Hitch Stair with 2 Steps for 2" Trailer Hitches

by: Chas Youngs08/14/2017

Well as a truck camper owner the big, big thing is always getting up into the rig. These steps are highly talked of online. I like them and knew they would solve my entering problem. They did....but they are very awkward and bulky to travel with.... I actually think they should make them break down for tvavel... etrailer.com....seemed to work hard to ship my order fast and etrailer seems to be very willing to work hard at reasonable prices... .So, I must try to help etrailer on this one honest mistake..... When my order shipped, etrailer combined my two items..one BIG BuLKY. Awkwad set of steps.....with my hitch-lock that goes in it.... Well the awkward steel steps ripped and gashed its cardboard box in about 3 or 4 areas. There was no packing foam or bunched news paper... This poor master hitch lock hadn't a chance.....it rattled around on the steps and got bashed out of its little box......and out of its internal bag....and its little set of keys likely went bye bye out one of 4 big box gashes..... So, now I need to... somehow get new keys to this lock...it is useless as is..... If etrailer can send keys the key number is on the box as : 1480 KA. Key:0501. If etrailer sends me a working hitch-lock with keys... my problem is solved... Aside of this unfortunate happening, I am happy with the price and quality and service that eTrailer has delivered...I just need this one little issue fixed to give etrailer 5 Stars.! Thank You for your concern Chas Youngs Poughkeepsie, NY 420012

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. 142229

Hi, Shipping was fast. I believe the stairs are going to work great. The height is perfect. They are a little wobbly but I was thinking if I just find the right item to fit in the crease that will do the trick. Also was thinking I would get some sort of rubber edging so I don't bang up my shins. The receiver lock will ease my mind for the stairs not to walk away too easily. Thank You. 213348

the stairs work great. Great height. Way easier for my knees and back. Used a large washer to shove in the space of the hitch to stop the wobble. The stairs work great. I stopped the wobble by using a metal washer in the space to make a snug fit for my hitch.

allows easy access to my 4x4 ram bed even when the tailgate is on. should work very well when we use it with our truck camper too. solid well made product. 79046

Since getting the truck steps they were a little slippery when wet so I coated them with some black metallic rust o leum textured paint which gives them a sandpaper like finish.

Product was built fine but did not work for our camper.The door on our palomino pop up truck camper is offset to the left ,not over the ball. it would have been very dangerous to attempt to usethis step. someone would miss the step and tumble to the ground potentialy causing great harm. I would advise future buyers with Palomino pop up campers that this product will not work for them. I have taken the step to a metal fabricator to resovle this problem albeit with additional costs. 128569

my brother ordered the same item and told me where to find 'em. perfect fit, price EXCELLENT and arrived much faster than expected!! thanks, dave 90592

Still very happy with the steps, working as good as the first day i used them! Very strongwell built, paint still looks great/no chips!

A great product. Exactly as described and arrived earlier than expected with a free shipping upgrade. Looking forward to using it when camping. 116751

Still great after one year. Very rugged, I expect it will last a life time.

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

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! 562189

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

How great this product is. Saves us a lot of money because they work just as good as the other kind of camper steps. 142443

These steps are just what I was looking for!!!!, they fit perfectly on my truck to get up to our Grandby Shell model Four Wheel Camper, it is a 8' unit fit on my 2003 Dodge Ram Quad cab ( 6'2" BED), which means my tailgate is down, and not able to use the step bumper, bought a hitch extender to tow the boat, and these steps to get in the camper, they fit exactly as advertised, and the rise on them is spot on, GLAD I got this brand, you will not be disappointed!!! Shipping was fast, and the whole experience was painless, will order from these folks again!!! 300720

This step is a lot more sturdy than I anticipated when I bought it. It doesn't twist at all when I step on just one side or the other and it is about the right step separation distance for getting into the back of the camper door on a slide in camper. I thought about putting some grip tape used on skateboards on the steps but so far it doesn't seem to need extra traction. (the skateboarder kids buy sheets of the sand coated tape the size of a skateboard for way less than buying the same stuff at a parts house) The step is rather solid. 290448

I use the stairs on my Ford F150 with our Real Lite truck camper. My wife and I are completely satisfied with the stairs. Our truck is high off the ground and we are in our mid 60s and the stairs really make entering and exiting our camper much easier. There is a little wobble which is due to our camper door not being centered on the camper, it sits a few inches to the driver's side of the camper, but we've learned how to enter and exit in order to not experience any wobble at all. We are very happy with our purchase. 338355

If you have a truck camper, this step is a necessary addition. I've used this step in conjunction with a Lance 835 on a Dodge 3500 Dually. I'm in and out of my camper multiple times during the day when traveling. This step allows easy, fast ingress and egress. I recommend you don't use a hitch pin with this step. Use a bolt, two flat washers, lock washer and not. Tighten the bolt until all side to side play is removed. Much more stable and sold than a hitch pin, which allows some wobble. 457879

