These steps glow in the dark after just 5 minutes of light exposure, creating a clearly visible path when you’re coming or going at night. The glow tape adheres to the sides of each 21" x 8" step platform, making it easy to see every tread without blinding lights or flashlights.
The built-in landing gear connects the bottom step to the ground for a firm footing. Each leg adjusts to match slopes or rough terrain, keeping the stairs level and steady. The large rectangular footplates spread out the weight so the steps don’t sink in soft ground. With a 325 lb weight capacity, they stay solid under load.
When you need extra reach, the pull-out booster step gives you an additional 7-1/2" rise, turning the 4-step design into a 5-step setup. A simple lever releases the booster, letting you fine-tune the total height for entry points between 34-7/8" and 42-3/8". It’s a simple way to get a perfect fit without extra parts.
Each step is built from aircraft-grade aluminum with stainless steel hinges, so they resist rust and move smoothly every time. The bushing bearings last longer than riveted joints and let the scissor mechanism open and close easily. The SureGrip tread on every step gives secure footing even in wet weather, and the whole assembly folds up cleanly into the door frame for travel.

Hello, neighbors. Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Uprising Steps with the Booster Step. So you're gonna get four steps with a fifth step being the booster step. It's a very simple pullout step, and it's gonna make it easy to get in and out of your trailer or your RV. And it's designed specifically for vehicles and campers and stuff that do not have a step well underneath the entryway.
So with that being said, they're gonna include this mounting bracket here, and that will match up to these prongs here on the step itself. And that's how you will get this installed and keep it in place whenever you are using it. Now I do wanna show you that booster step. So let me go ahead and give you a video of that real quick. So because I've got this leaned up on the table and it's not really attached, I need to be very careful.
So I'm using this video here that we had it hooked on something, just to show you. So you can simply pull that black lever on the bottom and spring load it, pull it out and down, push the black lever back in, and push it up and underneath. Now pointing your attention to those legs. You got the black foot plates there. Very nice.
It's gonna give you a nice footing. And on the tube, you've got those increments. It's a little push spring loaded pin. You can go up or down. It gives you seven and a half inches of adjustment, or rather 15 inches, sorry, including the step, and that drop in there.
So a very simple, nice set of steps. Again, adjustable legs. You have large rectangular footprints that provide level support, and help prevent sinking into the ground on those base steps as well. Now there's no assembly required. It simply comes out of the box like this. The landing gear even comes pre-installed on the bottom step. You have a locking tab up here, this little white guy here on the side. And that's gonna slide into that door frame that I was just showing you. And it's all going to snug in together, lock into place whenever you're using it. It also helps keep it from accidentally deploying. Now talking about this glow tape on top, I know you've seen these little green neon patches. Those are what's called "glow tape." And I'm pretty impress with these, because one thing I love about TorkLift is they have these little glow tape, they light up the step surface for safely entering and leaving the camper or RV at night. They simply adhere there from the factory, and they glow in amazing 10 hours with only five minutes of light exposure. I'm gonna shut off my overhead light so you can see them a little better. They're kind of hard to see in that image. So I'll go on the top view here as well. If you got one up here, I'm kind of waving my hand over it. One over here. And I'll zoom out with this lens filter here that I'm using today. You can see me a lot better, and also see the glow in here. So again, pretty impressive. Five minutes of sunlight exposure, or just light in general, and you get 10 hours of glow. So pretty impressive. And going back with my lights on here real quick. From the top down, again, there's that glow tape we just looked at. The tread, you kind of hear my fingernail running over that. It's got built-in tread that's been molded into the aircraft grade aluminum steps. And the sides, all these scissor ends here, all stainless steel hinges. They've been bolted together for easy add-on or removal, or replacement of individual steps. So yes, you can replace individual steps here. It's a very nice feature as well. And they have a bushing bearing that offers a much smoother action. They're longer lasting than your standard riveted connections like most steps out there have. It installs on your RV's door frame. It's gonna avoid damage to the floor or the exterior, and it's made here in America. Now the steps are 21 inches wide with eight inches, I'm sorry, 21 long by eight inches wide. And you must have a doorway entry width of 26 inches and an entry height of 34 and seven eights, all the way up to 42 and three eights. They have a rise and drop between the treads of seven and a half inches, and they're rated an impressive 325 pounds. Now I wanna show you how simple it is to fold these up. Keep in mind, I'm just leaning against this, so bear with me. Simply push it up, and you just pull down when you want to lower them back down. So again, very nice, simple to use. Lightweight. Limited lifetime warranty. Very impressive warranty by the manufacturer. And I do want to go back over here from the top down and show you it comes with an instruction manual, three different Allen wrenches, and all the hardware here needed to install it. I left that in the bag, again, due to space constriction and that kind of thing. Well, folks, that is gonna wrap it up for our look at this nice set of TorkLift GlowSteps. Again, the booster step included, giving you a total of five steps if you need it. I'm Steven. Thank you so much for your time, folks. Thanks for watching. I hope this information's been helpful and maybe a little bit educational for you. Have a great day.
