Specs:
TorkLift's GlowStep Revolution RV steps offer the ultimate in stability and adjustability. You can adjust the stairs' height to account for any type of terrain using the easy-to-use release lever. The built-in landing gear legs let you fine-tune the height. And they can be adjusted independently of one another to stabilize the steps on uneven terrain, eliminating any wobble.
Will Torklift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps Work for You?
Pull-out steps are typically installed on travel trailers. The GlowStep Revolution pull-out steps from Torklift are easy to install and fold up underneath the camper for simple storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The GlowStep Revolution pull-out scissor steps attach to the underside of the camper chassis, directly beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available underneath your camper that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and depth. You will need a mounting space that is at least 27-1/2" wide and 13-7/8" deep.
If it turns out you have less space beneath your doorway, there are smaller step assemblies available with 25-1/2" wide brackets. A full list of the available steps is below.
Outriggers - metal brackets that act as an extension (LC301704 - sold separately) - may be needed for installation depending on the model of your original stairs. These provide extra length if the old steps are longer or wider than the new.
Once you know where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, that spot will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To determine 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 measurement ranges in the first column. If you determined you need a 25-1/2" mounting bracket, the step part numbers with that width are in the second column. If you determined you need a 27-1/2" mounting bracket, 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 | 25-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width | 27-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width |
---|---|---|
18-1/2" - 28" | TLA8102 | TLA8002 |
25-1/2" - 36" | TLA8103 | TLA8003 |
32-1/2" - 44" | TLA8104 | TLA8004 |
39-1/2" - 52" | TLA8105 | TLA8005 |
46-1/2" - 60" | TLA8106 | TLA8006 |
How Do You Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
-Fully extend steps until feet touch the ground
-Set aside steps before drilling
-Make sure the bracket is backed up fully against the I-beam on the chassis
-Hardware not included
GlowStep Accessories
Add any of these accessories to your Revolution scissor steps 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.

These steps are the best addition ever to our 5th wheel (except for the Truma tankless water heater). A snap to use, and a solid grounding.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Installed in less than a half hour!!
One thing I would recommend, is to not take the unit apart as the instructions tell you to.
Simply use a floor jack with a 2x4 on top of it to lower down your old unit and raise the new unit will save much time--not taking your brand new unit apart!!
Also if you have pets installing carpet on the steps will save their feet from getting burnt in the summertime-that aluminum is going to get very very hot
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Would of gave 5 stars but the steps , arrived damaged, no fault of etrailer, probably Torklifts packing or the Shipper. Latches were bent so bad you couldn't even get the steps out and the frame was also bent and leaning to one side. A 2 pound sledge straightened things out but for almost $XXX you shouldn't have to fix it. Too big to mess with trying to send back but got it taken care of.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Rock Solid!!! Worth every penny.
Replaced my trailer's original springboard steps that were flexing more and more. At first, I was concerned about fit. Reached out with measurements and received an A8004 recommendation for my 2010 Montana Mountaineer. Once installed I discovered I had more ground clearance than I had with the OEM steps. Not sure if it can be seen in the front on picture, the trailer frame lower than the bottom step in its stowed position. The adjustable top step is an absolute great invention.
Had to disassemble some of the sidings to the left and right of the step mounting brackets to get at the OEM mounting bolts. Space between factory brackets expanded almost 0.5 inches once OEM steps were removed. Had to stop and get spacers. Mounted the A8004 steps with spacers on each side. My wife assisted with aligning and balancing the new steps while I bolted them in. Ignoring the other prep work that had to be done, it took me about 1 hour to actually unbolt and remove the OEM steps and bolt in the new steps.

We are extremely pleased with the Torklift Glowstep Revolution (TLA8004). It is solidly built, easy to install, easy to operate, and a suitable price!
We are also extremely pleased with etrailer's customer service! Upon receipt of the new steps, we immediately noticed that one of the landing feet and one of the guide pins were bent. The shipping box did not show the type of damage that could have caused the problem.
I emailed etrailer, and within 24 hours they had gotten back to me and the replacement parts would be shipped shortly. This was all during the height of the COVID-19 virus shutdowns. About 7 days later the parts arrived and within 15 minutes I had the damaged parts replaced.
I am grateful for both etrailer and Torklift customer service. Both are exceptional!
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
I can't believe how fast the delivery was... only 2 days... had them installed in about an hour by myself... instructions were very good and plenty of supplied hardware.... Thank you so much !!! I has supplied photos of the completed work... please note that the Roo is sitting in my sloping driveway with the hitch all the way to the ground and the rear is as high as it would EVER be... so these are the perfect fit. I also want to thank Dave Osterstuck at Anglin RV in Otto NC who had these steps on display. Dave had to have me go direct to Torklift in order to purchase this product. It is a shame that the rep put these on display in his store but he is not able to reach the rep or order from the rep catalog so he gets nothing from Torklift for carrying the display. Kudos to Dave at Anglin RV

