These aluminum steps give you a solid, ground-to-door connection every time. The landing gear creates direct contact from the bottom step to the ground, while the adjustable legs and large rectangular footplates help keep things level, even on soft or uneven terrain. You get six full steps to match 42-3/8" to 49-7/8" entry heights, so climbing in and out feels natural and steady.
Each step has glow-in-the-dark tape that charges with just five minutes of light and then glows for up to ten hours. It outlines the step edges so you can see exactly where to place your feet in the dark. The built-in SureGrip tread adds traction in wet or dusty conditions, making every climb safer for you, kids, or pets.
The steps are made from aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel, which makes them light, rustproof, and tough enough for long-term use. Stainless steel hinges are bolted together, so you can easily add, remove, or replace individual steps if needed. Bushing bearings keep the motion smooth and prevent wear that can happen with riveted joints.
The scissor design folds up manually and locks into the doorframe with a side tab that keeps the steps from deploying while you’re on the move. Because the steps attach directly to the doorframe, they avoid any stress on the floor or exterior. When you’re ready to set up, they pull out fast and stay steady with a 300 lb weight capacity.

Hello neighbor, this is Steven with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna taking a look at these Torklift Glowstep Revolution Uprising steps. Now this particular kit is a six step version. We do sell other options on our website as well. Now these pull off steps are gonna make it really easy for you to get into or out of your RV, trailer camper, and they are designed specifically for vehicles that do not have a step well underneath the entryway. Now they do install onto your RV or camper's door frame, and that's gonna help avoid damage to the floor, or the exterior of your camper RV trailer.
They do require an entry height of 42 and three eighth inches up to 49 and seven eighth inches. The doorway width is gonna have to be 24 inches. The steps themselves are 20 inches wide, eight inches deep, and you're gonna have a rise of seven and a half inches between each step. Now they're rated at 300 pounds capacity and they do have a lifetime limited warranty. Again, they're made of aircraft grade aluminum and they have a stainless steel construction as well on the sides here.
All these different stainless steel hinges are bolted together for easy add-on or removal. You can take these steps out and replace them, or purchase new ones if you want to add one in the future or take one out if you need to take one out. The bushing bearings are gonna offer a very smooth action whenever you're scissoring these open and close, and they're gonna last a lot longer than some of the other manufacturers out there that use like rivets and those kind of things. Again, it's gonna come with your instructions and the hardware and a couple of Allen keys to install these. It's a super simple installation.
You get a nice heavy duty bracket here. While I'm zoomed in here, lemme go ahead and show you this grip tape that's built in here, so it's got a built in sure-grip on the top here. This is very, very, very, abrasive as far as giving you a good grip. If it's wet or muddy or something, it's gonna do real nice for you to keep you safe. Also, on these, you can kind of hear the tread.
(tread clinking) That's built into every single step. It's a really nice feature. You don't have to worry about anything peeling off or losing it or anything, And that's gonna keep you safe as well. If you can see here, it's got a built-in glow tape, and what I'll do is I'll shut off the lights here for a second and tell you about this tape. So it's hard to see in that particular view. Let me zoom out here. So now you can see very clearly these neon green fluorescent colored tape that lights up. This glow tape will last up to 10 hours, with only five minutes of sunlight or natural light. So very, very impressive. That's one of my favorite features, honestly, about these, five minutes and it glows already in the dark. Now I'm not outside, I'm just inside a studio here. We just have normal lights, but they are brighter than most. And again, you can see it's shining very, very clearly. Very, very safety thing here. And let's zoom back in here on the top. Now, like I was saying, these do scissor up and down. Let me show you this last feature here, before I close for the day. And if you're counting these during the video, you're only gonna see five steps. And like I told you at the beginning, this is a six step. So where's that last step Well, lemme show you. So at the bottom there's a simple locking lever. You pull over spring load it, and as you can see in the video, you just simply pull 'em up or down however you need. And as you can see in the video, it's a very, very super simple process that smooths to their action is really nice. The two side legs there, those are really nice, because you can adjust those up or down. Let's say you're on uneven ground, you need to just push one leg up or down to make your level steps, very simple to do. There's a spring push button there on the sides. You simply push that in and move them up or down depending on what you need for your movement there. Now another thing is you can kind of see these notches up here and this kind of plastic bushing. When you fold these up and scissor 'em down, that notch up here is gonna lock into this nylon bushing down there. So when you fold 'em up, you're gonna be able to lock 'em in place. That way when you're driving down the road, they're not gonna pop on loose on a pothole or anything like that. They're gonna be very stable for you and they're gonna last a long time. Well, I hope that you enjoyed the time today with me. I really, really do recommend these Torklift steps. We do sell a lot of 'em here, and install 'em here at etrailer.com, and it's one of our fan favorites. Again, they're lightweight, easy to use, the glow in the dark tape, the adjustability, it's just they by far out blow the competition in my opinion. So I hope this helps you with your decision. Again, this is Steven with etrailer.com. Have a great day.
Ratings & Reviews
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
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!
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
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.