Ratings & Reviews
The OEM steps on our trailer developed a crack in the mounting bracket and had to be replaced. These steps are an outstanding because of the accordion design. This allows us to park our trailer in storage and still open the steps to get inside with only a small amount of clearance, between the trailer and the wall. At the bottom the step legs have a lot of adjustability for uneven ground or slope. If I had one critique it would be that sometimes the push buttons on those step legs are a little hard to push, while you are holding the steps up to get them adjusted to match the ground.
I used these steps to replace the solid steps that came with our fifth wheel. The version of solid steps we had did not have a hydraulic lift kit available at the time and it was almost impossible for my wife to lower them. These were easy to install and now everyone can lower or raise them, since they are a lot more manageable. They can be used in tight areas like our storage lot or rest areas. Also I leave them out while hitching up, since they have enough play to raise and lower without binding (Not sure if that is a recommend use). I have had them for a year now with no issues or regrets.
We bought Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps from etrailer.com for our previous 2016 Rockwood 8329SS, which had a stepwell. We have now traded for a 2019 Flagstaff 8321KBS (Forest River twins: same trailers and floorplan, made in same factory, different brand names, which doesn't have a stepwell to mount the Glowstep Revolution steps, so we had to order the Glowstep Revolution UPRISING steps for the Flagstaff, also from etrailer. The Flagstaff came factory equipped with the swing-out SolidSteps that fold upwards into the doorway, and there isn't room in our RV garage to open these steps. The Torklift Glowstep Revolution UPRISING steps were our only option if we wanted to gain access to the interior of our trailer while in the garage. Unlike the Rockwood, we had no stepwell in which to install the Glowstep Revolution steps, as we installed on the Rockwood. Like the Lippert Solidsteps, they also swing up to store upside down inside the doorway, but the folded stack of 5 steps is only about 2 feet high when folded and stored inside. Torklift Glowsteps can be used to gain access into a travel trailer in any "tight" place. They can be extended straight down and used like a ladder, if need be. I have disabilities, but the UPRISING steps were easier for me to install, because all the work was at waist level, instead of under the stepwell. The steps attach to the trailer doorframe with 6 bolts. You do have to do some precise measuring before you drill those 6 holes. It was tedious work to mark the holes, but not difficult. The UPRISING steps have a "booster" step under the bottom step that will fold out if the terrain surrounding the trailer is lower than the surface the wheels are parked on, and we have camped in sites that did require folding out the "booster" (5th) step, making a separate 4-legged platform unnecessary. All in all, we like the UPRISING steps just as much or better than the regular Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps that store in a stepwell. At 70 and 71, with my wife's "trick" hip and my "bum" knees, the 7 1/2-inch rise of Torklift's "scissoring" steps make it MUCH easier for us to get into and out of our RV than SolidSteps, Step Above, or factory hanging steps. Don't be worried about any minor 'flexing" of the steps when using them. You don't feel it, and Torklift has been making these steps for truck campers for a long, long time. However, we will be purchasing the Torklift "quick-connect" railing system soon. I am taller than my wife, and have little balance problems with them at this time, but with the 5th "booster" step deployed, my wife feels she may lose her balance if she doesn't go slowly and hang on to the door. It IS a "long way" to the ground when the "booster" step is deployed, and just this elevation can make some people feel uneasy without a railing for "reassurance". Even if we didn't have the clearance problem with the SolidSteps or Step Above steps in our garage, we still prefer the Torklft Glowsteps because of the reduced "rise" between steps. Family members have both of the other "swing-out" steps on their RVs, and it is MUCH harder for us to climb OR descend the others. The Glowsteps are somewhat more expensive than the others (the others don't FOLD), but we have NO regrets about the cost. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the installation at this time. We have been working on "personalizing" this new trailer to the extent that we had done on the 2016, and we have been busy! lol
