The TorkLift GlowStep Revolution 5-Step System gives you solid footing even when the ground isn’t level. The built-in landing gear legs adjust independently to create full ground contact, while the scissor design keeps each tread flat. You can fine-tune the stair height using a simple release lever with three elevation settings—high, medium, or low—so your entry stays secure no matter the campsite. With a 325 lb weight capacity, these steps don’t flex or wobble when loaded.
Each step is built with real stair spacing for a comfortable stride. The 7-1/2" drop/rise feels easy on knees and joints, and the 22" wide by 8" deep SureGrip treads give you plenty of space for stable footing. Owners like that these steps feel more like walking into a house than climbing a ladder, and they especially appreciate the confidence it gives to older adults and pets.
Glow-in-the-dark strips line both sides of every tread, lighting your way for up to 10 hours after just 5 minutes of light exposure. The glow tape adheres directly to the sides of the step platforms, so you can easily see where to place your feet during late-night entry or early-morning exits.
These steps are strong, corrosion-resistant, and designed for years of use. The aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel hinges resist rust and flexing, and the bushing bearings provide smooth, long-lasting movement. The bottom landing feet are large and rectangular to prevent sinking into soft ground.
When it’s time to travel, the steps collapse neatly under the doorway for compact storage. The 27-1/2" wide mounting base bolts securely in place with the included hardware, and the lever locks with a bail pin for transport. These steps stay outside your doorway—keeping dirt and water out of your living space while staying ready for quick deployment when you stop again.

Ratings & Reviews
We are extremely pleased with the Torklift Glowstep Revolution (TLA8004). It is solidly built, easy to install, easy to operate, and a suitable price!
We are also extremely pleased with etrailer's customer service! Upon receipt of the new steps, we immediately noticed that one of the landing feet and one of the guide pins were bent. The shipping box did not show the type of damage that could have caused the problem.
I emailed etrailer, and within 24 hours they had gotten back to me and the replacement parts would be shipped shortly. This was all during the height of the COVID-19 virus shutdowns. About 7 days later the parts arrived and within 15 minutes I had the damaged parts replaced.
I am grateful for both etrailer and Torklift customer service. Both are exceptional!
Rock Solid!!! Worth every penny.
Replaced my trailer's original springboard steps that were flexing more and more. At first, I was concerned about fit. Reached out with measurements and received an A8004 recommendation for my 2010 Montana Mountaineer. Once installed I discovered I had more ground clearance than I had with the OEM steps. Not sure if it can be seen in the front on picture, the trailer frame lower than the bottom step in its stowed position. The adjustable top step is an absolute great invention.
Had to disassemble some of the sidings to the left and right of the step mounting brackets to get at the OEM mounting bolts. Space between factory brackets expanded almost 0.5 inches once OEM steps were removed. Had to stop and get spacers. Mounted the A8004 steps with spacers on each side. My wife assisted with aligning and balancing the new steps while I bolted them in. Ignoring the other prep work that had to be done, it took me about 1 hour to actually unbolt and remove the OEM steps and bolt in the new steps.
I ordered one set and they were too small. Sent them back without a problem. I received the new ones and they fit perfect. Took me about 20 minutes to put them on. All in all very happy with my purchase. E trailer has been outstanding.
Took longer to remove old steps than to install scissor steps. One man job with screw jack and scrap 2X4s. Much easier to enter and exit trailer now. Wife is very happy for the upgrade!
We have a unique situation with our truck camper sitting on a flatbed, rather than in a standard truck bed. We sit quite a bit higher and needed the 6 step Glowsteps. Because we are so high, we could have used a 7th step but that was not an option at the time. We added extra long legs, a foot stool and an extra long handle bar to aid in getting in the rig. We also added some carpet strips to help with tracking dirt into the camper The steps have been great! There are multiple options for leveling the top step, the steps have some flex to them but we feel safe on them. We are able to get them in and out of the locked position easily. They were a great solve to our problem.
Very easy install. This is my second set on a different rv. I use these because the flip up steps do not work because of the door style when closing the door. The four step option was right on the edge for fitment but with the adjustment on the top tread it works great.
