Today, we'll be taking a look at the Solid Step Manual Fold Down steps. These are going to be a quad style step and these are a really great improvement for your RV's typical step that doesn't touch the ground. This is going to be, as the name suggests, a very solid step to get up into your RV and back down.Now I have this just kind of resting on that table but you can take a step here and it's really solid. I'm having to really move it around and it doesn't really want to move at all but it feels very secure even just resting right here. It's a solid nice stable step.The thing that's nice about this is that you don't have to worry about mounting it underneath your RV and causing any clearance issues there. It's just going to mount into the entryway of your RV and then fold down whenever you need.
Whenever you're not using it, it folds back up into that doorway and stays in your door while you're traveling.On the back, down here, this bracket, that's going to be a travel bracket to sort of wedge inside your door frame and hold it steady while you're going down the road so it's not going to move around or rattle on you and that's a place where they've actually made a big improvement with the solid step. We can move this up and I'll turn that around so you can take a look at it.So this used to just have a set width on it that it would work with but now they've actually added some adjustability to this so we can use it for multiple door widths and really get it adjusted to our proper width. We'll have a bolt here to adjust the tab in and out and then two bolts on either side to adjust the brackets. So you can adjust the sides independently if you wanted it a little bit offset in your doorway, you can totally do that and the minimum width that this will work with is about 27 and an eighth inch wide doorway or door frame. That measurement is the very narrowest that this step will measure.
So going from the outside width, there's a couple little tabs here on the sides that can cause some interference. The bracket can actually go a little bit narrower than that but that's going to be the smallest that this will actually flip up into is that 27 and an eight inches wide. That makes it real easy, though, whenever we're traveling, push that handle in and then it locks it into place.Our solid step is made of an aluminum construction so they're going to stay looking nice for a long time. We don't have to worry about it rusting out and it's also pretty lightweight while still having that good durability that we've come to know and trust. Each step has some non-skid traction tape on there.
We'll have two strips for most of our steps. Our step has three and then it does have some grooves in there also to provide a nice solid mounting or nice solid purchase there.The entry height that this will work with, the minimum is 37 inches tall and the maximum that it can work with is 45 inches tall. That's measuring from the ground to the top of that entry way or where you actually would make that first step. So it's a minimum of 37 to a max of 45. Whenever you have it at that max 45, you're first step from the ground to the top of that step will be about 13 and a half inches off the ground so just keep that in mind.The rise for the rest of our step is eight inches.
From the top of the step to the top of the next one will be eight inches but then this last step up into our RV is a little bit taller just because of bracket and that'll actually be nine inches. So a little bit different as you're getting up into the RV itself.On either side of our lower step, we'll have some feet to make some adjustments for uneven terrain. Those can be adjusted independently. There's just a little peg with a D-tent on it, can pull out. That'll be that pin there. Have our little ball D-tent to keep it in place and then once you pull that out, you can make those adjustments for the feet to get everything nice and level and then pop that back into place once you have everything lined up. Each of those increments are an inch apart and we'll have 13 increments so that gives us 13 inches of travel to get that adjusted. There we go.Also on the foot, it has a little bracket that can move as well so it can kind of adapt to different levels of terrain in addition to making those adjustments. The nice thing about that is that again, it is an independent side to side so if you need a little bit more height on one than the other, you can make those adjustments there.When this is folded up in our doorway, it's going to stand from the entry to the top of the step, 57 inches tall so that's how tall you need that entryway to be to get that loaded in there. It comes with a bracket to go on the underside of where we mount this up because you . to get this installed, if you we're to flip this up, there's a little bracket that has . that's connected to our top entry and that's folded under like this. That you would need to screw into your entryway and you need to drill all the way down, put your hardware through, and then place that bracket on the underside and put on the rest of the hardware with that washer and nut combination. It does come with that hardware and the bracket to do that.The weight capacity for these steps is 400 pounds so it should work out for most our passengers and pets. A lot of people . We have a lot of good reviews on these steps. They're really comfortable, very solid. They're a great improvement over this old steps that kind of feel like you're going to springboard off or just don't really feel too secure. So definitely a big improvement for your RV.And that's going to do it for our look at the Solid Step Manual Fold Down steps.