Love the steps, my second set. Would have been 5 stars but the bolts and nuts that came with the kit would not work together, felt like they were a different thread count maybe. I had some 8-32 bolts and nylock nuts that I used instead. Besides that, all is good.
Easy install, work great, love our new steps.
Easy to install. Just make sure if you have any drawers by the doorway, clear the lift brackets. I had to trim my cabinet drawer, which was no big deal.
Steps work great. Entry is a breeze.
It's rare when something on the Internet lives up to the hype, but these really do. I have a 5th-wheel that's pretty tall and I need the 5-step model of the GlowSteps.I was initially concerned that they would flex but they really don't; they are remarkably solid! I've had several RV sites that were not very level and these accommodate every site I've been -- that "hidden step" has come in handy a time or two.
The reason I initially bought these is because the 5th-wheel is so close to a fence when parked at home that I was unable to open the "drawbridge" type stairs that came with it -- I literally couldn't get into my new RV until I switched out the stairs! I was able to remove the drawbridge stairs and install these all from outside the camper.
I've found that these are better than a drawbridge type anyway because of how versatile they are with unlevel/uneven ground. These make for a flat, stable and safe stairway everywhere I've gone so far.
Shorter riser on steps is exactly what we needed much easier for us seniors to climb stairs
Just what we needed. We have a tight fit for our 5th wheel in our side yard. Now we can get in without having to hook up and move it to the street
This is one of the best products I’ve purchased. I replaced my Step-Above steps (<1 year old) with Torklift because of weight and ease of use...the coach parked next to me in storage never allowed enough room without pulling out my Solitude when gaining access. The install was a snap it took less than and hour with my buddy Tom. Matt at etrailor was top notch and helped coordinate the delivery while we were on the road. Five star rating for service, product and installation.
These were a replacement for the Morryde steps, which were just a little to short for my 5th wheel. These steps are great and much more functional than the MorRydes were. Awesome product. Thanks Etrailer!
Very well made steps. Took me about an hour to remove the old Moryde step above steps and install these in their place. Will definitely take care of my clearance issues. The box that the steps came in was decimated but all the parts were there and nothing was bent. Perhaps you could use a heavier cardboard packaging because one of the other channel guys said his packaging was totaled.
We LOVE our TorkLift Revolution steps. Our New Horizons fifth wheel sits pretty high off the ground, and having the Booster Step on the 5-step model has been great. We use that extra step more often than not. The steps are easy to pull out and put back in. And the glow squares are great when we're camping in a "Dark Sky" location. They're unobtrusive, but help us find our way in the dark. We have two of these, one for each entry door on our toyhauler. We've also used them like a ladder when stopping in tight places or on the side of the road where it slopes away too fast to put the stairs out. Very versatile and well-made, we highly recommend. In the photos, the back door has the 24" steps with the extra step not in use, and the front door (side with awnings) has the 28" steps with the extra step extended.
