These steps glow in the dark so you can see exactly where to step after sunset. The glow tape charges with just 5 minutes of light and stays bright for up to 10 hours, so you don’t need wiring or batteries. It’s a simple feature that makes a big difference when climbing in or out after dark.
Each step is built from aircraft-grade aluminum with stainless steel hinges, giving you strength without unnecessary weight. The 3-step design supports up to 350 lbs and stays solid underfoot. Stainless steel hardware resists rust, so these steps hold up well over time in any weather.
The scissor layout opens into a stable set of stairs with a natural 7-1/2" drop/rise between each step. When it’s time to pack up, the whole assembly collapses smoothly and folds up for storage. You get a sure, steady climb when deployed and compact storage when not in use.
Each 20" wide, 6" deep tread has a built-in SureGrip surface that keeps your footing secure even in wet or dusty conditions. It feels stable and predictable, which helps when you’re carrying gear, managing pets, or handling uneven terrain.
The hinges are bolted together, so you can remove or add steps if your setup changes later. That modular design, paired with rustproof aluminum and stainless steel parts, means these steps are made to last through years of use without flexing or corrosion.

Hello, neighbors. I'm Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at these TorkLift Glowsteps. They're a camper scissor step, three steps, 20 inches wide, and rated for 350 pounds. Now folks, these pull out steps are gonna make it super simple and easy to get in and out of your towable or your truck bed camper. Now it does sport a very nice, what we call "scissor step design." You can see that better from that angle.
And you can simply collapse them and retract them whenever you need to use them and put them on, no problems whatsoever. So I wanna show you the backside while we're opening and closing this. Whenever you close these, there's also a little notch here. That's what this wire goes around. That's gonna push over the top of that whenever these are stowed.
That way, whenever you're going down the road, they can't fall off or anything. So very nice feature to point out. And also why I'm zoomed in here. You got the pins on both sides. That's for this bracket to come off.
This bracket would stay on the RV, camper, towable, or whatnot. On the side, you can kind of see the scissor effect. Very nice. And you can see that neon green, what they call "glow tape." So let's go over all those features that I just showed you up close. Let me get this open.
All right, so I wanna start with the glowsteps. I'm gonna shut the overhead lights off real quick. All right folks, so I know it's hard to see in this low light setting. Let me switch out to this angle. So now with this camera, you can see that neon green color. That's their glow tape. It's gonna create a lighted at step surface. You can safely enter and exit out of the camper at night. They already adhere on the platform of the steps themselves, and they're pretty impressive, with only five minutes of sunlight exposure or light exposure, just like we're inside here today, these will go in the dark for up to 10 hours. So pretty impressive. Again, it's not too visible in that scene. Put the lights back on. Folks, again, everything here, aircraft-grade aluminum, stainless steel construction as well. It's very, very durable and rustproof. It's got built in, you can hear that. That's what they call their "sure grip tread," built into the surface of every step. It's gonna be an excellent, excellent footing. You don't have to worry about tripping or falling or anything like that. Again, stainless steel hinges, they're bolted together. That's that scissoring effect on the sides I was showing you earlier. You can technically add or remove a step. If you wanna add a step, we sell those separately. You can remove a step if three's too much. These are made in the USA. Very nice lifetime warranty. Again, rated at 350 pounds. Now as far as some dimensions, the rise of each step is gonna be seven and a half inches, or drop, however you want to call it. The mounting bracket up here that I showed you earlier, that's 21 and a half inches wide by eight and nine 16ths inches deep. These will work with an entry height of 23 and a half to 30 and a half inches. So again, your entry height from the ground up to the top of wherever you're gonna be mounting these and whatnot needs to be between 23 and a half or 30 and a half. Now keep in mind, these are mounting on straight. That bracket would be straight on the side of the camper, or the towable or whatnot. I just have it up here so it don't fall over on me. All right, and I'll go to an overhead view just so I can kind of zoom in on these parts here. So all the hardware that comes with it, you get nuts, bolts, washers, lock washers. I left all that in here just 'cause I'm limited in space. You get these two aluminum spacer blocks. You may need them behind the bracket for the install to kind of pump it out a little bit from the camper or towable. And you get this nice fish wire. You can see it's got that coil in there. That's for the bolts to thread into, and then you can pull them out through the hole the opposite way if it's in the area that you can't reach comfortably and you can't get too easily. Now these steps are 20 inches overall wide, and six inches deep. So a nice spot for you to put your foot on. You got plenty of space there. Well, folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our look at these TorkLift Glowsteps. Again, they're a scissor step, quantity of one, but the steps, there's three of them. And again, they're 20 inches wide. I'm Steven. Thank you so much for your time. I hope this information's been helpful. These do make a real, really nice addition to any RV, camper, or towable. Highly, highly recommend them. Again, the glow tape is another nice feature that I just think is pretty neat. Have a good day, folks.

This step is wonderfully! Lightweight, easy to use, and very sturdy. Great product and perfect for our application.
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!!!
Worked perfect. Looks good
Great steps we went camping and were exactly what we wanted
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.
They fit perfectly. They are really stiff but should get a little better with time.
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.
Excellent product
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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
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!!!!
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.
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
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.
Great product. Easy installation and the Glowsteps are really a help after dark.
Sturdy, easy to use, good value
This product fit my 2017 Northstar Arrow-U truck camper perfectly!
Shipping was fast and the etrailer.com price was great too!
