Uneven terrain won’t throw these steps off balance. The built-in landing gear fine-tunes height and levels the stairs, keeping all four feet firmly planted. Large rectangular footplates spread the load and prevent sinking into soft ground. Each step supports up to 325 lbs, so there’s no flex or bounce when you climb in or out.
The pull-out booster step gives you extra reach when the ground sits lower than expected. With a simple lever release, the 4-step setup becomes a 5-step system, giving you a 7-1/2" drop/rise that feels natural. You can leave the booster retracted when parked on level terrain or extend it for taller setups, so entry always feels easy and consistent.
Each aluminum step has a built-in SureGrip tread for secure footing in wet or dusty conditions. Glow tape along the edges charges in just 5 minutes of light and glows in the dark for up to 10 hours, making it easy to see where you’re stepping after sundown without extra lighting.
The aircraft-grade aluminum frame and stainless steel hinges make these steps durable and rustproof. Bushing bearings create smooth action when folding or unfolding, and the scissor design collapses neatly for travel. The locking tab slides into the doorframe to keep the steps stored securely.
When folded, the GlowStep Revolution Uprising tucks right inside the doorway, perfect for tight parking spots or storage lots. The design avoids the need for a step well underneath, so you get full use of your interior space while still being ready to deploy a stable, ground-contact step whenever you need it.

Shane: Hey everyone, Shane here with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at the Torklift GlowStep Revolution Uprising. What would be the reason we'd want to add different steps to our camper Well, if we come down here and we take a look at the steps that normally come on your campers, steel construction and they tend to rush fairly quick so they become hard to put in and out. Plus they're floating steps, so there's nothing touching the ground. So when we walk on these, there's not a whole lot of stability there and you can see, they kind of move around. Plus if you're inside the camper sleeping and you come out at night or somebody's sleeping, you go to walk in, you're shaking the camper around.With the Torklift steps, you can see they're going to fold...
These are going to fold inside the door so once we leave, close our door, our steps stay inside, we don't have to worry about them staying outside in the weather. But they're easy to fold out, we simply fold them down. We'll grab this lower bar, I'm going to pull them out like this, we can adjust our feet and then we're ready to go. And you can see these are a lot more stable than our free-hanging steps. These are going to have a 325 pound weight capacity, they're going to be aluminum construction so we don't have to worry about the rust and corrosion.
All of our hinges, hardware, our hardware is going to be a stainless steel construction. Again, we don't have to worry about rust and corrosion or anything like that.I mentioned the GlowSteps, they're going to have a sticker that runs down each step down. Now, five minutes of direct light will give you 10 hours of glow. So you can see with all of our lights off, each one of our steps has a glow sticker on it that help when walking in at night. These are going to be a scissor style, so you'll notice we have three hinge points and what that allows us to do, is it allows us to fold up our steps into a nice compact space.
So it's not a whole lot of room that it would be taking up, it makes it easy to pull out and to push back in. Unlike some of the other steps where, on the factory steps that come out, once you get your second step in there it might be hard to lift up those two steps to slide them in place. Where with these being aluminum, they're nice and lightweight, we don't have to worry about all that extra weight.Let's say we parked somewhere and we have a little unlevel terrain. Each leg is going to have 12 holes that allows us to adjust this leg in one inch increments. The footpad on the bottom, now you can see a nice wide base so it gives us plenty of stability once they're on the ground.
But it has four rubber pads, so it gives us a nice grip when it's down. And this is actually the four step design. So you're probably asking yourself, "Well, if it's a four step design, what's the extra step" They actually call this a booster step. So what you would do is there's a lever down here that locks it and you slide it over. And this allows you to extend the steps out farther, or even to give you a little bit more height for ground that may be a little bit lower, different terrain levels.And this bottom step is a little bit closer to the ground for somebody that may have a problem actually stepping up higher. Now, if I didn't mentioned this before, these steps, these are the 28 inch wide ones and that's this inside bracket. Our step is actually going to be eight inches by 22 and a half inches, each one is going to have raised corrugation almost on it, to provide tread if your steps are wet. We'll come up here to this bracket and you'll notice it wraps all the way down, this is to provide support. So if you're walking up here and you happen to maybe step a little bit forward, you don't have to worry about your foot sliding in there. So it gives you plenty of protection there.We're going to have a nice grip here so when we're stepping up here with this being a metal surface, if it gets wet, obviously it's going to be slick. So having the grip tape there, we can step on it and we're not going to have to worry about sliding. Now being 28 inches, that's this bracket right here, inside edge to inside edge of this bracket is going to be 28 inches. And how you measure that is this flange on your doorframe, inside edge to inside edge. So that's what you need to measure to get the correct size steps, correct width steps. And then you want to take a measurement from the ground to the top of your sill plate right here. So you can see what we're measuring, we're measuring inside of that lip and we're at 28 inches. So, that's the measurement you need to give you the correct steps.Now to measure your height, you're going to measure from the ground to the top edge of your threshold right there. And these steps are going to fit 34 and seven eighths up to 42 and three eighths distance there. As I mentioned, these are very easy to fold back up into place, we're simply going to lift them up. If you have your booster step out, there's a lever down here on the bottom, you're going to push it over, fold it up into place, and you're going to rotate them right inside the door just like that. Now let's say you wanted to take these out for some reason. These are actually not bolted in place so they're very simple to get out. You're going to fold them up like this, we're going to rotate them back just a little, we're going to lift, and they come out fairly easy.Maybe you're asking yourself, "Well, if they're not actually attached to anything, how they keep from bouncing around inside the camper when you're going down the road" Well, right on the inside here on this bracket, there are rubber boots. What they do is they sit against the plate right here. When you're installing it, close your screen door and you push the steps up against your screen door. You can see these rubber pads here, push it up against the screen door, you adjust those boots up against this plate. When you close your screen door, it keeps this solid against it so we don't have any movement out of the steps. Let's say we have our camper parked where we park it for the winter, for the off season. We