Will Lippert SolidSteps Work for You?
Fold-down steps are typically installed on travel trailers and some RVs. The fold-down steps from Lippert lift up to latch into your camper's doorway for storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Lippert SolidSteps install inside your camper's doorframe. Measuring for this may seem tricky, but once you know what to look for, figuring out the right fit for your RV doorway is easy.
Measure between the door frame flanges - the doorway width - to determine the step size that will fit into your camper's doorway. You will need a doorway that is at least 25" wide to 28-7/8" wide for these steps to work.
If it turns out you have a wider or narrower doorway, there are other step assemblies that fit doorways ranging from 24" wide to 36" wide. A full list of the available steps is below.
To make sure your doors will close when the steps are installed, measure from the top of the threshold plate to the bottom of the door. You will need a gap of about 1/4" to 3/8" to allow the door to close over the step's mounting plate.
The doorway threshold will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To decide on how many steps you'll need, measure from the mounting point to the ground. This is called the entry height. The entry height should roughly match the height of the steps when they're fully extended, and it will tell you how many steps you need.
Once you know your doorway width and entry heigh measurements, the chart below will tell you which part number you need. This page's step assembly is in bold text.

How Do You Install the Steps?

It’s been a year since we purchased our steps. I had slid down our old steps on a rainy morning so I came home and immediately ordered from etrailer (our go to source). I wanted a wide first landing step and this is perfect . It is adjustable to our various ground levels so that is a plus. . This is a very stable step. I would recommend it!
Excellent product replacing original steps on 2013 Forest River Surveyor. Only fitment issue per Lippert instructions placed hinge plate too high and door would not close. Easy fix, cut threshold section out to allow hinge plate sit flush on floor. Fits great, looks great, high quality product.

The Lippert steps have worked out great... I Like em and my wife steps much easier and safer
After realizing my steps were broken,I had to decide whether to fix them or go a different route. I saw these on another guys camper, since they were also not his original steps,I checked them out and decided to give them a try. The install was easy and they are very sturdy. After removing the seal plate I put down some RV roof sealing tape and plan on caulking the corners later. I also decided to buy longer screws since the ones it came with didn't seem to really grab anything. Didn't really want to deal with the bolts but if I have any problems could always go back with them. Overall a simple install and much improvement over the old steps. If I could change one thing it would be the pin to adjust the legs at the bottom to a push in pin like on pop up tent legs.
The steps are great! I rated as a 2 star because they were received with damage. I do not believe this is an eTrailer issue as the packaging from Lippert was to blame.
My package arrived intact. No holes which I was surprised after reading other reviews. My installation took about 30 minutes. Pretty straightforward. After fine tuning the legs, everything was very sturdy. So far, very happy I went with this unit
Damaged part replaced quick and it is on the SolidStep.

Steps are perfect after of a year of CONTINUOUS use. The is not a part time 5th wheel.
We had to replace our steps from our 2021 new Bullet because somebody ran over it while we were in a parking stop. This was the exact same steps and we just had to screw them with the same metal screw without screwing under the floor. Ten minutes and it was done.

After a year its still working out and give us perfect satisfaction. Thank you.
If you want a 'solid step', this is a solid buy. 10/10 for sure!
I installed these in my '22 Winnebago 2225RL. The step and installation are super simple. Including taking out my old steps, it took me 30-40 minutes total including adjusting the locking mechanism.
The installation instructions are really easy to follow. I didn't have to remove my old threshold, but that is not true for everyone. So check this first before you go drilling into anything. I attached some pictures to give a before and after view.
The installation went like this for me...Make sure you're rig is level. Make sure the hinge is folded closed before starting. Lay your steps out, center it in the door, and adjust the feet accordingly. Test your door! Test it several times to make sure nothing is going to bind and that you have clearance in all the right places.
You'll see one hole on either side of the Solid Step black threshold that allows you to drill and screw in your first two connections. Once those are complete, fold up your steps and adjust your locking mechanism so that it closes and latches correctly. After you've got everything working the way you want, install the remaining screws or bolts (based on your type of floor) and secure it all down. Enjoy your new steps!
Works great! With the old steps we had to haul a wooden platform in case the bottom step was too high for my wife to step up comfortably. We no longer have to haul it because these steps adjust to the varying ground level.

