Features to know about

Sure Footing Every Time: 18" Wide Aluminum Steps with SureGrip Tread

Each step measures 18" wide x 6" deep and features a built-in SureGrip tread that keeps your footing secure. The solid traction surface makes climbing in and out feel natural and stable, even when the steps are wet or dusty. The 375 lb weight capacity gives you confidence that the stairs won’t flex or bend when loaded.

Safe Entry After Dark: Glow Tape Illuminates for Up to 10 Hours

The glow-in-the-dark tape on each platform lights up your path with no wiring or batteries needed. After just 5 minutes of light exposure, it glows for up to 10 hours, so you can see every step clearly when returning at night. It’s a simple, maintenance-free safety feature that adds peace of mind for evening or early-morning use.

Durable and Rustproof: Aircraft-Grade Aluminum with Stainless Steel Hinges

Built from aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel, these steps are tough and rustproof. The stainless hinges are bolted together, so you can easily remove or add steps as needed without replacing the whole assembly. The materials hold up well to weather and regular use while keeping the overall weight low for easy handling.

Compact and Easy to Store: Pull-Out Scissor Design

The pull-out scissor design folds up neatly when you’re ready to travel. Once detached, the lightweight aluminum steps store compactly without taking up much space. The design also makes it quick to attach again when you’re ready to set up camp, so you can get stable steps in place fast without heavy lifting.

Video Transcript for TorkLift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps Spec Review

Hello, neighbors and friends, Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at the TorkLift GlowStep camper steps, and they're a scissor step, and it's a four-step step. Now folks, these pullout steps make it really simple, easy to get in and out of your truck bed camper. The narrow steps are perfect for truck campers with skinny entry doors, and the scissor design lets you manually collapse and open the steps when it's time to fold 'em up for travel. So I kind of demo that real quick, simple fold-up design. They've even got, step up closer here, they even got a cable here.

You fold 'em up enough, you can put that cable in there, and then they're not gonna come back on you when you're traveling. Now, taking that cable back off, and you can kind of see that scissor design there from the side. Very nice, very easy to open. And I'll go ahead and put them back over here. Now, keep in mind this mounting bracket up here would be mounted to the camper, and then you could simply pull a pin on both sides and have the steps off.

Now, one thing I wanna mention is this glow tape. I'll zoom into the top here. So on each step there's one on each side, and this glow tape is really amazing. It glows in the dark for up to 10 hours with only five minutes of light exposure. I will turn off the overhead lights now and kind of demo that for you.

All right, so you can kind of see that glow there and I'll change my camera angle farther away. You can kind of see each tape there. I know you can't see it perfect with the indoor lighting and whatnot, but you kinda get the picture, right So again, 10 hours of light with only five minutes of light exposure. Pretty impressive. Now, these aircraft grade aluminum and stainless steel steps and risers and everything have this tread molded into them.

So it's gonna give you a nice, sure grip whenever you're walking on there. And like I said, the steel, or stainless steel, rather, hinges here on the sides, those are bolted together for easy add-on removal or even replacement of an individual step. So maybe you get a different camper in the future and you want to either remove a step or add one, it's pretty simple to do. Now, this is made here in the US. As far as some dimensions, these steps are 18 inches wide. So 18 inches wide. They're about six inches deep, and the whole capacity of this guy is 375 pounds. So it really is a nice, simple, easy to use application, but yet very, very sturdy. Now, one thing I do wanna point out again back from the top here is the hardware. You're gonna get a bag of hardware. I left it here in the bag just 'cause there's a lot of stuff and I'm limited with space with the steps out. But you get all the mounting hardware, fish tape, and the included instructions to install it as well. So you're gonna have everything you need, folks, to get these safely installed and use them. Well, folks, I think that's gonna wrap it up for our look at these TorkLift GlowSteps. I'm Steve, thanks for watching. Stay safe out there.

This step is wonderfully! Lightweight, easy to use, and very sturdy. Great product and perfect for our application.



by:

The stairs are what was advertised and was delivered on time. Great company no complaints. I would refer to anyone



by:

Solid steps. Great purchase and worth the money.



by:

Incredible steps on our crappy camper. install/uninstall is super easy. we travel with them tucked away. Even on uneven ground and at various heights the steps work well. So much better than our step ladder the dogs would always move around on us.



by:

Super impressed…great product, great service, great customer support, great tracking on shipment, great follow up. Highly recommend etrailer.com. We will definitely be using these folks for our RV purchases. Absolutely the best online shopping experience we have ever had!!!



by:

Worked perfect. Looks good



by:

As advertised ! Very good quality and, at least for me, easy install. Our camper bought used 10 years ago came with stairs that were never right. 5 steps.
These 6 step stairs were what we needed. Thanks for the prompt delivery also.



by:

This product fit my 2017 Northstar Arrow-U truck camper perfectly!
Shipping was fast and the etrailer.com price was great too!



by:

Great steps we went camping and were exactly what we wanted



by:

Even though my camper already had a mount for a previous ladder (which after 20+ years-broke) I was able to alter this units mount to mesh with just a little drilling. The unit appears very sturdy-even heavier than my old ladder. Shipping was fast.



by:

They fit perfectly. They are really stiff but should get a little better with time.



