Is this right for you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Often have wet or muddy conditions and prefer a non-slip surface to give you sure footing
Feel more comfortable using steps that are similar size and height as what you typically find at home
Have a camper with an entry height (the distance from the ground to where the steps attach) between 31" and 39"
No, if you:
Have trust issues when it comes to ladders and steps and want an option that bolts on so you know it's not going anywhere
Go off-road and need some adjustability for uneven ground
8-1/2" Deep x 24" wide aluminum camper steps expand from 31" to 39" tall and fold up for storage. Steps self-adjust for stability on any terrain. Non-slip tread ensures solid footing.

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 24" wide and 1" tall.
If it turns out you have less space beneath your doorway, there are smaller step assemblies available with 18-1/4" 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.

The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps are a very well made product but poorly designed. It was a good thing that I am a metal fabricator. I had to totally alter where the steps met the camper, otherwise, there would have been a 6 inch gap at the top. After looking at other reviews, this seemed to be a common issue. Hence, the loss of one rating star. Regardless, the steps fold neatly and store nicely. I also designed, fabricated and powder coated a folding hand rail for added safety.1412018
Easy install of bracket for steps to attach to and with the 24” wide 4 step weighing 34 lbs they are easy to handle. Just don’t pinch yer fingers when folding.1348971
This works great on my Lance 1181 truck camper folds down to fit in storage compartment for travel and rest on the top of my bumper when sits are not flat. None slip steps are great after a rain.1075948
Well designed. Strudy. The perfect solution for my camper stairs.1191371

Lightweight and easy to carry and fold. The package received was very damaged and a portion of the bottom outer step was damaged (bent inward)and scratched. The welding of the hooks were raised too high not allowing for clearance of the camper door, so we had to add another layer of aluminum to position hook bar down about 8 ml. We were able to use a dead blow hammer to correct the dent as much as possible, but it is still visible.1341432

I hate to hear the steps arrived damaged. I will have our customer service team reach out to as quickly as possible.

2014 SILVERADO WITH A 2014 NORTHSTAR POP UP CAMPER . 3 STEP MODEL WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT THIS WILL WORK . THESE ARE VERY STURDY AND RAPID TO ATTACH AND DETATCH . VERY PLEASED
SOON TO UPLOAD PHOTOS OF THE 4 STEP AFFIXED . ENTIRE PACKAGE WAS A PERFECT MATCH . THE STEPS WORK WELL , HOWEVER ON MY NORTHSTAR CAMPER THE SPACE ON THE FIBERGLASS BETWEEN DOOR BOTTOM AND CAMPER BOTTOM ( 1" ) IS TOO NARROW FOR THE BRACKET ATTACHMENT . SO A SLIGHT MODIFICATION ACCOMPLISHED THE TASK . MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I HAD PURCHASED THE THREE STEP STAIR VS THIS FOUR STEP VERSION . ANGLE A BIT LAYBACK BUT MAYBE ONLY I WOULD NOTICE IT . YOU JUDGE . GREAT , STURDY SAFE AND FAST ASSEMBLY UNIT . THANKS 121171
This is a must, best thing I ever bought. It works great!! My truck camper came without steps and this is the answer.1112680

Very sturdy and stable steps that are easy to take on and off. Just what I was looking for to get into our pop up camper with a toddler and newborn. If you're in the market for removable steps, definitely consider these.1420200

Very nice and super sturdy. I bought for what may only be a one time use....but who knows. I want to take my mom on the road with me truck driving for a week. In the middle, I'll let her go gambling to stretch her legs. In all the years I've been over the road, she really hasn't even been able to see inside my cab because the steps are to high. Today I finally installed them (which was a breeze) and she easily climbed in and out of the truck without assistance. She was ecstatic....and even more so when I told her about the upcoming trip!906602
Product arrived quickly and installation was easy. Can't wait to get out and use them!1189434

Weve had our steps for a year now and we love them! Much better than the small two-step plastic ones we used prior. Even our cat loves them! I wish I could post a photo.

Great customer support. They shipped the item within two days, I had a nice graphic tracking of my shipment, and it was delivered in mint condition. I replaced my 18" steps with the 24" steps and what a difference. Can't wait to get on the road.259684
I purchased these steps as I needed a way to get into my camper. They were very easy to install, just what I was looking for. I would recommend this product to anybody. Very well made and does exactly what I want.1034652

Best post camper purchase investment we have made to date. Versatile and safe.1340715
After 50+ nights camping our Brophy steps are working out great! We like their ability to adjust to different terrain and levels at the campgrounds we visit. We have recommended them many times to other truck campers using step stools!

