Will Brophy Camper Scissor Steps Work for You?
Scissor steps are typically installed on truck campers, but can be attached to your truck's tailgate using a special mounting bracket (TSSB - sold separately). After the initial installation, they're 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 Brophy 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 that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and height. You will need a mounting space at least 18-1/4" wide and 1" tall.
If it turns out you have more space beneath your doorway, there are larger step assemblies available with 24" wide brackets. A full list of the available steps is below.
Once you have an approximation of where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, 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 also tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays entry height measurement ranges in the first column. If you determined you need an 18-1/4" mounting bracket, the step part numbers with that width are in the second column. If you determined you need a 24" mounting bracket width, the step part numbers with that width are in the third column. Choose the bracket size that is closest to your measurements without going over.
This page's step assembly is in bold text.
| Entry Height | 18-1/4" Mounting Bracket Width | 24" Mounting Bracket Width |
|---|---|---|
| 18" - 23" | AS02, SS02 | Not available |
| 24" - 30" | AS03, SS03 | AS23 |
| 31" - 40" | AS04, SS04 | AS24 |
| 40" - 48" | AS05 | AS25 |
How Do You Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
- Find the mounting spot for the bracket on your vehicle
- Unfold the steps and attach to the mounting bracket "V" clamps
- Place step assembly against camper or bumper
-Make sure assembly is centered beneath the doorway
- Mark the mounting holes on the camper and drill
- Remove steps from bracket and set aside
- Attach the mounting bracket to the camper
-Secure in place with included lag screws
- Hook stairs into mounting bracket "V" clamps and extend

Great, sturdy and light step. Great for my 76 F250 show truck. 45"bracket height.
by: Jerry07/30/2022
My truck camper sits more than 40 inches from ground to doorway, so these steps were perfect. I almost drlled into some wiring during installation, so be sure to check that and clearance from the door. I will remove them while driving since they are easily attached and removed.

Excellent product & etrailer is great!
by: Omar 02/21/2023
This is an excelent heavy duty latter. My only criticizem is the landing legs. For me it would have had them be adjustable. there are times where this little adjustment can make the diffrence. Otherwise a qualitly product at a fair price.

These steps were the perfect solution to my custom toy hauler that I am building from an old moving truck. Anyone with a simple drill can install in under a minute.

Very well made product. Easy to install. A very nice addition to our Eagle Cap truck camper that sits very high on our 1- ton pickup truck.

- What is the Distance Between the Steps on the Brophy Scissors Steps at 48 InchesThe distance between the steps of the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps, # AS05, when fully extended measures 7 inches.
view full answer... - Collapsed Dimensions of Brophy Aluminum Scissor Steps # AS05 I went out into our warehouse and grabbed a Aluminum Scissor Steps # AS05 to measure and found that they are 17-3/4 inches tall by 18-1/4 inches wide and 10 inches deep. I attached a picture that has all of the dimensions shown.

- What Is Overall Depth Of Brophy Camper Scissor Steps AS05 When Fully ExtendedI went to the warehouse and took a measurement of the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps, part # AS05 for you. The distance form the top mounting bracket to the front of the lowest step is 39-1/4 inches. The distance form the frame below the lowest step is 40-1/8 inches. I have attached a photo of the steps with the dimensions noted.

- Is Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 Held Together with Bolts or RivetsThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 that you referenced is held together with rivets and not bolts.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of AS05 StairsI am sorry but at this time we do not carry a set of folding stairs that would mount to a trailer 50 inches high. The weight capacity of the stair you have selected is 250 lbs. We ship to Ontario Canada with no problems.
view full answer... - What Brophy Scissor Trailer Steps do You Recommend for My 40-1/2 Inch High Entryway?For the best option for Brophy scissor steps, I recommend the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 5 Steps - Aluminum # AS25. These steps are made for entry heights that range from 40 - 48 inches tall and will work great with your current 40-1/2 inch tall height. However, another thing that you need to know is your entry way width. With the # AS25, this is made for entryways that will be able to accommodate a bracket width of 24" inches. We do offer steps with 18-1/4 inch wide brackets. That...
view full answer... - Fitment of Brophy Camper Scissor Steps for Truck CampersThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps for truck campers, # AS04, are intended for an entry height of 31" to 40". If your camper door sets within that 31-40' range then yes this will fit your rig. Please see attached image for measuring points and chart.

