Specs:
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. The one-of-a-kind landing gear legs take the wobble out of the stirs, adjusting to the perfect height to make the steps even. 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.

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.
Very sturdy for my truck is 54 " of the ground
Easy to use I had to use nuts and bolts to help stairs reach the 350 lb. The lag bolts pulled out under heavy weight.
These are quality steps and we love them! We made the mistake of purchasing a cheaper style and they ended up bowing in the middle due to poor design and construction. That will not happen with these! Better made, better design, and glowing in the dark is a huge plus!
Worth every penny! Easy to use, very solid, adapts to different terrain. Should have been my first purchase for the camper.
The steps are great, easy to install. Better care when packaging would make it even better.
These steps are a life saver. The steps that came with our camper are a death trap. I can't believe we didn't order these sooner! I highly recommend this product for anyone with a camper that has a high entry point. E-Trailer has been extremely helpful and professional and is what customer service should be like.
Worked perfectly on my truck camper
worked very well installed on a bigfoot camper with a basement with a small mod to the top mounting bracket
Great heavy duty steps, it will work great for my application
These Torklift GlowStep Scissor Steps (6 step) with Landing Gear are excellent! I built a fixed platform top step to mount these so that we can use them to board our very tall houseboat when it's on the trailer in our yard. The steps attach approximately 50" off the ground, with the highest step about 48" off the ground, plus the top step of the platform I built, bringing us to the requisite 54" of height to climb aboard easily.
Much quicker, easier, and safer for our kids to go up and down than a ladder, especially when carrying objects like blankets, toys, or heavy propane cylinders. Best of all, I can fold them up out of the way to mow the lawn.
They're less wobbly than I thought they might be. At the top three steps, you can feel ever so slight flex, but nothing disconcerting that throws you off balance. And I trust the 325lbs. rated capacity. I weigh 190 and I jumped on them (gently), with very little flex and no sense they were in danger of buckling.
They were a little spendy with the landing gear, but worth it in my opinion for the safety and convenience they add for our needs. I would estimate the 6-step version with landing gear weighs ~40 lbs., but it feels lighter than that to carry (no problem to move them around). I was surprised that I had to install the Landing Gear legs myself when ordered this way, but it only took removal of four screws/nuts and about 15 minutes to replace the stock aluminum leg with the Landing Gear.
The Landing Gear is super nice. The legs are lighter than expected, and very easy to adjust, with swivel feet and multiple height settings to accommodate uneven terrain easily. Again, they're a little spendy but nicer than anything I could've built myself, and probably lighter and stronger too. What good are stairs if you can't level them properly for good stability, so I think they're a must-have.
All in all, very nice stairs and the best solution you're going to find of this collapsible/portable/lightweight type. Highly recommended!
I bought these steps for my slide in truck camper and they are the bomb. They are easy to install, super stable and very adjustable for uneven or sloped ground. Also, I didn't think it was a big deal to have the glow strips but they sure are a big help at night. I thought these steps were so great that I bought the scissor steps designed for my toy hauler camper as well and no more bouncy bouncy entering and exiting with the cheap factory steps.
These steps look and work great!!!
Nice upgrade for my Alaskan.
Very nice and great quality product. We are preparing to install, but so far we are very pleased, and will come in handy with our upcoming trip where camper will not come off the truck. GREAT QUALITY!!!
Great customer service and speedy delivery! We clamped the steps into place and theylook great. Can't wait to get them mounted on our rig.
Really appreciate Cammi’s help on this and how quickly I received this product!! 5 stars!!!
Great service by etrailer.com, fast delivery. Paperwork/manual for the stairs in the box. The "Landing Gear" came in a sperate box with a manual for the stairs (second copy), but none for the "Landing Gear. Got on their website to look at pictures see how they fit to install them. Worked out.
The 5 step Torklift steps work very well for our setup. We have a Ram pickup that is lifted and running 37" tires. Bought the steps for a Four Wheel Camper Hawk popup camper. The mount point for the stairs is 42" off the ground, so we needed a good solution for entry/exit, it's way too tall for us to use step stools or short ladders.
The steps were easy to install (took about 30 minutes total) and are very solid in use. The landing gear option for the base was a very good addition as we are almost always camped on uneven terrain. The landing gear is very adjustable with enough steps/stops so I can always get the steps level and solid.
Attaching and removing the steps is pretty quick. They weigh 31.5 lbs, so there's a bit of heft to them, but to be expected for something as heavy duty as these are.
Overall, my wife and I really like the steps after our first year of use. They are solid, the treads provide a good grip even when wet, snowy, muddy, or all of the above. The glow strips are nice too in the late evening or middle of the night and provide a good step guide.