Great quality steps. Certainly makes getting in our truck camper so much easier & safer- Even more so on our lifted truck camper set-up. Easy to install & remove, fold up to store when on the road. Thank you etrailer for the quick free delivery. You guys are a great company to purchase through. Totally appreciate your product videos. Keep up the excellent work!1504316
Super easy to attach to camper and they work great. The non-slip tread is awesome, and my dogs will vouch for the stairs, as well.1339244

I purchased this item as an alternative to the factory steps. There are products out there that are similar that actually take the place of the factory step, which leave you having to store the factory step. If you were to upgrade to a newer or different rig, you would either swap steps, or let the new set go with the old rig and then have to dispose the old set. This system keeps the original steps in place and is portable. In fact, we recently purchased a new trailer and the steps came with us and work perfectly. I couldn't be more pleased.410761
Well built product, I’m sure the Brophy camper scissor steps will be satisfactory. Probably outlast my camper. Perfect experience researching, ordering, and receiving the product. I really appreciate the way etrailer customer service helps, responds, and keeps you informed.1271949

The stairs seem very well built and relatively easy to install. For our use on our camper, not only will it give my wife and I much easier and safer access, but also we'll be able to remove our often dusty, muddy shoes before entering the camper. Great product.
My wishes for improvement would be that the packaging and shipment be more considered. Mine arrived with the original cardboard package inside another newer box. The inner box however was badly banged up. This bent the hoop that is supposed to hook onto the mounting bracket. After a bit of fiddling I was able to straighten it. It seems to be working fine.
These are something I've needed for a long while. I use this truck for home repair and I go in and out of the back of the truck many times in a day. Even though there is a ramp it is very cumbersome.814702
1 year on still as pleased as I can be with these steps.

I’ve just received my new set of steps in great condition. I’m amazed at the quality of this product. They are of such great quality I’ve already recommended them to my friends. I’m even looking forward to ordering the handle rail that’s how nice they are.1288975
You are correct the Aluminum Scissor Steps, 24 inches Wide, 31-39 inches Tall, part # AS24, can be fully extended to 39 inches tall, or can be slightly compressed so that they measure 31 inches tall.

The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps part # AS24 will require 1-1/4" of clearance between the bottom of the door and bottom of the cab on your Palomino Truck Bed Camper in order for the mounting bracket to attach. If you removed a portion of the trim piece where the bracket would mount to allow it to sit flush and this provides the minimum of 1-1/4" then you could do this. However, if not you would need to attach some heavy duty l-brackets to the underside of the body and mount the steps to... view full answer...
Sounds like you'd want to go with a removable scissor setup like the Brophy Camper Steps part # AS24 which will need to be taken off it's mounting bracket between uses. This will give you total access to your trailer hitch when needed. view full answer...
You're correct that you need 5th wheel replacement steps to extend down from the mounting point the same distance as the original steps do. This will avoid loss of ground clearance which is an important safety consideration.
Trailer makers typically do not provide detailed specs on components such as steps that are used in their products but you can use the linked page to see our range of 4-step scissor steps. Brophy step # AS24 is 24-inches wide like yours, offers a 7-7/8-inch step height... view full answer...

The Brophy Aluminum RV Scissor Steps # AS24 that you referenced have a 300-lb capacity and extend to between 31- and 39-inches in height.

To use the Brophy Aluminum Scissor Steps, # AS24 on the camper you have in the bed of your 2015 Ford F150 you are going to need to remove the tailgate if you plan on connecting the steps to your camper because it would not be able to connect to your camper and also clear the tailgate. If you planned on installing the steps on the tailgate instead this would also work.

I called my contact at Brophy about the RV Scissor Steps, part # AS24.

The width of the overall step of the # AS24 is 24 inches. I attached a picture that shows the dimensions of the included bracket as well. It is 1 inch tall and is 24 inches in length. You would need compare these dimensions to the area you plan to use to attach the steps. view full answer...
For your door height of 32 inches the Brophy Scissor steps part # AS24 would work well since it has a height range of 31 inches to 39 inches. The included bracket would get attached to the trailer below the door and the steps would then attach to that. view full answer...

The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps part # AS24 are designed to be mounted directly to the camper, just below the door where there is sufficient support. The area you are referring just below the bed floor and above the bumper would have plenty of support for the steps but you would need to make sure they have room to extend down without hitting the rear bumper. If you are able to do so then I would say this is perfectly fine but unfortunately I don't have any photos of such installation. view full answer...
I went out to our warehouse to take a few measurements on the mounting bracket for the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS24. The base bracket profile measures 24 inches long, 1 inch tall, and 1 inch deep. The shorter tabs that will be closer against the trailer/RV extend the bracket by just 3/8 of an inch, giving it an overall height of 1-3/8 inches. The slightly longer angled tabs that will actually attach to the step assembly extend the bracket by 5/8 of an inch, giving it an overall height... view full answer...