I was a little concerned about how difficult it would be to install new steps but I shouldn't have been. The instructions are very clear, the included hardware is easy to identify and the steps fit perfectly using one of the two included spacers. They are a bit heavy for one person to keep up while placing the first bolt, so grab a friend for that part. They operate very easily (little effort required to pull out/push in) and they feel sturdy. The quality appears good as well - no rough edges, paint is even, everything square. These are excellent steps!
Just installed today on a 2021 Grand Design Imagine XLS 22MLE. These steps are solid, easy to install and work fine in my level driveway. With the camping season coming up, we'll see how they are while boondocking. Time will tell, but I think they're going to be one of the best things I've done with my camper.
Arrived quickly and in good shape! Bought a gently used unit for a very good discount. It will take time to get it installed, but so far so good.
Game changer!!! We replaced our original 3 step system with the 4 step Torklift Glow Revolution. These new steps are solid with no movement. The rise between steps is much easier for my 5’ frame to maneuver. They also make it easier for my small dog to enter and exit the trailer. Start to finish, it took my husband about 45 minutes to remove the original steps and install the new ones. By far, these steps have been the best upgrade we’ve made to our 2023 Grand Design Reflection 150 Series 295RL.
I have an older travel trailer that had the “old” style steps. I replaced them with these steps. I had to modify the connection points slightly, no big deal, just drilled holes as needed. These steps are awesome, they work great considering my wife and I are both in our seventies we needed steps that were more solid and stable.
We are a retired full time RV couple with 2 dogs. We have disliked our OEM steps for @ 4 years, finally made the decision to upgrade to the Torklift. Both of us have fallen a couple of times off the OEM steps. We have a 2020 Grand Design 303 RLS, we used part A8004. Fit of the Torklift steps is perfect. I ordered the steps on a Friday, go them on a Tuesday. The box looked a little rough on the outside, everything on the inside was fine. The install took about an hour. The old steps came off easy, I ended up using 14 mm sockets and wrenches for both removal and install. I watched a few videos on YouTube and read the info from the Torklift website. The supplied hardware was great. My wife helped me, so we did the two person recommendation of the manual of extending the steps to the ground. I think that was easy and quicker than removing the torklift steps from their mount. We played around with the adjustments to find a setup for our current campsite. We move anywhere from 3x/week to monthly, so ease of use is very important. My wife really likes having 4 steps over 3, and I think it will be easier for my dogs as they age. The dogs adapted quickly to the new stairs. The Torklift steps are far more stable then the OEM they replaced, even with the aftermarket stabilizer legs we installed from Lippert. I wish we had done this sooner. This was an easy upgrade that we use all the time. I do like that that quick instructions are on the front of the step so if you need some "coaching" its right there for operating the steps.
I was impressed by the substantial look and feel of the product as well as the quality of the construction. The installation was straightforward and the steps bolted directly in place of the existing ones. Once installed they worked exactly as expected. Also impressive was speed of the delivery of my order and a name and number to contact if I experienced any issues.
Lightweight, looks good and solid feeli ng
much easier to climb than original stai rs
Great product light weight and installed in factory step well on Montana 5th wheel with no modifications needed.
I chose to give this purchase 4 stars. The pricing for the product was the best that I could find. The product was delivered to Wisconsin in only two days from the time of ordering , which I found extremely prompt. However, my one complaint,(which I have seen in other reviews), is that the packaging from the manufacturer, is extremely flimsy and weak. The tape holding the packaged product had come almost completely off of the package. Very fortunately, the product, ( which I must admit is very strong and sturdy), was not damaged. I would think that etrailer, knowing that this is a constant problem, would take the time to re-package the product so as not to have this continuing situation.
Product was as expected and installation wasn’t too difficult with two people doing it. I think it would have been very difficult for only one person. The steps are much easier to go up and down as they have a shorter rise than normal camper steps. I’m anxious to use them on a camping trip!