- Are the Brophy Scissor Steps # AS05 the Best Option for a Height of 39-1/2 inches BracketIf you are asking about the height adjustment range compared to your measurement of 39-1/2 inches then yes, the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 would definitely be the better option. It is best to have stairs that can extend a little bit past what the height that you measured to account for uneven terrain. If you would like the best option then what I recommend is the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps # TLA7845. The landing gear feet on this step choice really help to keep...

- Using Brophy AS05 Aluminum Scissor Steps to Access 44 inch High WalkwayThe Brophy # AS05 Aluminum Scissor Steps you mentioned can be used for heights between 40-48 inches. Since your 44 inch height is right in the middle of that range, the steps would work great for you. If the steps were at a 90 degree angle to the area you are wanting the steps to access, you'll need some type of platform at the top of the steps. The steps have a 250 lb capacity. For safety, I'd also recommend a hand rail like # AHR5.
view full answer... - Gap Between First/Last Step and Mounting Plate on TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor StepsIn regards to the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps part # TLA7833, there is indeed a 6-1/2" gap between the first/last step and the mounting plate. This is needed in order for the steps to fully retract. It is not the intention of TorkLift to trip little kids but the design is necessary for the steps to retract properly. If this were not there then the steps would stick out much further while retracted and I'm sure someone would not like either. If you take a look at a similar...

- Are the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 Correct for a Camper Attachment 37 inches from the GroundThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 that you referenced have a height of 40" - 48" when they are expanded which would be a little too much for your application. Instead, I recommend going with the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS24 which have a height of 31" - 39" when expanded, plus it features the non-slip tread. We have a bracket for a tailgate # TSSB or an RV # AS2002 if you need one as well as a handrail # AHR4 to assist going up and down the stairs.
view full answer... - Aluminum Scissor Steps AS23 DimensionsThe height measurement on the item you selected is 24 to 30 inches to the mounting bracket. As long as the distance from the area the stairs are to be mounted straight down to the ground is within this 6 inch range the stairs will work nicely. We have other sizes of steps (see links below) if this size is not correct for you. I have posted links to hand rails for the adjustable steps also. If I can be of further assistance let me know.
view full answer... - Stair Recommendation for a In-Bed Camper with Entry Door 48 Inches Up from the GroundThe 2-step # RHS2 is the only multi-step hitch mounted steps that I have seen. You might want to look at steps # TLA7806. You can attach these steps to the threshold and they will reach all the way to the ground when pulled out. They also feature glowing parts on each step so they are more visible at night. I have linked the installation instructions to the right for you. We also have # AS25 and # AS05 that can reach 48 inches.
view full answer... - Scissor Steps that Extend 48 Inches for Vehicle 50 Inches from the GroundAluminum Scissor Steps # AS25 measure up to 48 inches tall and would be the best option for you. They have a 250 pound capacity. The other option is # AS05 which also can extend as much as 48 inches. To add a hand rail, if needed, use # AHR5.
view full answer... - Recommended Scissor Steps For a Flat Bed Camper Torklift steps are going to be just a bit wider than your desired 20" wide mounting dimension at 21-1/2", and the Brophy steps will be just a bit under at 18-1/4". Both the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps # TLA7845 and the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS05 will fit your 43" entry height and are removable. Of the two the TorkLift steps are the more stable option. They include landing feet for more ground stability and are adjustable to fit uneven terrain. These steps include...
