Features to know about
Easier Entry for Tall Setups: Expands from 40"–48" with 5 Full Steps
These Brophy scissor steps give you a solid way to get in and out of tall campers or raised setups. The 5-step assembly expands from 40" to 48" tall, so it reaches higher entry points without feeling steep. Each step is 17" wide and 6-1/4" deep with an 8" drop between steps, making the climb feel natural. The 250 lb capacity supports steady footing for you and your gear.
Stable on Uneven Ground: Scissor Design Self-Adjusts for Solid Contact
The scissor design automatically adjusts to the terrain, so both feet sit flat even when the ground isn’t level. That means no rocking or wobbling when you step up or down. The diamond tread pattern on each step gives extra grip, keeping your footing secure in wet or dusty conditions.
Lightweight Strength: Heavy-Gauge Aluminum That’s Easy to Handle
Built from heavy-gauge aluminum, these steps stay strong yet light enough to handle on your own. Reviewers liked how sturdy they feel without adding bulk. The assembly folds down compactly for travel, so it’s easy to remove and store when not in use.
Clean and Simple Attachment: 18" Mounting Bracket and Clip-On Design
The included 18" mounting bracket secures with four 1/4" x 1-1/2" screws, then the steps clip into the “V” clamps when you’re parked. It’s a solid connection that takes just a moment to attach or remove. Since they’re meant for stationary use only, you can unclip them before travel and pack them away fast.
Optional Extra Stability: Add Handrail AHR5 (Sold Separately)
For even more confidence climbing in and out, you can add the AHR5 handrail. It makes the sturdy 5-step setup feel like real stairs—especially handy for kids, pets, or anyone who wants a little extra balance support.

Solid steps. Used them on my 03’ F350 with a 4” lift. My camper is a 2000 S&S 8.5SC. Top step could be wider or they could shorten up that top steps side bars to prevent an 8” gap between camper and top step but just don’t let Darwin win and you’ll be ok. Overall very satisfied with build quality and how easy they are to extend. Also the diamond plate provides ample traction and looks great too.

My truck camper sits more than 40 inches from ground to doorway, so these steps were perfect. I almost drlled into some wiring during installation, so be sure to check that and clearance from the door. I will remove them while driving since they are easily attached and removed.

We are in Australia and needed one of this step for our camper. Your partners in Australia are a waste of time so I got my lovely sister, Jan, based in USA to order and send us this step and it worked really well.

we changed out some too-short scissor steps for this 5 step Brophy set. My husband took about 15 minutes to remove the old bracket and install the new one. No more propping up a too-short step!

This is an excelent heavy duty latter. My only criticizem is the landing legs. For me it would have had them be adjustable. there are times where this little adjustment can make the diffrence. Otherwise a qualitly product at a fair price.

See what our Experts say about this Brophy RV Steps
- Replacement Entry Steps for a 2001 Bigfoot Truck CamperHey, John. I'm finding it hard to locate some steps that are long and only 21" wide. The best I came up with is the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps part # TLA7836. This step is for entry height between 46-1/2" - 58" tall. For the mounting bracket dimensions it'll need 23" wide x 19-1/2" tall x 8-1/2" deep. You can also reply to the email with pictures of what your current set up is. That way I can have a better idea of what you're workin with.
view full answer... - What Replacement Bracket do I Need for My Brophy Scissor Steps that are 17" Wide?Hello Todd, When we measure the actual step of the # AS05 it is 17", but you will need the Replacement Scissor Step Bracket for 18" Steps # CR2001. I attached an image of the actual measurements of the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05. I just put in for us to update one of the pages as it is very confusing and misleading. What kind of camper is this going on? Any fun adventures in the near future?
view full answer... - Will the Brophy Scissor Steps Fold Up Behind the Door of My RV?No, I am sorry Mike there is not. Steps like the Brophy Scissor Steps item # AS05 you were looking at aren't designed to be folded up behind the door like item # MR58RR. How wide is your entry way? We do have a couple of fold up options like item # MR86RR or item # MR58RR that fit doorways as narrow as 21-3/4" - 22-1/4" wide. You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
view full answer... - Availability of Steps for 2018 Host Mammoth Truck CamperHey Al! We do have some other steps that carry a lower cost for your 2018 Host Mammoth camper but the right fit depends on your entry height. The closest thing to the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps # TLA8105 you looked at would be the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05. These fit an entry height of 40" - 48". If you have a different entry height let me know in the comments below and I'll see what is available.
view full answer... - Best Brophy Scissor Step For Entry Height Between 39" and 41"Hello Ed, thanks for reaching out. I recommend going with a 5 step since your entry height will be like 39"-41". That way you can be sure the step will have a solid connection to the ground. We have the Brophy 5 steps in both a 24" wide and 17" wide. Take a look at the following: - Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 5 Steps - Aluminum - Non-Slip Tread - 24" Wide - 300 lbs # AS25 - Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 5 Steps - Aluminum - Diamond Tread - 17" Wide - 250 lbs # AS05
view full answer... - Gap Between First/Last Step and Mounting Plate on TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor StepsIn regards to the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps part # TLA7833, there is indeed a 6-1/2" gap between the first/last step and the mounting plate. This is needed in order for the steps to fully retract. It is not the intention of TorkLift to trip little kids but the design is necessary for the steps to retract properly. If this were not there then the steps would stick out much further while retracted and I'm sure someone would not like either. If you take a look at a similar...