park it in a lot and we have to get up close to another camper, or they parked them close or tight.Let's say we have to get something. Maybe we come back in the middle of the winter and we need to get something out of the camper, for the solid step or the MORryde step, they actually come up in here so when you fold them out, they fold out like this. So if you're parked close to someone, you're not getting your steps out. So that means if you don't have a second door, you're not going to be able to get in your camper. With these, we can basically pull them straight out and pull them straight down to the ground to get in our camper if we need to get anything. Now, keep in mind with them set up like this, this is just temporary. You don't want to actually use them like this consistently but again, this allows you to get into a tight space if you need to get inside your camper or RV to get something that you may have forgot.Another thing I like about these steps is they, you can also get hand railings and you can find those here at etrailer. The railing would go from the bottom up to the top, it mounts to the side of your camper to give you a little extra stability when walking in and out of the camper. The other thing they offer is if you have pets, a lot of times if you have steps that are open, a dog will get nervous about going up the steps because they can see through it and they're worried about falling through. Well, Torklift makes a cover that has hook and loop fastener, and it basically mounts to the backside lip of your step and provides them with a cover so they can't see through. They feel a lot safer when they're going in and out.Another thing that they make, now this is a really neat thing. This is the shoe scrubber and where this mounts, it mounts right to the side of the step and you basically just set it down on there. Put it right on the bracket and it allows you to clean off your shoes, boots, whatever it may be, before you walk up your steps into your camper so you're leaving all the dirt and debris out here and not dragging it inside.Now we didn't remove this customer's steps, or the factory steps that came on the camper because they're actually welded in. If you have welded in steps and you want to remove them, or if you have bolt in steps and you want to remove those, you can find storage boxes that will fill this space, and you can find those here at etrailer, to give you a little extra storage for any of those other items that you may want to bring with you. As far as the installation process, the installation process is pretty simple and straightforward. You're going to have a bracket here that basically spans from one side to the other side of the doorframe. It's going to fit on the inside and you can see this lip, it actually is going to get bolted through that. So other than that, that is really the only thing you have to install other than setting the steps into place. That's going to do for the look at the Torklift GlowStep Revolution Uprising.

Ratings & Reviews
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.
We LOVE our TorkLift Revolution steps. Our New Horizons fifth wheel sits pretty high off the ground, and having the Booster Step on the 5-step model has been great. We use that extra step more often than not. The steps are easy to pull out and put back in. And the glow squares are great when we're camping in a "Dark Sky" location. They're unobtrusive, but help us find our way in the dark. We have two of these, one for each entry door on our toyhauler. We've also used them like a ladder when stopping in tight places or on the side of the road where it slopes away too fast to put the stairs out. Very versatile and well-made, we highly recommend. In the photos, the back door has the 24" steps with the extra step not in use, and the front door (side with awnings) has the 28" steps with the extra step extended.
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.
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!!
A bit expensive, but I'm so glad GlowSteps are available and made in USA. I can actually use these steps in storage unlike the MORryde steps that don't have enough clearance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Simple to install and love the lower rise height. Did have to do a little dremel work on a slooooopy weld that kept the stairs from deploying. Very pleased, now to see how well they "ride" inside. Great replacement for my Lippert Solid 2 step.
These are OK. They accomplished what I needed them for to be able to open put them out in my indoor storage unit. I am really having trouble getting them to align properly though. Now matter what I do, the legs rub against the left side of the door frame. I have everything centered and I have tried the alignment steps of the install multiple times, but still rub. They are pretty heavy and cumbersome to put out and in compared to the drawbridge steps. My wife likely will not do it anymore. LOL. But like I said, at least I can get into my trailer while in storage now. They are adequate quality, but kind of a high price tag for what you get IMO.
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.
These stairs are a great upgrade over the factory floating style stair. The installation was very easy and took less than hour including time to get tools out and put them away. The steps easily fold in and out and have smooth operation.
My trailer was towards the upper end of the 4 step height range, time will tell if they are tall enough or if I should of gone with the 5 step version.
As a note the box used to ship the stairs was not up to the task and arrived heavily damaged. The box had no reinforced corners and the stairs were just wrapped with some paper. Luckily they arrived undamaged.
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.
Very good product and company to do business with.
Bought 2 items from you. Both worked well. I would recommend this company to other people
The steps were easy to install, after I figured out the the door bracket needed to be pulled apart a-little so the door bracket fit, ( my mistake ), I would have given it a five star but some of the lock washers were missing, a short trip to Home Depot solved the issue, unfortunately I didn't have the washers on hand
These steps have worked out well. We stayed in campsites in all conditions and were always able to get the steps level and stable due to the ease of adjustment. Would definitely buy again Etrailer is always a great place to shop.
The OEM steps on our trailer developed a crack in the mounting bracket and had to be replaced. These steps are an outstanding because of the accordion design. This allows us to park our trailer in storage and still open the steps to get inside with only a small amount of clearance, between the trailer and the wall. At the bottom the step legs have a lot of adjustability for uneven ground or slope. If I had one critique it would be that sometimes the push buttons on those step legs are a little hard to push, while you are holding the steps up to get them adjusted to match the ground.
I used these steps to replace the solid steps that came with our fifth wheel. The version of solid steps we had did not have a hydraulic lift kit available at the time and it was almost impossible for my wife to lower them. These were easy to install and now everyone can lower or raise them, since they are a lot more manageable. They can be used in tight areas like our storage lot or rest areas. Also I leave them out while hitching up, since they have enough play to raise and lower without binding (Not sure if that is a recommend use). I have had them for a year now with no issues or regrets.
