Features to know about

Easier Entry at Any Campsite Height: 4-Step Design Extends to 5 Steps

The GlowStep Revolution Uprising gives you a full 4-step setup that quickly extends to 5 steps with the built-in booster. With an entry height range of 34-7/8" to 42-3/8" and a standard 7-1/2" rise, it’s easy to fine-tune the stair height so each step feels natural. The scissor design folds out smoothly and gives you a steady climb whether you’re parked on level pavement or a sloping campsite.

Stable on Uneven Ground: Landing Gear with Adjustable Legs

The landing gear at the base connects solidly to the ground so the steps don’t bounce or shift when you step on them. Each leg is adjustable, letting you level the stairs even when one side of the campsite sits higher than the other. Large rectangular footplates spread the load and keep the base from sinking into soft ground, giving you solid footing every time.

Safe to Use Day or Night: Glow Tape and SureGrip Tread

Each step surface has built-in SureGrip tread to help prevent slipping in wet weather. Glow tape runs along both sides of every tread and charges in just 5 minutes of light, glowing for up to 10 hours after dark. You can see exactly where to place your feet when coming or going at night without needing extra lights.

Built Strong for Everyday Use: 325 lb Capacity and Aircraft-Grade Aluminum

These steps are built from aircraft-grade aluminum with stainless-steel hinges and hardware, giving them a 325 lb weight capacity and keeping them rust-free through years of travel. Smooth-action bushing bearings make folding and unfolding easy while reducing wear compared to riveted connections. Each tread locks securely into the frame, so the entire assembly feels solid underfoot.

Compact Fold-Up Storage: Fits Cleanly Into the Door Frame

When it’s time to travel, the steps collapse upward and latch inside the doorway. The folded stack sits about two feet high, keeping the entry clean and clear while you’re on the road or parked in tight storage spaces. It’s a simple, sturdy way to bring real step comfort into your trailer without sacrificing space.

Great product. Fit perfectly and very easy installation. Also, very fast shipping.



by:

The package was not in the best shape upon arrival, but the steps appear to be unharmed. The installation instructions were laid out nicely and very clear.



by:

The steps worked great. Good concept but unfortunately my wife could not raise them up by herself so we had to go back to the strut assisted steps that came with our RV.



by:

Package arrived damaged. When opened only steps were inside. No screws, nuts, bolts, brackets, whatever else that should have been included, not even instructions or invoice. Unacceptable.

Definitely not acceptable! Let me look into this for you. We will be in touch!



by:

A big improvement over the MorRyde steps. One improvement that could be made is an easier to use leg let-down mechanism. The release on the legs takes a fairly strong hand to depress the button and another hand to pull the leg down to the next notch. This leaves no hands to lift the steps so the leg can extend an extra bit to accommodate it sinking into the ground a bit when weight is applied. If the leg needs to go down a few inches, it's a tedious process.

My fifth step will not release or the linkage is too tight for it to drop. This is probably an adjustment that I can make.



by:

One of the better accessories we've added to the trailer. Makes life easy unwinding and rewinding the bulky 50a cord. Easy install.live it !



by:

We had a set of these on our 2014 KZ Toyhauler and loved them. WE expect the same from these - to be mounted this weekend (Memorial Day weekend)
The only downside was due to the delivery system. We had to send back two sets of 'damaged in transit' sets (broken boxes and pieces hanging out on my front porch). The third time was the charm. Customer service on all of this was EXEMPLARY!! Every one spoken to and emailed back & forth was exceedingly pleasant and knowledgeable to deal with.



by:

Just finished the installation. I replaced Mor-Ryde steps, which came stock in our Grand Design. The original steps are good, but we had Torkilifts on out prior camper and really liked them. They are sturdy and the level of the camper is not an issue anymore when wanting to open the camper door wit the Mor-Ryde steps. Definitely would recommend. (They are pricey, but it is a quality item.)



by:

Love the steps, my second set. Would have been 5 stars but the bolts and nuts that came with the kit would not work together, felt like they were a different thread count maybe. I had some 8-32 bolts and nylock nuts that I used instead. Besides that, all is good.