We really like the steps. The larger top step is great. The steps are a lot more stable the ones that came with the camper. This is a great product. 604262
Steve N - 02/12/2020Very sturdy steps....best upgrade we have made to our camper yet. Easy install and quick delivery! Would recommend these steps! 543434
I just install the Lippert four step fold in ladder on to my 2013 Keystone Raptor. The reason for installing the new steps was, the old crappy pullout stairs broke on my wife without any warning. This caused the stairs to collapse, and she fell to the ground. No one would ever expect to have stairs break on them. The new four step Lippert solid step are extremely solid, and built very well. The videos on you tube are very true about these steps. They took about an hour to put in including removal of the old crappy steps. They are very easy to line up and adjust, and are very secure when the entry door is closed. The top step and a half that Lippert uses is very nice, which make it easier exiting the RV. Great product the Solid Step From Lippert and would highly recommend. Be careful to check your old folding steps mine broke near the inside frame where the arm assembly connects. 694073
This is a great improvement. We have these on the front door, and made the upgrade to the garage door on our toy hauler. The value is good, but most importantly, the customer service from etrailer is the BEST!!!!! 524004
Easy to install if you use your common sense as the installation instructions are vague. Love the service and assistance from trailer. This is a must have product when you raise your 5th wheel up 4 inches. Makes getting in and out of the camper a lot easier due to the fact that the wife and I are getting old. 721792
First let me say that dealing with the folks at etrailer.com is excellent! They are very helpful, friendly, and more than willing to help. If not for the following issues I would have rated five stars. Now for the steps, box was destroyed, holes all over it, large cardboard patches had been stapled over the largest holes and I had no problem getting into the box. After cutting a few pieces of packing tape the box practically fell apart. Both pins to secure the legs were missing but one phone call to etrailer and replacement pins were mailed out. Both sides of the bottom step frame were bent but I can bend them back in place. Fortunately the damage is at the bottom and not very noticeable. Installation was easy and took about an hour and only because I had to file down part of the campers threshold. Steps are solid and the wife says its the best upgrade we have done to the camper. 644324
I just received my Solidsteps and stainless hand rail both products where easy to install and for me that was good look forward to many years of use Thanks again to Noah at etrailer great job 722620
Great customer service!!! 718600
Great product Install in just under half an hour did not give it 5 stars because he Shipping crate was damaged and one large had to be bent back And this one had no hardware my previous one had hardware I'm glad I saved them. The stairs are solid and my. Wife and dogs love them 634229
Love these steps. A great improvement to our fifth wheel camper. They work very well and simple to install. I am now thinking about a nice tool box to occupy the space below in place of the original steps and to have additional storage. The folks at etrailer.com very good to work with, excellent service, and reasonably priced. 628941
Love the step. Had to take the screen door off, 565731
easy install even though instructions were missing. 529484
Excellent product. Easy install. 511417
I finally installed the steps after some confusion. My package had Gen2 instructions which said to remove the threshold. After emailing customer service, I was told that wasn't necessary since my steps were SolidStep Manual Fold-down. My screen door still hits on the bracket so I'll have to do some engineering to correct that. All in all, they are a good addition to my RV. 506216
Solid steps that were very easy to install. Highly recommend these stairs for the narrow doorways on Keystone 1/2 Ton Cougar 504303
Love it. My wife has had knee replacements and this unit gives her confidence when climbing the stairs again. Easy install. 470903
Was packed good, was missing a couple of parts, but a made it work, a few modifications to the latch system to make it work in my door way. 2016 Durango 2500 by Kz. 437307

Best product I have ever gotten for ease of getting in and out of the camper. Makes it easy for the wife to get in and out. 629144
Review from a similar SolidStep in RV and Camper Steps
Fit and installed perfectly in my Cameo 5th wheel with suicide step. Great tech support to help confirm the proper part to order and prompt delivery. Easy installation. 453753
Review from a similar SolidStep in RV and Camper Steps
Great product. Big improvement over standard steps on our Jayco 5th wheel. Hunting the back hole for the adjustment legs each time is only negative. Improve that and perfect. 615302
Review from a similar SolidStep in RV and Camper Steps
Love my RV step! We had to extensively modify the step to meet the width restrictions and slideout configuration incurred with my Coachman Concord RV, but the time and money spent have all proven worthwhile. The original electric step had resulted in different step heights, including one 11" stretch. Now entry is easy and much safer. Thanks! 620035
Review from a similar SolidStep in RV and Camper Steps
I am not sure how to rate this, the stairs themselves look to be of good quality. However, this appears to be a former demonstration unit. There are dirty footprints on the treads, some of the non-skid strips are coming off and the unit is heavily scratched in several places. I also reseaved half of the correct mounting screws and bolts. The remainder was made up of sheet metal screws. I will make this work, my wife has difficulty with our current stairs so I wish to install this regradless of the stated issues, i just wished it was all there and in better shape 583162
Review from a similar SolidStep in RV and Camper Steps
Installations instructions provided with the product are really bad! But the ones on the online install video are pretty good!! The product is good, but the pins to adjust the legs are hard to pull out, they should have a key ring or something to help pull out. They also should be attach with a line yard or something. It’s a bit expensive but way better then regular RV stairs on the market. 663530
Review from a similar SolidStep in RV and Camper Steps
This is by far the BEST upgrade to our RV I have done. The steps are more sturdy, they are wider and the angle is not as steep as the original flimsy folding steps that came on the RV. It makes entering and exiting much easier for both my wife with mobility issues and me with 50+ year old knees. Installation was very easy. I did it myself in less than a half hour. In fact, it took longer to remove the old steps (which did not have to be done) than it did to install these new Solid Step. One you install the new Lippert Solid Step, I recommend removing the old folding steps and installing a box there for extra storage. 525526