Purchased the 5 step Glowstep Revolution. Received it very quickly. Installation instructions were for either one or two people, I did it alone. Instructions and actual installation was very straight forward. Purchased this product to increase the stability of the steps getting in and out of our fifth wheel. The A8005 did just that. Would recommend this product and e-trailer to anyone
We purchased the steps for our 5th wheel last year as the steps that came with the RV were not stable enough. My wife has knee problems and is "short" so we needed better steps. These steps are perfect for stability, but also the steps are much closer together in height. We can adjust them to the proper height usage according to the level of the campsite!
Love these steps.
Installed the steps and found that I needed the adapter plate for a top mounted bolt pattern. I did not want to wait to have them ordered and shipped so I made some out of angle Iron I had at home. 2' angle cut and drilled with no problem and they worked fine. I found that the install was a little more work than I thought likely due to my home made brackets. Once installed they took a minute to figure out the various levels and how they affected the angle of the stairs.
These steps appear to be very well made out of quality material, very heavy duty aluminum steps and scissor mechanism. Lower legs are strong and well built. A little difficult to push adjusting button in but very sturdy when in contact with the ground.
These steps take all of the bounce out of the up and down trips out of the fifthwheel. Much better Than the aluminum aftermarket steps I was replacing.
Only thing that surprised me was the amount of pressure required to collapse the steps back into the closed position. This may get easier as they are used more and lubed. Much more stable that OEM steps and they do not get folded up into the interior of the fifthwheel with dirt and water like with the solid step system.
I bought these steps because I needed something sturdy and stable, but I wanted them to stay outside. I've had the ones that fold into the doorway, and they are stable, but they bring dirt into the camper, can damage the doorway and are not usable in tight locations.
So, one year later and we still love the steps! They were simple to install. Maybe not "easy" but I had someone helping me that, also, was not familiar with doing things like this. It took us about 2 hours. If I had a jack or something that could lift the stairs, that would have helped. The "glow" part is a luminescient square of material on either side of each stair, and it glows bright for several hours after sunset. I thought it would be "cheesy," not work well and expected it to peel off by now. But it really performs well.
The stairs are well-made and strong. They flex a little bit, but are very stable. I can extend them fully for a longer run, or move them in if I need to. They really adapt to the situation. I like how they lock up under the camper. It takes a little practice to get the hang of extending and stowing the steps. But it takes up no extra space in the camper and brings no dirt inside. It was a good purchase. No regrets.
Our rig is a 2015 Lifestyle LS39FB 5th wheel and was factory equipped with the typical fold down steel steps. The issue with the stock steps is that the bottom step was rather high off the ground after I raised the coach in order to gain more clearance between the underside of the nose and the truck bed; my wife had a hard time getting in and out of the coach.
I researched these steps for quite some time before purchase and came to the conclusion that they were the best solution. The stock steps were attached via four vertical studs, so I also purchased the vertical stud adapter bracket, part number TLA8022.
I completed the installation just today and was very pleased to find that they were a "near bolt-on" installation. The only obstacle was that the entry light mounted on the back wall of the stair pocket was too high for the new steps and had to be moved downward about 3/8". Fortunately, the hole for the wiring was oversized so all I had to do was remove the screws from the light fixture, move the fixture down, and put the screws back in
Both my wife and I very pleased with the steps. The bottom step is much closer to the ground and the separately adjustable landing gear is great, especially since the place we park the coach at home is not level.
We did find it necessary to adjust the bolts on the scissors to make it easier to fold the steps back up - this topic is well covered in the owners manual.
Finally, these steps are very well engineered, very well made, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Do you have a question about this RV Step?

Still liking them after a year of use. We did have one mishap that damaged the landing gear on the steps. We were on a dirt road rife with stutter-bumps washboard and the retaining pin vibrated out of the latch. That allowed the latch to move upward and the steps fell to the ground while in motion I had to replace the landing gear and straighten out a couple of the aluminum scissors. Considering that the steps were dragged for close to a quarter mile and that was he only damage is testament to quality construction of the steps. To prevent the problem from happening again, we installed a hitch pin with integral safety wire in the second pin hole on the latch, so now we have two pins locking the steps in the stowed position.