Hi Mark, you should've received the correct hardware. I'll get this taken care of for you.

We bought Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps from etrailer.com for our previous 2016 Rockwood 8329SS, which had a stepwell. We have now traded for a 2019 Flagstaff 8321KBS (Forest River twins: same trailers and floorplan, made in same factory, different brand names, which doesn't have a stepwell to mount the Glowstep Revolution steps, so we had to order the Glowstep Revolution UPRISING steps for the Flagstaff, also from etrailer. The Flagstaff came factory equipped with the swing-out SolidSteps that fold upwards into the doorway, and there isn't room in our RV garage to open these steps. The Torklift Glowstep Revolution UPRISING steps were our only option if we wanted to gain access to the interior of our trailer while in the garage. Unlike the Rockwood, we had no stepwell in which to install the Glowstep Revolution steps, as we installed on the Rockwood. Like the Lippert Solidsteps, they also swing up to store upside down inside the doorway, but the folded stack of 5 steps is only about 2 feet high when folded and stored inside. Torklift Glowsteps can be used to gain access into a travel trailer in any "tight" place. They can be extended straight down and used like a ladder, if need be. I have disabilities, but the UPRISING steps were easier for me to install, because all the work was at waist level, instead of under the stepwell. The steps attach to the trailer doorframe with 6 bolts. You do have to do some precise measuring before you drill those 6 holes. It was tedious work to mark the holes, but not difficult. The UPRISING steps have a "booster" step under the bottom step that will fold out if the terrain surrounding the trailer is lower than the surface the wheels are parked on, and we have camped in sites that did require folding out the "booster" (5th) step, making a separate 4-legged platform unnecessary. All in all, we like the UPRISING steps just as much or better than the regular Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps that store in a stepwell. At 70 and 71, with my wife's "trick" hip and my "bum" knees, the 7 1/2-inch rise of Torklift's "scissoring" steps make it MUCH easier for us to get into and out of our RV than SolidSteps, Step Above, or factory hanging steps. Don't be worried about any minor 'flexing" of the steps when using them. You don't feel it, and Torklift has been making these steps for truck campers for a long, long time. However, we will be purchasing the Torklift "quick-connect" railing system soon. I am taller than my wife, and have little balance problems with them at this time, but with the 5th "booster" step deployed, my wife feels she may lose her balance if she doesn't go slowly and hang on to the door. It IS a "long way" to the ground when the "booster" step is deployed, and just this elevation can make some people feel uneasy without a railing for "reassurance". Even if we didn't have the clearance problem with the SolidSteps or Step Above steps in our garage, we still prefer the Torklft Glowsteps because of the reduced "rise" between steps. Family members have both of the other "swing-out" steps on their RVs, and it is MUCH harder for us to climb OR descend the others. The Glowsteps are somewhat more expensive than the others (the others don't FOLD), but we have NO regrets about the cost. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the installation at this time. We have been working on "personalizing" this new trailer to the extent that we had done on the 2016, and we have been busy! lol

Easy install, work great, love our new steps.



by:

Just what we needed. We have a tight fit for our 5th wheel in our side yard. Now we can get in without having to hook up and move it to the street



by:

These were a replacement for the Morryde steps, which were just a little to short for my 5th wheel. These steps are great and much more functional than the MorRydes were. Awesome product. Thanks Etrailer!

Fantastically! They were exactly what I needed.



by:

This is one of the best products I’ve purchased. I replaced my Step-Above steps (<1 year old) with Torklift because of weight and ease of use...the coach parked next to me in storage never allowed enough room without pulling out my Solitude when gaining access. The install was a snap it took less than and hour with my buddy Tom. Matt at etrailor was top notch and helped coordinate the delivery while we were on the road. Five star rating for service, product and installation.

My Torklift stairs remains the best purchase I’ve made for my Solitude. No matter where we stop these conform to every situation.



by:

Glad I got rid of my Step Above!!!!



by:

Very well made steps. Took me about an hour to remove the old Moryde step above steps and install these in their place. Will definitely take care of my clearance issues. The box that the steps came in was decimated but all the parts were there and nothing was bent. Perhaps you could use a heavier cardboard packaging because one of the other channel guys said his packaging was totaled.

