Specs:
Made of durable, rustproof aluminum, the GlowSteps are built to last. The heavy-duty stainless steel hinges provide strength and stability, and they can be easily taken apart in case you need to remove steps or add a step onto the existing stairs. The one-of-a-kind landing gear legs take the wobble out of the stirs, adjusting to the perfect height to make the steps even. SureGrip tread on each step surface helps to ensure proper footing as you climb into or out of your camper or RV. And best of all, the GlowSteps come with premium glow-in-the-dark tape for excellent visibility at night. Each strip of tape requires only 5 minutes of light exposure for it to illuminate up to 10 hours.
Will Torklift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps Work for You?
Scissor steps are typically installed on truck campers. The GlowStep scissor steps from Torklift are simple to install. After the initial installation, they're also 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 Torklift GlowStep 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 and measure the width and height. You will need a mounting space of at least 20" wide x 1" tall.
Once you have an approximation of where the mounting bracket will go, 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 tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays entry height measurements in the first column. The step part numbers with the 21-1/2" mounting bracket width are in the second column.
This page's step assembly is in bold text.

| 16" - 23" | TLA7802 |

| 46-1/2" - 58" | TLA7806-8000, TLA7506-8000 |
How Do You Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
-Make sure the assembly is centered beneath the doorway
-Secure in place with included lag screws
Add any of these accessories to your GlowSteps for stability, eliminating gaps, and keeping your steps and RV interior clean. The GlowGuide handrail (TLA7621 - sold separately) attaches to the outside of your RV and a bracket on the bottom of the steps. This helps to steady the assembly and adds 25 lbs to the weight capacity of the stairs. The SafeStep vinyl barrier (TLA7602 - sold separately) easily fastens with Velcro strips in between any 2 steps. This prevents you or your pets from accidentally slipping between steps. The DirtDestroyer boot brush (TLA7603 - sold separately) affixes to the bottom of the steps so you can scrape your shoes before climbing into your RV.

I bought these steps for my slide in truck camper and they are the bomb. They are easy to install, super stable and very adjustable for uneven or sloped ground. Also, I didn't think it was a big deal to have the glow strips but they sure are a big help at night. I thought these steps were so great that I bought the scissor steps designed for my toy hauler camper as well and no more bouncy bouncy entering and exiting with the cheap factory steps.

Works well with the fox landing. The Original fox landing flexes so much it requires both hands on the grab bar and a helper pushing you up. No hands required here!
Review from a similar GlowStep in RV and Camper Steps
I give this product 4 stars. Adding a side man door to my truck to rv conversion required a set of special folding steps. After a year I am still impressed. These stairs are strong and durable. I weigh 250 lbs. All through the construction phase of my project, I have gone up and down, in and out hundreds of times carrying various construction related loads. With all of the use to date, my TorkLift Scissor Steps are tight and right with many more years of service to enjoy in the future. Dave B. Los Gatos, CA
Review from a similar GlowStep in RV and Camper Steps
These are very high quality steps! I mounted them to a large aluminum storage box that I have on a receiver style hitch plate The box and step combo make it really nice for getting up and into my camper. The nice thing about these steps is that you can purchase addition mounts and place them at other locations and use the same steps. They also fold and stow very neatly. I purchased the pin lock assy.... but if you have the room they are easy to remove and store elsewhere.

The perfect item to make easier access in and out of our Arctic Fox 1150. It work well with the Torklift glow steps. I love when folded down you can still access the storage tray. One very minor disappointment the instructions shows lock washer which my hardware pack did not have in it.

GREAT product. Very solid, no oxydation, wear or tear. They are used daily for one year now near the sea. And the reflecting stickers at night glow brightly making use of these steps extra safe. Very satisfied with this product. Not cheap but worth every penny due to excellent quality.

We are so glad we invested in these. I have bad knees and use a cane, so having these wide and sturdy steps makes it easy for me to enter and exit using my cane! Our setup is a little unusual, a built up canopy on a dually flatbed. The steps are so quick and easy to put up and down. We bought the six step model but found we only needed five. With some online instructions wow were able to tackle that too. We also bought the small keyed lock that is available.