I received my 2 step hitch stair in excellent condition. I'm impressed with the service and delivery. I unpacked it this morning and can say that the quality is exactly what I had expected. This is a simple and sturdy product that will provided a much improved access to my Four Wheel Camper. I like the way that I can leave it attached to the hitch while not fully extended for use. This sure beats the 3 step stool that came with my camper. Safe and sturdy. 109772

by: Fran06/03/2011

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! 16081

On my second camping trip, my feet were wet and I was on tiptoes trying to reach the lightswitch for the back door of my camper. It was at that exact moment that the top stair gave way and I went crashing to the ground with a nasty gash in my back. It was not a pretty sight. I have since had a welder make additional supports and it seems to be fine now. Right out of the box I'd definitely say it's a bit flimsy. Best of luck to those who make this purchase. 420180

Just as pictured - nice sturdy product ....but I was to use this step with my 4 wheel truck camper in a 14 F250, but since I have the camper, the back-up camper camera has been moved down low (just above the license plate) which in turn is right in line with this step - so when I back up the reverse warning system goes off. Needless to say I can't live with it. Good product but can't be used with my set-up. 320702

Thanks for your feedback, Chris! I have a 2013 Ford F-150 and whenever we use hitch-mounted accessories that interfere with our backup camera/alarm system, we turn off our backup alarm. You can consult your vehicle manual to learn how to turn it off in your truck. Hope this helps!

Steps for Truck Camper They 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. 4304

by: Peter03/23/2013

I just wanted to say, better than I thought It would get. Really well made. Dimensions were right and fits perfect. The 3 holes make it convenient for traveling and while stopped to set your distance from the camper door. I have a 2012 Nissan Frontier and the top step slides in just over the bumper. I use that position when traveling. It is high enough to leave on. You will not be disappointed. 72086

I recently purchased trailer hitch steps that fit into a 2 inch socket. The product is really well made with top quality welding and materials. We are in the Motion picture catering business and will add this product to all of our film catering trucks. The order was shipped in two days and we put it to use immediately. Great purchase. Thanks again!! 473302

I was recommended to etrailer.com by Brophy Machine works. They told me that they keep a good stock of their products. So I did not explore any other ways or places to purchase the items I needed and went directly to them for an order. It was pretty simple to order on their site and the products came within a few days. I am very happy with their service. 516597

by: Jeremiah K.06/27/2016

Great product. This step has been very helpful. I would have given it 5 stars if it were a little higher. The receiver that I am using it in is fairly low so the first step is short and then the distance from the top step to the bed is a bit tall. If this product was available in different ground heights it would be a 5 star for sure. 265774

This product showed up very quickly at my door! It is very well made and the adjustable attachment is critical for a truck camper. I'm very pleased with the durability and it could also be used for getting in and out of the truck even if it wasn't being used for a camper. etrailer is one of my favorite sites for excellent service. 490471

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. 27823

I love the Hitch Stair! It is sturdy and a perfect addition for my camper. As a 70 year old solo traveler, I can handle the hitch stair easily, and the dogs and I can exit and enter the camper without effort. It was just what was needed. Good quality and good price! 499632

by: Frank02/15/2014

Good looking steps. I tried them and they seem to be sturdy. I wish top step was a 1/2" higher so it would slide into the center of the bumper thus moving it as far forward as possible when not in use. No problem just an observation. Super fast shipping was a big plus! 116599

by: Fred M12/03/2015

Great product. Item was exactly as described and depicted in photos. Delivery was sooner than expected. I could not be more pleased. This will make climbing in and out of camper during hunting seasons much less of a challenge than balancing on the trailer hitch! 232964

Only took a few days to arrive. These steps work great. I use these steps to get in and out of my truck camper. No more balancing acts or acrobatics to get up. No slack either. I thought there would be some wobbling left and right but there is none...very sturdy. 57481

by: Diana04/05/2017

I was so very disappointed in the steps. It wont go far enough back to fit in the last hole because of the spare tire. And I didn't realize that I would have to remove it all the time because it sticks out to far when not in use. such a disappointment 363025

I received my RHS2 in good shape. Knowing the weight rated is so low at 250lbs. I know I am going to reinforce it to handle heavier weights. This gave me a good building block so I can improve and design it to be heavy duty steps. 176744

Using on a 17 Ram with a Four Wheel Camper. Diamond Tread is nice but doesn't really seem to help a lot. Each vehicle is different and while it should work fine for us, the top step is about even with our step bumper. 506055

by: Dale02/26/2017

We were very pleased with this step. They even have diamond plate on each step along with a good thick gauge of steel. The three different holes also allow you to adjust how far it sticks out past the receiver, 346017

This step is great. I leave it in even when the camper is off the truck. Even with the tail gate down its still useful. Nobody follows to closely either. I did put reflective tape on it.
