Features to know about

Stable Entry on Any Ground: Scissor Steps Adjust from 24"–30" Heights

These aluminum scissor steps give you a solid, wobble-free way to get in and out, even when the ground isn’t level. The self-adjusting design keeps all three 17" wide steps stable on uneven terrain. With an 8" drop between treads, climbing feels natural. The 250 lb weight capacity gives steady support without bending or flexing.

Sure Footing in All Conditions: Diamond Tread Steps with 6-1/4" Depth

Each step has a 6-1/4" deep diamond tread surface that grips your shoes or boots and keeps you steady in wet or dusty conditions. It’s the kind of footing you can trust whether you’re hauling gear or helping kids and pets climb up safely.

Light but Strong: Heavy-Gauge Aluminum Construction Weighs Only 15 lbs

Built from heavy-gauge aluminum, the entire assembly is tough yet easy to handle at only about 15 lbs. You get a sturdy set of stairs that won’t rust or feel flimsy, but still light enough to lift, attach, or pack away without strain.

Compact and Removable for Travel: Folds Down to 9-1/2" x 18-1/2" x 9-1/4"

When it’s time to move, the steps collapse neatly and unclip from the included 18-1/4" wide mounting bracket. The folded size makes storage simple and keeps dirt outside your rig. A handrail (AHR3, sold separately) can be added for even more stability when you’re set up at camp.

Great steps, they are for our travel light pick- camper, we had another camper & the same steps came with camper, no problems, thank you.



by:

Aluminum steps have been a great addition to my truck camper. Light weight to handle yet sturdy and easy to mount on camper.



by:

This is a knee saver. We attached it to our Mobile Tropical Shaved Ice Truck and it makes it so much easier to get in and out the rear door. The quality, construction and lightweight makes this the idea steps for any RV, Mobile Truck or Camper. The ease of attaching, and detaching and folding is a breeze. Highly recommend.



by:

Easy to order from the website, paid with PayPal and was kept informed on shipping and tracking.
Packaging was well done and no damages in shipping
Product is high quality and well made in our opinion.
Installation was a breeze and took very little time
Highly recommend both the product and etrailer.com



by:

Product works well for me, it fit on my existing hardware, it accommodates various trailer angles and elevations when connected to the flatbed trailer for access to my truck camper (it is removed when driving).



by:

Couldnt ask for a better purchase in any way. Extremely high quality steps, and shipped faster then I expected. Installation on my truck camper took less then 5 minutes. Would highly recommend not only the steps, but etrailer.com!
Thanks again,
Dave

by:

Stairs fit my application just right to land from the camper to a platform on the trailer ... this is my second one, lost the first one in a moment of carelessness. It's well made and after a year of use, camping every week in the summer, it's not at all loose.

Etrailer seems to have everything related to trailers



by:

Works just like we needed ..
GREAT product,
fair price.
Shipped fast...

THANK YOU



by:

Great product, very sturdy and easy to install. The price for the steps was cheaper than other online retailers and shipping was free. Cannot beat that!

I have never used the steps. I bought them for the times my older mom comes on trips with me and she never went on any trips last year. She will be traveling with me during spring and I am sure she will like the steps a lot. Thank you for your follow-up.



by:

Everything went extremely well. Seller contact info, shipping details, etc... Very satisfied with etrailer.com. Thanks again, Don

Everything is fine, camper steps are great. extremely glad I found your company to purchase them. Thanks,



by:

Appears to be very well made; easily installed the bracket on my truck...wife is happy!



by:

it seems that the top step does not hole up like the other two.



by:

It works fine! just what we needed, went on very easy, had to notch the bottom of door to clear, and that's OK. we have not went camping yet. so the photos are at home. hope this helps, If not let me know!! We want to out camping anyway..



by:

The 3 step aluminum stairs work perfect.
The
2 step was too short for my need.



by:

Perfect replacement for the stairs we l ost.



by:

We have used the heck out of ours for a year now. Constantly up and down with somewhat heavy loads ours has been a lifesaver for us. It's just as sturdy as the day we got it. We have not spent one minute doing any maintenance or cleaning on it. With the quality of craftsmanship I would expect to pay a lot more. Definitely a great buy.



by:

Stairs installed see attachment. Only have one suggestion so additional customers don't require a additional spacer. My camper is a 2005 and I had to add a 1/4 thick spacer between the camper shell and the stair upper bracket because of the entry door lower sill but besides that everything worked out great. Thanks



by:

Extremely satisfied with service from retailer. Have attached step bracket to truck body. Well made set of steps. Very pleased with outcome of attachment to my 2007 Ram. Did smooth some rough areas of step with file. Again very satisfied with steps and strainer service.



by:

I purchased this product for other than it’s intended use and it worked out perfectly. A breath of fresh air to receive a top quality, American made product. Thank you for the craftsmanship and quality of materials. After seeing the quality of this product and finding how well it suits me need, I only wish I would have ordered the wider set. Hat’s off to etrailer!! Buy American and from this company, you will not be disappointed!!



by:

