These 4-step Brophy scissor steps give you a steady climb up to entries between 31" and 40" high. The steel design feels solid underfoot and holds up to 275 lbs, so you can step up with confidence. The 17" wide steps and 8" drop/rise make the climb feel natural, and the self-adjusting scissor design keeps them stable even on uneven ground.
Each step has a diamond tread pattern that grips your shoes for traction, even when it’s damp outside. Many users add grip tape for extra hold, but even as-is these treads help keep you steady in rain, dirt, or dust. The solid steel construction gives a secure, no-flex feel that’s especially helpful for kids, pets, or anyone who prefers a firm step.
The powder-coated finish protects the steel from rust and wear, so these steps can handle years of use. The included 18-1/4" wide mounting bracket and hardware let you clip the stairs on when parked, then remove them before travel. The compact fold-up design keeps storage simple when you’re on the move.
The scissor action folds and unfolds easily by hand, and once extended, the steps lock into a solid position. There’s an optional handrail (AHR4, sold separately) if you want extra stability getting in and out. Whether you’re setting up for a weekend or full-time living, these steps make entering your camper feel safe, sturdy, and effortless.

It's alot heavier than I expected, have to get used to climbing the stairs, we jury rigged up a rail for it to feel more stable and that seems to help. Time will tell.
Bought these kind of as a last minute thing. My wife and I aren't as young and nimble as we used to be and tired of using unstable wooden folding steps, so I figured what the heck,let's give these Brophy steps a try. Wow.....should have bought these years ago when we first started truck camping !
If there was any downside to them, it would be the weight. But then again, I think that's what makes them so stable. My advice to anyone on the fence about weather to spend their hard earned money for a set of these, I'd say "Do It", you won't be disappointed !
Surprised of the sturdyness and nice compacted size will be great for my camper
Delivery was a day later than expected. That's okay because I ordered it with enough time to spare.

Its still in the box. I ended up not using it. Its just sitting in the garage still in the box.
Very happy. I placed my order on November 19th, which was a Sunday, around 1pm. I received my order 3 days later on Nov 22nd. The product seems very well made. The website is easy to navigate, descriptions are accurate and the instructions on how to measure are spot on. I will definitely order from Etrailer in the future.

After a year of use these steps are awesome. They have been attached to my camper and there is No rust! I love the ease of being able to adjust the height. They are easy to attach and take off. When on the road I simply fold them up and leave them on the floor by the door. If we stop it is so easy to attach and extend.
First let me say thank you to the folks at etrailer, quality products, good prices, great shipping and great all around customer service. I have purchased a few products from this company before and haven't been disappointed yet. Kudos to Kyle and so many others for taking the time to help with all my questions and getting me in the right direction for my specific applications.
I just purchased the brophy steel 4 step setup for my tundra with northstar's sc650 on the back. Great fit, easy install, using them the same day we put them on the rig. I added nonslip grip tape to each step along with a little reflective tape on the face of each step for low light inclement weather use.
A little heavier of course than aluminum would have been but these are absolutely fine and the paint and finish are great.
I would recommend them to anyone without reservation.

We are actually using them right now on our Northstar SC 650 truck camper up in the mountains of SC. They are rock solid steps. A little heavy compared to the aluminum version but have been dependable non the less. We like them. We did apply 2 strips of 1 inch grip tape per step for a sure footing. We also applied reflective glow strips on the step faces for easy spotting at night. No complaints whatsoever.
Great stairs!
Feel very solid and the installation was very easy.
Excellent, with mild reservations noted below. Only hitch to the install was trying to keep out of the old screw holes from the previous steps (which came with the TC and were an aluminum three-step that needed an orange crate for the fourth - no more orange crate now). The steel steps feel better under my weight and are solid and haven't sand in the joints yet so they don't squeak.
Reasonably priced; arrived on time. Lady I spoke with on the phone knew about the 4-screw/5-screw differences and didn't have to pass me off to a techie. Overall I feel much more confident now ordering online these big-ticket items from eTrailer.com.
My two very minor issues are more with Brophy. Having to remove the steps when traveling and reattach them every time I want to get into the TC is a bit of a nuisance, especially as they are heavy and I'm an old guy rapidly losing muscle mass. But can a pilgrim that had to unlimber an orange crate every time he extended his old steps really complain? Camped for days is no problemo. They are a little too heavy to pull up from inside for stealth camping.
The other issue is theft prevention, as any drive-by can just lift the steps off and drive away with them (then order a mounting bracket from eTrailer.com); not an urgent concern, but in a crowded campground we get all types. So, I've ordered a 4-foot cable lock to secure the steps to the bumper whenever I'm feeing really paranoid or I'm visiting my brother-in-law.
Now if I never fall off the steps or, if I do, my grab bar prevents a serious splat!, then I shall be (sorry for this...) a happy camper.