Easy to install. Only thing that would be nice is to have the ability to lock the steps to the bracket that is attached to the camper. Otherwise they are strong and make access a breeze.
Review from a similar GlowStep in RV and Camper Steps
As advertised ! Very good quality and, at least for me, easy install. Our camper bought used 10 years ago came with stairs that were never right. 5 steps. These 6 step stairs were what we needed. Thanks for the prompt delivery also.

We have an 811 Artic Fox camper and the last step from the bumper to the camper is 12 inches and was getting hard to navigate. The 6" Torklift Glow Step is wonderful. Makes getting in and out of the camper much easier. Now I'm waiting for the Fox Landing to be available and that will make the camper complete.

worked very well installed on a bigfoot camper with a basement with a small mod to the top mounting bracket
Review from a similar GlowStep in RV and Camper Steps
I've had these on my truck camper for a year now. I put them on to replace a hitch mounted step. They were a little pricey, but worth it. Very well made and much easier for us to get into and out of the camper. I also added the adjustable legs, which likewise are a little pricey for what they are, but they make life so much easier when boondocking.

Always fast on delivery ,except for something happened and my order ended up in Hawaii a few years ago. Ive never been jealous of a package ,but I really wanted to go pick it up myself. But you guys even hotrodded that back to my door in record time. So you guys always do good. The steps work great ,heavy duty and sturdy. They have glow in the dark large steps that work well after dark. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING CARE OF US CUSTOMERS!!!
Review from a similar GlowStep in RV and Camper Steps
I just finished building a new house. I wanted access to the attic but did not want one of those narrow ceiling hatches with pull-down steps. I had a wide door installed 52 inches above the floor (had no choice here as the framing required this) in my game room for access to my entire attic. These steps worked perfectly. I did have to loosen the joint bolts (as described in the directions) to allow for easier pull down and storage. These steps are quite sturdy and well built. They easily support this 220 lbs. guy carrying attic storage items.

These Torklift GlowStep Scissor Steps (6 step) with Landing Gear are excellent! I built a fixed platform top step to mount these so that we can use them to board our very tall houseboat when it's on the trailer in our yard. The steps attach approximately 50" off the ground, with the highest step about 48" off the ground, plus the top step of the platform I built, bringing us to the requisite 54" of height to climb aboard easily. Much quicker, easier, and safer for our kids to go up and down than a ladder, especially when carrying objects like blankets, toys, or heavy propane cylinders. Best of all, I can fold them up out of the way to mow the lawn. They're less wobbly than I thought they might be. At the top three steps, you can feel ever so slight flex, but nothing disconcerting that throws you off balance. And I trust the 325lbs. rated capacity. I weigh 190 and I jumped on them (gently), with very little flex and no sense they were in danger of buckling. They were a little spendy with the landing gear, but worth it in my opinion for the safety and convenience they add for our needs. I would estimate the 6-step version with landing gear weighs ~40 lbs., but it feels lighter than that to carry (no problem to move them around). I was surprised that I had to install the Landing Gear legs myself when ordered this way, but it only took removal of four screws/nuts and about 15 minutes to replace the stock aluminum leg with the Landing Gear. The Landing Gear is super nice. The legs are lighter than expected, and very easy to adjust, with swivel feet and multiple height settings to accommodate uneven terrain easily. Again, they're a little spendy but nicer than anything I could've built myself, and probably lighter and stronger too. What good are stairs if you can't level them properly for good stability, so I think they're a must-have. All in all, very nice stairs and the best solution you're going to find of this collapsible/portable/lightweight type. Highly recommended!

Review from a similar GlowStep in RV and Camper Steps
It took a 6 step to reach the height of our truck camper but these steps fit perfectly. Best made we've seen. Strong, wide, deep ------ now we just want to go camping! Etrailer rocks!! Great customer service, fast delivery and great prices. This is our second purchase from you but won't be our last.