I ordered these steps for our travel trailer. They shipped the same day I ordered them and arrived on time. Super easy to install. They are VERY sturdy and the distance between the steps is perfect. It was always a stretch to use the steps that came with the trailer and a bit clanky. These are a great replacement.



by:

Been using these for a year and work well. No issues and helps the wife get in the camper!



by:

I had a three step foldable ladder I was using to get in/ out of my trick camper. Getting in was easy but getting out was very unstable. These foldable steps make a great improvement! Install wasn't hard and stowing them away in my truck is great as they take up very little space!



by:

My husband built a truck camper, lighter than commercial, to serve our back road adventures. He considered several options for steps and came upon your scissor steps! He ordered, they arrived in just a few days and was pleased with the ease of attaching, folding and sturdiness of the steps. Thank you for a great product.



by:

Decent steps while camper is on the truck. There made for a certain height so when lowering the camper down they don’t work.

Seems most attachments for campers are made for the typical 4” tube bumper. Ours has the step style which the hook/bar that attaches the steps to the camper don’t fit. We added/welded a piece on each side so it would fit properly when loaded on the truck.

I want to thank etrailer customer service for their help when our steps was lost. I contacted them after it was (said) delivered they did an investigation and replaced them in a week. Thanks



by:

These steps worked out great for my application. I am always pulling some type of trailer behind our camper so entering the camper is difficult. I made a platform that goes into a customized receiver hitch. These steps were the perfect size to make everything work. Much safer then step stolls.

The steps have held up well. Now when we are not towing Ive also made a double mountain bike rack that swings out of the way. The steps still offer easy entry.

  • Dimensions Of Brophy Camper Scissor Steps AS03 When Folded

  • Scissor Step for Trailer with 24 inches of Height and Lower Rise Between Steps
    I wish we had something as we get this request a lot but all of the scissor step kits out there like the Brophy Scissor Steps part # AS03 have a higher amount of rise between the steps at around 8 inches like this one. Now with that said since this step set has a range of 24 inch to 30 inch and your height is 24 inches there's a good chance this would actually have a slightly lower rise between steps.

  • Could Brophy Scissor Steps part # AS03 Attach to Top of Tailgate
    The mounting bracket for the Brophy Scissor Steps part # AS03 could certainly be attached to the top of a truck tailgate with the included hardware but it's hard to say if your tailgate would be rated for the weight of people walking up and down on the steps.

  • How Much Do the Brophy Steel 3-Step Camper Scissor Steps SS03 Weigh
    The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps part # SS03 weigh around 25 lbs. If you are looking for the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps but made of aluminum instead of steel you can use part # AS03 which weighs around 15 lbs. We also have the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps part # AS23 which are also made of aluminum and weigh around 20 lbs.

  • Aluminum Scissor Steps AS23 Dimensions
    The height measurement on the item you selected is 24 to 30 inches to the mounting bracket. As long as the distance from the area the stairs are to be mounted straight down to the ground is within this 6 inch range the stairs will work nicely. We have other sizes of steps (see links below) if this size is not correct for you. I have posted links to hand rails for the adjustable steps also. If I can be of further assistance let me know.

  • Recommended Scissor Step For A 36" Entry Height
    The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS04 have an entry height range of 31" - 40" so it would be the correct fit for your 36" entry height. If you would prefer a wider step we also off the # AS24, which has the same entry height range but is 24" wide instead of only 17" like the # AS04.

  • Recommended Scissor Steps for a Pickup Truck Camper With Tailgate Height of 23-24 inches
    The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS03 is what I would go with if I were in your shoes. If you are needing a height of at least 24 inches then it is better to get steps that can extend past your minimum height requirement in case you need a little more height. The Tailgate Scissor Step Bracket # TSSB by Brophy is what you are going to need so that you can install the Scissor Steps on your tailgate.

  • Can The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS03 Fold Up For Travel
    The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS03 do retract to make them easier to haul around but these steps do have to be removed from the mounting bracket for travel. These steps are designed for use on truck bed campers and wouldn't really be the best option for a motorhome. Instead I recommend going with some fold down steps like the MORryde Quick Connect RV Steps # MR32JR. To determine which exact model will fit your motorhome you'll need to measure your entry height (from the ground to...

  • Are the Steel Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # SS03 Available in Aluminum
    We do have the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # SS03 in aluminum. This is found on our site as part # AS03. Please note that the aluminum version has a weight capacity of 250 lbs as opposed to the 300 lbs of capacity that the steel version has. If you would like to add some more stability to these steps then the handrail # AHR3 can be used. The manufacturer specifically states that these steps should not be mounted permanently. You really should remove them before you start traveling.

  • Can Brophy Steel Scissor Steps Rust
    The Brophy scissor steps # SS03 are steel with a black powder coat. Steel can rust if it is exposed to the elements. Eventually the powder coat can get chips or scratches in it exposing the steel and then it can start to rust. If you notice scratches or chips you can spray paint over them to help prevent corrosion. Another option is to go with the aluminum version, # AS03. Aluminum is naturally corrosion resistant and will not rust like steel. I have linked a video review of the aluminum...