These steps were purchased to replace a factory set of MorRyde Step Above steps - excellent steps but with a fixed length. The fixed length did not allow us to get inside our trailer inside the storage barn.
The TorkLift steps are more flimsy (they flex) and don't have the side support of the MorRyde steps. The way they mount inside the door is not as robust as the MorRyde steps. To get a comforable angle we have to use the pull out bottom step everywhere we go (improved campgrounds) and those adjustable posts on the front corners will trip you all the time. The "glow" aspect doesn't apply to us because we use covers on the steps which covers them. The grooves in the steps are so aggresive they would grab our dog's claws (we keep them clipped). The big thing, and the reason they're still on, is that I can adjust them in the barn and get into the RV. If the ability to adjust the length wasn't so important I would put the MorRyde steps back on.
Fast delivery! Easy to installed, very stable! A little heavy to lift when folding up to store, but not horrible. Makes getting in and out of our 5th wheel much easier and safer!!
This is our second set of TorkLift steps that we have. We liked them so much on our old rv we had to get a set for the new rv.
Much more versatile than the Moryde steps I had before. Bonus is now I can deploy the steps when I'm parked in my storage unit. These are well made right here in the USA and were easy to install. The only slight downside is they are a bit heavierbut doable for the wife.
I’ve installed these steps into my 2023 Alliance Avenue. And it was super easy to do. The steps helped a lot with the bouncing as I was walking in and out of the 5th wheel while my wife was still sleeping in the mornings.
Pretty easy to install. It makes getting into the trailer possible regardless of how close the parking is. They are pretty stable as well. Only negatives are that the spring loaded pin you have to press in to adjust the height of the steps can be really hard to press while trying to raise the legs. And the bottom step latch doesn’t release easily.
Simple to install and love the lower rise height. Did have to do a little dremel work on a slooooopy weld that kept the stairs from deploying. Very pleased, now to see how well they "ride" inside. Great replacement for my Lippert Solid 2 step.
The product is a good replacement for the steps on my RV. Installation was pretty easy. One of the screws that attach the steps to the inside of the door frame was the wrong thread. Fortunately, my "parts box" contained a correct replacement, saving me a trip to the hardware store. Thank you for your quick delivery.
This step works as advertised it allows me to get into my ditch wheel where I have it parked on side of garage in a tight space so I can get in and out with ease. Before I had a step that need 3-4 foot opening to get steps down, no I only need space to unfold steps. Awesome product worth the investment.
These stairs are a great upgrade over the factory floating style stair. The installation was very easy and took less than hour including time to get tools out and put them away. The steps easily fold in and out and have smooth operation.
My trailer was towards the upper end of the 4 step height range, time will tell if they are tall enough or if I should of gone with the 5 step version.
As a note the box used to ship the stairs was not up to the task and arrived heavily damaged. The box had no reinforced corners and the stairs were just wrapped with some paper. Luckily they arrived undamaged.
Installed on Grand Design Reflection 337RLS
Replaced Lippert SolidStep 4 step with lift assist
Deck height: 38”, installed TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Uprising Steps with booster step (model A9005)
Pros:
* installation was straight forward
* Rock solid when using 4 steps. Ok, but less solid when 5th (booster) step is deployed. Steps are a bit steep with our 38” deck when not using the booster step so we wind up deploying it more often than not when set up at a campsite.
* You can fold these steps down anywhere there is room to fully open the trailer door. This is why we bought them … got a new “neighbor” where we store it and were no longer able to get into the trailer to load, unload, work on it, etc. The 4 step “drawbridge” extended too far out when swinging down.
Cons:
* heavyish … more effort to deploy than our lift-assisted SolidStep. Probably not much different than a SolidStep that doesn’t have lift assist, but I can’t say for sure.
* Not as solid as the SolidStep, particularly with the 5th step deployed. I don’t consider these an upgrade in our case, but they did solve our problem. I do not regret the purchase. I do feel that these would be an upgrade from traditional fold out RV stairs.