Very well. Have performed beautifully. Have been able to adjust to any situation and many that the old Moryde steps would not have worked.



by:

These steps were purchased to replace a factory set of MorRyde Step Above steps - excellent steps but with a fixed length. The fixed length did not allow us to get inside our trailer inside the storage barn.

The TorkLift steps are more flimsy (they flex) and don't have the side support of the MorRyde steps. The way they mount inside the door is not as robust as the MorRyde steps. To get a comforable angle we have to use the pull out bottom step everywhere we go (improved campgrounds) and those adjustable posts on the front corners will trip you all the time. The "glow" aspect doesn't apply to us because we use covers on the steps which covers them. The grooves in the steps are so aggresive they would grab our dog's claws (we keep them clipped). The big thing, and the reason they're still on, is that I can adjust them in the barn and get into the RV. If the ability to adjust the length wasn't so important I would put the MorRyde steps back on.

The assessment after a year is the same as the first review. The ability to adjust the length of the steps outside the door and get inside the trailer while inside the barn is more important than the other faults.



by:

Fast delivery! Easy to installed, very stable! A little heavy to lift when folding up to store, but not horrible. Makes getting in and out of our 5th wheel much easier and safer!!



by:

This is our second set of TorkLift steps that we have. We liked them so much on our old rv we had to get a set for the new rv.



by:

Much more versatile than the Moryde steps I had before. Bonus is now I can deploy the steps when I'm parked in my storage unit. These are well made right here in the USA and were easy to install. The only slight downside is they are a bit heavierbut doable for the wife.



by:

I’ve installed these steps into my 2023 Alliance Avenue. And it was super easy to do. The steps helped a lot with the bouncing as I was walking in and out of the 5th wheel while my wife was still sleeping in the mornings.



by:

Pretty easy to install. It makes getting into the trailer possible regardless of how close the parking is. They are pretty stable as well. Only negatives are that the spring loaded pin you have to press in to adjust the height of the steps can be really hard to press while trying to raise the legs. And the bottom step latch doesn’t release easily.



by:

The product is a good replacement for the steps on my RV. Installation was pretty easy. One of the screws that attach the steps to the inside of the door frame was the wrong thread. Fortunately, my "parts box" contained a correct replacement, saving me a trip to the hardware store. Thank you for your quick delivery.



by:

This step works as advertised it allows me to get into my ditch wheel where I have it parked on side of garage in a tight space so I can get in and out with ease. Before I had a step that need 3-4 foot opening to get steps down, no I only need space to unfold steps. Awesome product worth the investment.

Installed on Grand Design Reflection 337RLS
Replaced
Lippert SolidStep 4 step with lift assist
Deck height: 38”, installed TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Uprising Steps with booster step (model A9005)

Pros:
* installation was straight forward
* Rock solid when using 4 steps. Ok, but less solid when 5th (booster) step is deployed. Steps are a bit steep with our 38” deck when not using the booster step so we wind up deploying it more often than not when set up at a campsite.
* You can fold these steps down anywhere there is room to fully open the trailer door. This is why we bought them … got a new “neighbor” where we store it and were no longer able to get into the trailer to load, unload, work on it, etc. The 4 step “drawbridge” extended too far out when swinging down.
Cons:
* heavyish … more effort to deploy than our lift-assisted SolidStep. Probably not much different than a SolidStep that doesn’t have lift assist, but I can’t say for sure.
* Not as solid as the SolidStep, particularly with the 5th step deployed. I don’t consider these an upgrade in our case, but they did solve our problem. I do not regret the purchase. I do feel that these would be an upgrade from traditional fold out RV stairs.

The bracket will sit in about 5" and from the ground to the steps will be 11-3/16" (see attached) so you'll need to confirm fitment on your end. My only worry is that the mounting bracket might make contact with your step as opposed to the TorkLift Steps directly. Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you have any...
