Very impressed with quality. Very good communications throughout shipping. No other step like it.

Exceptional fast serviceLove the steps. Exactly as described. They shipped UPS Express at no extra charge. Thank You!



by:

Well made, correct height for my ram 4x4. very happy with product.



by:

Fast shipping!!! I think the item shipped 2 hours after I placed the order. Looks to be a good strudy product. I jumped up and down on it and it feels good. I did put some grip tape on it with Winter being here but other than that this is a great company. Will do businees again.



by:

Steps for Truck CamperThey fit the receiver nice and snug and they are sturdy. Keep your weight in the center and they will last forever. I also had some grip tape so I used it to make sure there were no slips. These are painted metal so you could slip if feet are wet or muddy. Both things happen when your camping. I noticed ETrailer.com has the grip tape also so if you don't have any get it from them.



by:

Great step if you don't want to drill into your truck camper for installation of scissors style steps. It was delivered to my house within a few days. Great product and service from etrailer.com



by:

Very satisfied with the steps! I have a 4x4 so the bottom step is a little high off the ground, but the top step is in line with the truck bed. So we can step directly into the camper. When it's fitted to the hitch with the last hole, it can be left on while driving. It tended to wiggle a bit, so I put a wedge in the small gap where it fits into the receiver.
There was nothing on the internet that I could find that compares to these steps. Happy camper!



by:

I am 67 with well used knees so climbing up and down from the truck bed was very difficult and not very safe. I received these stairs and popped them on the hitch. I have a Ridgeline so I could open the tailgate from the side and it cleared the step with plenty of room so I could use both steps. I climbed up and climbed down with no real effort and felt more than safe from falling or injuring a knee. It is small enough and light enough to put in the bed storage box so it is was the perfect solution to my problem of getting into and out of the truck bed.

This is perfect. Im 68, my knees are bad and this makes the difference between getting in and out of the truck bed or not, just that simple. I have a Ridgeline with front and rear lift kits so the truck sits about 3 inches higher with oversized tires also. The steps are light enough and compact enough to keep in the in-bed storage compartment.



by:

The steps are spaced well, strong (I’m 300lb test) and easy to install and remove. A great accessory to have for easy access to the bed of my Cache Camper truck/camper.



by:

Overall I'm happy with the product. I use it for steps to get in my camper. It's fairly lightweight and small. I can leave it on the vehicle when I'm driving, or take it off if I want a smaller footprint for parking. I have a license plate camera (since my tailgate is off, so my factory camera is removed) and for the most part the camera view is not obstructed by the step.

The build quality is pretty bad. I didn't feel like going through the hassle of return the product, but the top step is tilted quite a bit (see picture). It's just sloppy manufacturing. I'll live with it, but it's the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.

Update: I ended up talking to etrailer, and they sent me a replacement, and the build quality of that one is good. It couldnt have been easier to exchange. etrailer did a great job. Still happy with the performance and functionality.

Not only is the step very high in quality, it was the fastest from order to delivery I have ever experienced. The 2 steps are perfect to get into my camper (Ford f250 on 19" tires and rims). I highly recommend

We bought a new SUV and the fold-out, hitch mounted single step wasn't cutting it for our 115 lb. 10-yr old dog. This unit makes it more like using regular stairs and will be a great help for our roadtrips.



by:

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.

This product is a life saver! After having stumbled off a small step ladder to exit my truck camper - resulting in knee surgery - I thought NEVER AGAIN! These steps are solid, stable and DEPENDABLE! Knee surgery is not how one needs to start retirement!

Thanks for a great SAFE product!!

@Brian Good idea, Brian. Thanks for sharing!

