with the fit of Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps # RHS2 on your Ram is to take note of the height of the top step relative to your receiver opening. The top step of this unit will be 5-1/4-inches above the top of the receiver opening on your Ram's hitch. The three hitch pin holes allow for flexibility in how close to the vehicle the step will be positioned. I went to our warehouse to measure these holes' positions relative to the top step. The...

- Dimensions Of Brophy Hitch Stair With 2 Steps For 2 Inch Trailer HitchesThe steps on the Brophy Hitch Stair part # RHS2 measure 6 x 17 inches. I have attached a photo of the hitch stair with the dimensions noted you can check out. The rise between the two steps measures 10 inches, and the top step is 5-1/4 inches above the top of the shank that slides into the 2 inch receiver. The bottom step is 3 inches below the bottom of the shank. This stair has a 250 lb weight capacity. I also recommend the pin and clip, part # PC3. If you are looking for a locking...

- How Much Does Brophy Hitch Stair part # RHS2 WeighThe Brophy Hitch Stair part # RHS2 that you referenced weighs 19 lbs.
view full answer... - Do You Measure Straight Up and Down to Choose RV/Camper StepsYou can measure straight down from the bottom of the door to the ground to choose stairs. A popular option is scissor steps. I have included a link to the options for you. We have 2 to 6 step models available with different heights.
view full answer... - Can I Leave the Tailgate On the Truck and Use the Brophy Hitch Stair # RHS2You do not have to remove the tailgate on your 1997 Ford F-150 to use the Brophy Hitch Stair, # RHS2. If you keep the tailgate down you will not be able to use the top step because it will be covered by the tailgate, but you can still use the lower step. If you are worried about the tailgate hitting the top step when it is down, you will want to measure the distance between your tailgate and the top of your trailer hitch receiver when the tailgate is down. As long as you have more than...
view full answer... - Can Hitch Stair Steps for 2 Inch Trailer Hitches be Left in Hitch While Driving 2001 Toyota TundraTechnically, you could leave the hitch stair steps, # RHS2, mounted in the hitch while you drive. But it is going to affect ground clearance since the lower step is several inches below the receiver. I advise also adding an anti-rattle device such as # RM-061.

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Step For Camper With Offset Door The trailer hitch mounted steps we offer are for the center of the truck and are not designed with an offset as you described your trailer has, but I may have an option that will work for you. I recommend the Econo Porch Trailer Step with Handrail and Landing, part # EHS-102-R. This has an overall height of 21 inches and the top landing measures 27 inches wide by 16 inches deep. This also features a handrail and has a weight capacity of 350 lbs. This would require assembling and disassembling...
view full answer... - Truck Bed Step for 2008 Ford F150 Usable With Tailgate OpenAnytime a hitch extender of any kind is used, the tongue weight capacity of the hitch (the amount of downward force that can safely be applied to the hitch) is cut in half. The further away from the hitch a load is moved, the more leverage is applied to the hitch. If this distance and weight applied becomes large enough, the extender, hitch accessory and the hitch can be damaged. In my opinion, the best step option for when the tailgate is down would be the Bestop TrekStep, part # B75302....
view full answer... - Available Hitch-Mounted Step That is Less Than 15-Inches WideWe do have many styles of hitch-mount step including 2-step models like # RHS2 (which is a bit too wide for you at 17-inches) as well as lighted steps like # BBS-1104L. For a good basic step that is less than 15-inches wide you might consider one of these: WeatherTech BumpStep # WT81BS1 Carr Mega Step # CARR190011 MaxxTow Hitch Extender with Step # MT70069 If you can tell me your vehicle year, make and model I might be able to offer additional custom-fit product options.
view full answer... - Top Step Height Above Shank on Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps RHS2I went to our warehouse to measure the Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps # RHS2. From the top of the shank tube to the top of the upper step the distance is 5-1/2-inches, as shown in the linked photo I prepared for you. From the top of the shank to the very bottom of the entire step assembly the distance is 6-1/2-inches.

- Hitch Step Recommendation with Step Lower than Hitch TubeI believe we have just what you are looking for. Check out the Brophy Hitch Step part # RHS2. This actually has two steps. One lower than the hitch shank and one that sits above it. This would not require any hitch adapters to get a step lower than the hitch tube. For a locking hitch pin we have the part # e98880 which would work well.
view full answer... - Would the Hitch Stair with 2 Steps part # RHS2 Clear the Rear Door of a 2012 Jeep WranglerYou will need to take one measurement to determine if the Hitch Stair with 2 Steps, part # RHS2 will fit on your 2012 Jeep Wrangler and allow you to swing the door open. You will need to measure the distance from the top of the hitch opening to the bottom of the door when it is swung open. If this distance is less than 5-1/4 inches the # RHS2 would clear your door.

view full answer... - 18 Hitch Extension that Can be Used in 2 inch HitchWhile the total extension that the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs # RHSE provides is 19-1/2 inches from the closest pin holes it is not designed for use as a standard type of hitch extension. This should only be used with the hitch stairs # RHS2. That said, we do have a similar hitch extender that provides 18 inches of extension and also fits 2 inch hitches with the Curt # C45796. Since this was designed as a hitch extender it will work great for the application it sounds...
view full answer... - Step to Help Dog Get Into Truck Bed with Tailgate Folded DownThe PortablePET Twistep Hitch Step # HE3045 would be a perfect solution for you and your dog. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that when this is extended out the step is put in a location that it will be very helpful. Since you have a larger dog the extra step of the # RHS2 I believe wouldn't be as necessary and also this would take up quite a bit more space to store when not needed. Especially with a hitch extender as well.

- Outside Diameter of Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted StairsThe outside diameter of the receiver portion for the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs # RHSE is about 2-1/2" while the shank portion (that fits in your vehicle's hitch receiver) is about 2". Please note that this was designed to be used with the Brophy Hitch Stairs # RHS2 and hasn't been tested or approved as the base of a bike rack. If you let me know what bike rack you have I can see if we have a replacement part for it.

- Recommended Truck Bed Step for 2017 Ford F-250I may have a solution for you, however the Bestop TrekStep Side Mounted Truck Step # B7540315 referenced in your question will not work for your 2017 Ford F-250. There is not a custom truck bed step currently available that will fit your truck. I instead recommend looking into a hitch mounted step like the Brophy Stair with 2 Steps # RHS2. This will slide right into a 2 inch hitch receiver to provide you with two steps for easy access to your truck bed. It features 3 hitch pin holes...
view full answer... - How to Use a Hitch Step in a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer HitchI have a solution for you but there are not hitch steps that have a drop and fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch. First you will need a reducer sleeve such as # C45405. Then you could use hitch step # RHS2 which is 2 steps with the first step with a drop below the hitch receiver. None of the other steps really have a drop with the exception of # HE4045 or # HE4037.