- Fitment of Brophy Camper Scissor Steps for Truck CampersThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps for truck campers, # AS04, are intended for an entry height of 31" to 40". If your camper door sets within that 31-40' range then yes this will fit your rig. Please see attached image for measuring points and chart.

- What Is Overall Depth Of Brophy Camper Scissor Steps AS05 When Fully ExtendedI went to the warehouse and took a measurement of the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps, part # AS05 for you. The distance form the top mounting bracket to the front of the lowest step is 39-1/4 inches. The distance form the frame below the lowest step is 40-1/8 inches. I have attached a photo of the steps with the dimensions noted.

- Are the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 Correct for a Camper Attachment 37 inches from the GroundThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 that you referenced have a height of 40" - 48" when they are expanded which would be a little too much for your application. Instead, I recommend going with the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS24 which have a height of 31" - 39" when expanded, plus it features the non-slip tread. We have a bracket for a tailgate # TSSB or an RV # AS2002 if you need one as well as a handrail # AHR4 to assist going up and down the stairs.
view full answer... - What Brophy Scissor Trailer Steps do You Recommend for My 40-1/2 Inch High Entryway?For the best option for Brophy scissor steps, I recommend the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 5 Steps - Aluminum # AS25. These steps are made for entry heights that range from 40 - 48 inches tall and will work great with your current 40-1/2 inch tall height. However, another thing that you need to know is your entry way width. With the # AS25, this is made for entryways that will be able to accommodate a bracket width of 24" inches. We do offer steps with 18-1/4 inch wide brackets. That...
view full answer... - Are the Brophy Scissor Steps # AS05 the Best Option for a Height of 39-1/2 inches BracketIf you are asking about the height adjustment range compared to your measurement of 39-1/2 inches then yes, the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 would definitely be the better option. It is best to have stairs that can extend a little bit past what the height that you measured to account for uneven terrain. If you would like the best option then what I recommend is the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps # TLA7845. The landing gear feet on this step choice really help to keep...

- 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... - Scissor Steps that Extend 48 Inches for Vehicle 50 Inches from the GroundAluminum Scissor Steps # AS25 measure up to 48 inches tall and would be the best option for you. They have a 250 pound capacity. The other option is # AS05 which also can extend as much as 48 inches. To add a hand rail, if needed, use # AHR5.
view full answer... - Aluminum Scissor Steps AS23 DimensionsThe 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.

view full answer... - Collapsed Dimensions of Brophy Aluminum Scissor Steps # AS05 I went out into our warehouse and grabbed a Aluminum Scissor Steps # AS05 to measure and found that they are 17-3/4 inches tall by 18-1/4 inches wide and 10 inches deep. I attached a picture that has all of the dimensions shown.

- Recommended Scissor Steps For a Flat Bed Camper Torklift steps are going to be just a bit wider than your desired 20" wide mounting dimension at 21-1/2", and the Brophy steps will be just a bit under at 18-1/4". Both the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps # TLA7845 and the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 will fit your 43" entry height and are removable. Of the two the TorkLift steps are the more stable option. They include landing feet for more ground stability and are adjustable to fit uneven terrain. These steps include...
view full answer... - Using Brophy AS05 Aluminum Scissor Steps to Access 44 inch High WalkwayThe Brophy # AS05 Aluminum Scissor Steps you mentioned can be used for heights between 40-48 inches. Since your 44 inch height is right in the middle of that range, the steps would work great for you. If the steps were at a 90 degree angle to the area you are wanting the steps to access, you'll need some type of platform at the top of the steps. The steps have a 250 lb capacity. For safety, I'd also recommend a hand rail like # AHR5.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of AS05 StairsI am sorry but at this time we do not carry a set of folding stairs that would mount to a trailer 50 inches high. The weight capacity of the stair you have selected is 250 lbs. We ship to Ontario Canada with no problems.