I came upon a reference to this product while searching on line for a receiver-mounted platform to replace the folding step stool we had been using to enter our Four-Wheel camper. It appeared to be just what we needed, and I found that it was an almost perfect fit. The top step is at nearly the same level as the step built into the bumper of our 2001 GMC Sierra, so this provides a large level place for our feet when we are exiting the camper. With the step unit inserted into the receiver with the middle hitch pit hole aligned, there is only a very small gap between the top step and the bumper step. I am not sure yet if we will be traveling with the steps in place, but I did install reflective red tape on the back edges of both steps, and on each side of the lower step, so that it is more visible. Be aware that the mounting bar of the step unit is not a tight fit in the receiver, so there is some movement when weight is placed off-center on the steps. Wrapping tape around the mounting bar, or perhaps inserting shims, might improve this situation.



by:

I like it! I use my '55 Grumman (Doughboy) for camping and was looking for an alternative to carrying around a stool/step to put on the ground. I came across this Hitch Stair and I already had a 2" receiver on Doughboy, so figured I'd give it a try.
I was going to make one myself, but didn't want to take the time.
It does have a little "wobble" in it, but that could also be my receiver. I just carry a couple of wooden shims with me to make it steady and it works just fine.
I recommend it!



by:

Great set of stars! Very well made and easy to attach.

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!



by:

Although I have the aluminum four step from etrailer for my pickup camper on a one ton, when traveling I often go in the camper and hang on while gingerly stepping on the bumper inset for the license plate. I am not getting younger and this has made all the difference in ease of use and safety.



by:

Very solid and heavy duty! Works great for my 2500HD with Four Wheel Camoer



by:

My truck bed camper is so easy to access with hitch stair and extender. Having them has finished off my project perfectly. Thanks



by:

Great solid steps, with a wider safer platform than ladder type steps.

  • Measurements of Brophy Hitch Stair with 2 Steps RHS2 on Ram 1500 Pickup
    The 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...

  • What Hitch Extender/Adapter Do I Need for My Reese Winch?
    I have a solution for you. The receiving end of the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs # RHSE is only designed to fit Brophy Hitch Stairs # RHS2. Unfortunately, they will not be able to accommodate your Reese winch that is compatible with a 2-inch receiver. With that being said, if you need a hitch extender that will fit with your winch and allow for an additional accessory, I recommend the MaxxTow Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 10" Long # RM-077-10.

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.

  • Recommended Steps for Front of Boat Trailer
    It 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.

  • Stair Recommendation for a In-Bed Camper with Entry Door 48 Inches Up from the Ground
    The 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.

  • Outside Diameter of Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs
    The 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.

  • Step to Help Dog Get Into Truck Bed with Tailgate Folded Down
    The 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.

  • Can I Leave the Tailgate On the Truck and Use the Brophy Hitch Stair # RHS2
    You 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.

  • Distance Between Slat Openings in the Deck of Flint Hill Goods Aluminum Cargo Carrier with Ramp
    The spaces between the slats in the deck on Flint Hill Goods cargo carrier # FHG69ZR are about 1-1/2 inches wide. That would be fine for a pup the size of your German Shepherd. I think the carpet is a really good idea. But if your primary reason for wanting this cargo carrier is to enter/exit the camper in the truck bed then I recommend some hitch steps such as # RHS2. I have linked a video review of this product for you. Hitch mount cargo carriers are not meant to stand or walk on,...

  • Trailer Hitch Mount or Truck Bed Mount Step to Clear Lowered Tailgate
    You 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 Truck-Pal Fold-Up Bed Ladder, Item # 10-3000. This ladder stores on and folds down from the tailgate, making it easy to get in and out of your truck bed. I have included links to the right to videos on both of these steps for you.

    You can take a quick measurement to determine the amount of clearance you need for a hitch mounted cargo carrier on your Ram 2500 with the Camper. Just use a straight edge like a yardstick or dowel and place it vertically against the back of your camper letting it extend below the trailer hitch. Then measure form the center of the hitch pin hole to the straight edge. That is the amount of clearance you need for any hitch mounted accessory to clear your camper. One of the larger cargo...

  • Truck Bed Step for 2013 Silverado That Works with Tailgate Open
    The 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 link.

  • Can Hitch Stair Steps for 2 Inch Trailer Hitches be Left in Hitch While Driving 2001 Toyota Tundra
    Technically, 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.