by:

Excellent product



by:

We are so glad we invested in these. I have bad knees and use a cane, so having these wide and sturdy steps makes it easy for me to enter and exit using my cane! Our setup is a little unusual, a built up canopy on a dually flatbed. The steps are so quick and easy to put up and down. We bought the six step model but found we only needed five. With some online instructions wow were able to tackle that too. We also bought the small keyed lock that is available.



by:

Our Palomino truck camper came with rear step bumper and a single flip down step.
The original bumper step was not very comfortable to use.
The TorkLift scissor steps are much better, safer and more comfortable!
These steps mount directly to the existing bumper brackets that the single step used. Perfect fit up!
Shipping and communication was great as well.
Thanks etrailer!



by:

Great product. Light weight, sturdy, well worth the safety. Easy to install on camper, hook up and take down a snap. Pleasure to deal with etrailer, fast shipping and pleasant employees. Knowledgeable and helpful. Steps work in Canada!



by:

These are very high quality steps! I mounted them to a large aluminum storage box that I have on a receiver style hitch plate The box and step combo make it really nice for getting up and into my camper. The nice thing about these steps is that you can purchase addition mounts and place them at other locations and use the same steps. They also fold and stow very neatly. I purchased the pin lock assy.... but if you have the room they are easy to remove and store elsewhere.



by:

I give this product 4 stars.

Adding
a side man door to my truck to rv conversion required a set of special folding steps.

After a year I am still impressed.

These stairs are strong and durable.

I weigh 250 lbs.

All through the construction phase of my project, I
have gone up and down, in and out hundreds of times carrying various construction related loads.

With all of the use to date, my TorkLift Scissor Steps are tight and right with many more years of service to enjoy in the future.

Great Steps for my FWC Hawk, Fairly user friendly to install once I decided an installation plan.I mounted them below the door entry using the provided Lag Bolts with SikaFlex 221 applied to the bolts and to the mounting bracket. I plan to see how that holds up and might go back and through bolt the bracket if needed! I might also add the Landing Pad Feet after seeing how it does off-road on uneven terrain.



by:

My camper came with the mounting bracket already attached so once I received my collapsible steps, I just inserted the two pins and boom they were ready to go very sturdy. Easy to apply could not be more satisfied. The only thing that these should have are adjustable feet on the end. I was not aware that this unit did not come with adjustable feet Other than that this would score 11 out of 10



by:

This step has been perfect for our self-built campulance! It shows perfectly on the existing bumper/step and has been a game changer for us and our dogs. We did a 12,000 mile trip last fall and this step held up great! It's pricey, but absolutely worth it.



by:

Great steps. We got them because I slipped on ice at night on our former sort of janky set up and ended up with a broken arm. Wanted something with more stability. Also wanted something easy to install and that needed little or no maintenance. These steps are it....but see below for the reason I gave them a 4 and not a 5 rating. Installed on a Four Wheel Camper Fleet. Installation was pretty straight forward, but every application will differ at least a little I would think. Really like the glow in the dark tape strip on each step. They are still working and still attached after a year. The one thing I don't like is the process you have to follow to attach them. Our dog rides in the camper so we have to attach the steps multiple times per day. You attach the steps to the mounting bar....sort of a rectangle with one of the long sides missing....using a 1/4 pin on each side. It works...and it doesn't take that long.....but it's alot of fumbling around to get it done. And it's clumsy at best for one person to do it by themselves. Torklift needs to do a better, simpler more elegant design. One other thing....unless you always are on flat level ground....make sure you get the optional leg levelers...one for each side. They will help you avoid that broken arm!!!

I’m extremely satisfied with the TorkLift RV steps I purchased from etrailer. Initially, I received defective parts, but I was able to quickly speak with a real, U.S.-based representative who promptly resolved the issue by sending replacement parts. I own a Wee Roll Nomad 14 camper, a custom DIY build that didn’t come with steps, and these TorkLift steps, paired with the landing gear, provide the perfect lower two-step setup for my rig. They feel incredibly stable and safe for entering and exiting the camper, and they look like a factory-matched fit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable step solution.  (Pro-Tip, padlocks work as a great alternative to the removable pins) Thank you etrailer!!!!



by:

The steps came very quickly from trailer. The truck camper I just bought already had a bracket for the glowstep so there really wasn't any instal needed. The 2 pins fit perfect in the bracket holes and the steps pull out very easily. The 4 steps are perfect height for my camper.



by:

Bought the one in sale due to a blemish or damaged box. The blemishes were so minor most people wouldn't even notice.
These steps are rock solid and very well built
Thank you



by:

As per usual, products received from etrailer arrive poorly packaged, broken, and/or missing parts.This is not the first time I’ve brought this to etrailers attention. They are sending a replacement so we’ll see if it’s any better…

  • Can TorkLift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps Be Left On Camper During Travel?
    Hello Thomas, thanks for reaching out. It is recommended to remove the TorkLift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps # TL86UR and store them during travel. I have seen people leave them on, but if you do this you will need to come up with a way to secure the step and stop it from opening. I have seen people do this with a rope or bungee cord and it works fine. Otherwise the best bet is to just remove them. Keeping them out of the elements will help them last longer.