The steps are doing well. Have the mountunmount routine mastered so it does not take noticeably longer than for Class C steps. Arthritis sometimes makes the lifts more uncomfortable. Placed reflective tape on the sides. The part that rests on the ground has been rusting slightly and requires occasional care. On hot days when wearing shorts, one must take care when stepping down to keep the back of the calves from touching the metal steps as they get very, very hot dismounting hot steps is best done with gloves. Otherwisethey have been as serviceable as one could hope.Best regards
Fantastic product - sturdy, well built - couldn’t be happier!
Easy install, solid built, easy to mount the steps, easy to remove and stow. Great product. Keep up the good work!
Excellent service....delivered very quickly and was exactly as they stated. Highly recommend this company.
Seem strong and the install was easy. I offset my installation to clear the centre tube of my motorcycle rack and it's not even noticeable with the wide tread widths.
Extremely heavy duty nice Workman Craft

I just completed the install on my Lance camper.
The install took 10 minutes.
I am very pleased with these steel steps.
I'm a big guy, 270 lbs.
They are super strong, and easy to setup.
Shipping took three days.
Good solid steps, wish the mounting system was a little better secured but overall very satisfied! etrailer like always had them at my front door within days, I always buy from etrailer when possible.
Install was simple, they are very sturdy, and easy to take on and off.
perfect finish to my project!

Looks fantastic, Tammy! You did a great job :) When do you get to enjoy your handy work and go on a trip?
I installed steel 4 step scissor steps on my popup truck camper. The
camper door would not clear the steps. I needed to mount the steps
lower. A couple pieces of slotted angle iron did the trick. See
attached photos.
P.S. You could even use the slotted angle to lock the steps in case
you thought someone might want to "borrow" them.
They were above my expectations. But am recommending them to others
We purchased a used step system and it shipped on time and arrived in good shape. Very pleased.
Very easy to install, work great. Amazing customer service.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! I own a tri-level home and when needing to repair or upgrade light fixtures or most things involving the ceiling I have found that it is much easier to go above and work from the top which means the attic. Because of the third level of the house, my attic also has another level to reach it and it doesn't have stairs to get up to it resulting in having to use a chair or step ladder which I found to be very unsteady (and scary). Similar products like this cost upwards of $500 and they were fixed sets meaning that they didn't fold or contract for space saving. This is perfect for what I needed. As you can see in the photos I have it mounted on the wall and collapsed when not in use. When needed it is very easy to just grab the bottom rail and pull it down to expand the steps and push it back up when done. THANK YOU eTrailer!
Super easy to install, very sturdy. Installed this on rear of our 2005 Palomino Maverick 1000 truck camper. Makes entry very easy. The camper did not come with steps so this was a great way to get inside the camper. I added an eyebolt to the back of the camper to attach the step to the camper with a chain to keep honest people honest. The only drawback is the weight, not excessive but the aluminum ones might be easier to manipulate. Great product, would eagerly advise someone to buy this unit.
Out of the box this product is way too heavy, and the paint was chipped off if several places. A corner on the mounting plate was bent. I will be returning it.
Love our Brophy camper steps. Installed the mounting bracket to the underside of our rear "deck" that hangs off the end of our camper and tailgate. Steps are a little heavy for my wife to handle and install so I always do it. I added reflective grip tape to the steps for traction and they illuminate at night with glow in the dark lines so you can see the steps for going up and down in the dark. Very pleased with purchase, etrailer always has the best stuff and best prices. Thanks etrailer.
