Made of durable, rustproof aluminum, the GlowSteps are built to last. The heavy-duty stainless steel hinges provide strength and stability, and they can be easily taken apart in case you need to remove steps or add a step onto the existing stairs. SureGrip tread on each step surface helps to ensure proper footing as you climb into or out of your camper or RV. And best of all, the GlowSteps come with premium glow-in-the-dark tape for excellent visibility at night. Each strip of tape requires only 5 minutes of light exposure for it to illuminate up to 10 hours.
Will Torklift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps Work for You?
Scissor steps are typically installed on truck campers. The GlowStep scissor steps from Torklift are simple to install. After the initial installation, they're also easy to attach when needed and detach for compact storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Torklift GlowStep scissor steps have a single mounting bracket that attaches to either the camper wall or the truck bumper beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available for the mounting bracket on your application and measure the width and height. You will need a mounting space of at least 20" wide x 1" tall.
Once you have an approximation of where the mounting bracket will go, the spot you chose 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.
The chart below displays entry height measurements in the first column. The step part numbers with the 21-1/2" mounting bracket width are in the second column.
This page's step assembly is in bold text.
| Entry Height | 21-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width |
|---|---|
| 16" - 23" | TLA7802 |
| 16" - 27" | TLA7802-8000 |
| 23-1/2" - 30-1/2" | TLA7503, TLA7803 |
| 23-1/2" - 34-1/2" | TLA7803-8000, TLA7503-8000 |
| 31" - 38" | TLA7804, TLA7504 |
| 31" - 42" | TLA7804-8000, TLA7504-8000 |
| 38-1/2" - 46" | TLA7505, TLA7805 |
| 38-1/2" - 50" | TLA7505-8000, TLA7805-8000 |
| 46-1/2" - 54" | TLA7506, TLA7806 |
| 46-1/2" - 58" | TLA7806-8000, TLA7506-8000 |
How Do You Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
-Make sure the assembly is centered beneath the doorway
-Secure in place with included lag screws
Add any of these accessories to your GlowSteps for stability, eliminating gaps, and keeping your steps and RV interior clean. The GlowGuide handrail (TLA7621 - sold separately) attaches to the outside of your RV and a bracket on the bottom of the steps. This helps to steady the assembly and adds 25 lbs to the weight capacity of the stairs. The SafeStep vinyl barrier (TLA7602 - sold separately) easily fastens with Velcro strips in between any 2 steps. This prevents you or your pets from accidentally slipping between steps. The DirtDestroyer boot brush (TLA7603 - sold separately) affixes to the bottom of the steps so you can scrape your shoes before climbing into your RV.

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.