We loved them. We purchased a new camper last month and it came with Lippert steps.
I've had him for a year. I replaced the pull out ones that originally came under the trailer, they got a little bent. Love 'em sturdy solid, easy to install reliable.
Great customer service. The fit on our Alfa Gold 5th wheel unfortunately required some serious modification on the threshold area, and the bottom of both the main door and the screen door for the doors to close properly. The screen door required additional modification to allow the doors to close with the step in the stowed position, as the frame hit the latches on the stowage lock. Once the required modifications were completed, which added at least 4 hours to the installation time, the step works great! It is easy to deploy
and stow, and is much more stable than the original step. Without the modifications required on my trailer, installation would be simple, but I would caution anyone against self-installation if they don't have access to a pretty wide selection of power tools and some fabrication experience.
Was perfect replacement
Never have had any complaints with Etrailer
I purchases this set for my 2018 Rockwood Roo BDS. I had to modify my sill plate slightly to get these to fit my camper perfectly. These steps are worth every cent. They are drastically more stable than the factory steps. The legs can easily be adjusted for unlevel sites and they easily fold up with one hand.
Very satisfied and the steps are holding up very well.
My wife and I are both over 80 years old. We installed the Lippert rv step because it was getting difficult to get up and down the old steps. We added the hand rail. They were easy to install. I would recommend these to anyone. They are solid and well built.
Great quality. A great safety upgrade for our Traveling Bungalow—Grand Design 2600RB.
Easy to install, if you use rv camp grounds they are great, I have a toy hauler and go off road and sometimes there is rocks,soft dirt even mud. When you put your steps up anything on those steps end up in your rv. I carry two small 6X6X1 plastic pads and that works most of the time. Thanks Russ
Positives: This was a simple installation. The hardest part was removing the old steps-took 2 of us (and a few grunts!). I filed off the inner lip on the threshold and removed the transition strip to make things as level as possible prior to installation. It took about 3/4 hour to finish install after that. Great product, (first in-field use will be Thursday 10/8/20).
Negatives: The shipping carton was trashed and loose parts were strewn throughout. I didn't receive the 4" #10 machine screws, washers, and lock nuts, so I used the wood screws but I'm pretty sure I'll need to through bolt the assembly to the trailer in the future. LCI - replacements please? Also, ordered clevis pins with bimini rings for easier support strut length adjustment.
Overall: Very Positive Upgrade-Easy & Useful. I would recommend to anyone who wants a better steps than the OEM.

One year later and we’re very pleased with our purchase. Absolutely no problems and they provide a sturdier platform to get into our trailer. No complaints. We would purchase again.
Very good product I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing to upgrade their steps on their Camper. Thanks etrailer
Impressed!!!
I was ready for this to be a problem installation but I took my time to watch the video and it went very well. Less than an hour and it works great. Thanks!
took alittle bit of adjustment to get screen door to close but overall a great product very pleased

Excellent ! Feel much safer than OEM steps. Only downfall is the leg extenders. Are alittle tricky to operate. Better design would be helpful
These steps have been a great upgrade for our camper. 1 year in and I couldn’t be happier with them- so much stronger and much more supportive than the original folding style that came with the camper. If you’re thinking about getting these - just confirm your doorway size and go for it.
Unfortunately, the steps arrived the sameday my camper went to the shop for repairs. so I will not be installing these until we get the camper back. i normally give etrailer 5 stars but as the pictures show this box arrived with packing tape on the sides of the box , on the corners and accross the top where the box was damaged. I open the box to inspect and not sure what was included.With the stairs was a bag of screws. no instructions. I would suggest that the packaging needs to be improved. I hope once i start the install that the step are in working condition.
The solid step is a great upgrade for our 2018 hybrid shamrock 233s. It eliminated the side roll when kids jump on the factory underside mounted steps. I would highly recommend adding this to your camper.
Great job great service
