Steps work great, look great and priced right. Love them. I will be using them with my truck camper. They are the perfect height.
Step wobbles when you step at it's left and right sides. I tried shimming left right and bottom of the hitch which helped. I had though that it needs an angled split in the part that goes into the hitch with a draw bolt that pulls the 2 split halves towards each other allowing the size to grow and tighten into the hitch receiver. I thought about drilling a hole into receiver and welding a 5/8" nut onto side of receiver to tighten a bolt into the tongue of the step. I like the split tapered idea better as I would not be compromising the hitch integrity. I switched back to folding stair and do not use the step.
Item delivered 1 day earlier than quoted.. gotta love the E-trailer system...the product fits perfectly, the price was competitive, along with free delivery, how can you lose....thanks To all at E- trailer

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
Great product! E-trailer is a great company and I love the website showing tracking etc would highly recommend
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.
They work perfectly with our camper
It's great but you should make an offset option. I ended up cutting mine and welded an offset "jog" since my camper door is not in the center of my tailgate. Other than that it's great.
Fits perfect & realy helps getting in & out of campershell.

Use it all the time getting in & out while campimg,thumbs up??
Works as advertised! I didn’t have to drill holes or attempt to install step underneath. Just pop it in and all good. I’m 61 so not getting any younger! :-)
Just what I was looking for for my back bus steps.
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.
My truck bed camper is so easy to access with hitch stair and extender. Having them has finished off my project perfectly. Thanks
Worked great! Not exactly what it was designed for, but I modified it for a boat step, for trailer.

Still perfect use for my application
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!
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!
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.
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.

A year later, still a wonderful addition to my pickup camper.
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.

Very fast shipping, great experience
It’s well made and helps getting into my truck camper. You can’t leave it in the truck when you’re driving though.
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.

Great, still solid and no flex
It showed up on time and as advertised. It is the perfect fit on the receiver hitch to step up into our new camper.
Excellent to get on the flatbed of my Ram 5500. Adding a hitch stabilizerto get the wiggle out to make it 5 stars
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.

This step unit has been a godsend on many, many occasions. I have cut it and rowelled it twice to make it optimal for 2 different vehicles with different receiver heights. I also added 2 x 8 boards with stair treads and even an old dog can traverse them just as easily as the house steps. Great results from a great starting foundation.
Do you have a question about this Hitch Step?

At first I was not fond of the step! the 10 step is way too large. Most step averages in a home run 7-14. I let the item set for 6or more months. Finally I decided to use the item as parts and make mu own custom step. I ground off the weld from the hitch tube, rewelded the placement from the hitch to my top step to match my needs being 7 below rear truck camper rear porch. We then cut and rewelded the lower step to be 7 below upper step. I tried and loved this, but the centerline of the hitch does not match the centerline of the camper door. Next modification we cut the welds from the steps to main center steel structure. we offset the steps to the right leaving 3 overhang at left of main support. The top step was very stable, but bottom step required additional steel bar welded to the original frame, and 2 14 rods at an angle projecting out to support the bottom step from flexing. Now that I have modified the original to my needs. I LOVE THE STEP . It provided me with incredible parts. By the way, the step does not wobble now as all pressure is on one side, not shifting from right to left as you go up it.