We have now had these Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps for a year and this is by far the best aftermarket investment we have made. These steps making getting in and out of the 5th wheel so much easier. Won't have a trailer without them!!
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
I bought the Glowstep revolution four step with landing gear.. I could not be more satisfied... took about 1hour to install by myself with the help of a floor jack, that includes removing the old steps..!! Delivery from etrailer.com was fast and free shipping.. great company to deal with.. I have included a couple of pictures of my new steps.. we love them..
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
I installed the steps on a 2019 Grand Design Reflection 311BHS. I was very pleased how easy it was to remove the old steps and install these new steps. I used the one person method described in the owners manual that came with the steps. Very easy. Being set on the ground will make these steps more stable, then the factory installed steps. I was also very impressed with etrailer. The steps were shipped the same day that I placed the order. I received them in a short period of time. I have always been impressed with ordering things from etrailer.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Where was the easy button, it was harder to get it out of the box then install. The package was delivered at 4:45pm and I'm writing this review at 15 min after 5 pm ty etrailer for a eay swap and so far looks to be a really durable unit. And for the couple of times I opened it up and closed it looks to be a easy unit to use and I got the feet that go to the ground and they stabilize the trailer on entry really good.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Installation was simple and straight forward. It fit my Open Range like a glove. All things included i spent 1.5 hours start to finish (one person) I am very pleased with the operation of the steps. I have only had it on a smooth and solid surface but I can see the adjustability in the steps will fit any surface.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Install was easy though I did have to drill two holes in the existing brackets to clear bolts on the steps. This is mentioned as a possibility in the directions. If doing the install alone take the steps off the frame as noted in the directions for ease of install. Steps are sturdy as shown in numerous videos. The adjustments are easy for both the top and bottom. The only thing I'm wondering is if the two plastic catch doohickeys are supposed to be bent down as visible in the photos. I replaced a 3 step set with these because they were very bouncy and my old dog had a hard time negotiating the steep steps.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
The new stairs installed fairly easy, I could use two of the old upper bolts and welded two tangs to the trailer frame then drilled a 3/8 hole and bolted both bottom corners to the tangs.
The stairs have adjustments for any ground angles we have parked the RV on this year. The stairs are a bit pricey but well worth it !
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
We had gotten tired of the retractable steps that came with our camper. The rivets were always breaking and it always felt bouncy when you stepped on them. We thought about the fold in kind of steps, but didn't like the idea of whatever was on the steps getting inside the camper. Found the revolution scissor steps online and bought them. They were pretty easy to install. just unbolted the old ones and with a long socket extension bolted the new ones in place. We used them all last season and are now out again this camping season. I really like that they adjust for differing ground heights and they always feel solid when we use them. We are very pleased with them.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Well made and we love the more accessible access to our trailer. The old three-step was too much of an effort if you have health issues.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Wow, what a difference between the stock 3-step hardware and the TorkLift 4-step (8004)! Installation was a snap, even when I had to change mounting holes after checking alignment. The steps are VERY well built and operate smoothly. The range of adjustment makes it work in NUMEROUS situations and it passes the most critical check of all: "The wife check". The added step at the bottom gives her just enough height to reach the door handle and open the door without stepping up and then back down. In addition, the footing is rock-solid, since the steps are solidly on the ground... no more floating step flex! Finally, the rise of the steps (height of each step) dropped from 9" to about 7.5", which makes a BIG difference if you have bad knees, are getting older, or are carrying anything heavy. Stepping up smaller steps is ALWAYS better!
We chose this product so that we didn't have to worry about space to open the steps when our rig was in storage, as well as at rest areas, truck stops and rallies. The competitor makes a GREAT product, but it can prevent you from opening the steps if you are closely parked and don't have enough space between your rig and the next. I also prefer to store the steps outside... not inside.
While I would like to reduce the rating for price, EVERYTHING of quality in the RV industry is expensive and the TorkLift is no more expensive than the competitor... and every bit as good with a few added benefits. In short, it is worth the cost.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
The Torklift Glowsteps are GREAT, but it took 2 weeks from the time I ordered them to install the steps. Don't let that scare you. I'm 68, was working by myself, and have been disabled for 29 years, and I doubt anyone else will experience all the difficulties I did to buy, have delivered, and install the steps. I measured according to Torklift and etrailer instructions, and ordered the 4-step, 27 1/2-inch frame TLA8004 from etrailer, because that was the width of the original steps' frame. I also ordered the TLA8022 Vertical Stud Adapter Kit. When the steps arrived, the UPS driver had the step box sitting on what was the top, because the bottom had become completely un-taped during shipment. The steps and their frame were still in the box, but the owner's manual, installation instructions, warranty card, and hardware kit were not. The Stud Adapter Kit was in its own separate box, and was intact. While the steps were here, using a wood platform I built, I lifted them up into our trailer's step well with a floor jack to check the fit. That's when the REAL nightmare began. We had an industry-standard 27 1/2-inch step frame on the original steps, but the manufacturer had placed both the vertical studs in the floor at a steep angle, instead of perfectly vertical. The factory had bent the original step brackets to make the original suspended steps fit the brackets. But the Glowstep frame fits MUCH higher up, next to the floor, and there was no way the 27 1/2-inch Glowstep frame was going to work with those angled studs and our narrow step well. So when they reshipped another set of steps, I asked etrailer to replace the steps with the TLA8104 4-step (same price), which has a 25 1/2-inch-wide frame. I also ordered the TLA8020 Spacer KIt to use with the TLA8104. Problems like the shipping snafu and the stud problem are why I deal with etrailer, and my previous order history with the company is about an arm's length! Hally C. , Lisa D., and John R. were all VERY helpful in helping me to resolve my problems. They contacted UPS to pick up the original steps at my home (after I repacked and solidly retaped the box). In 2 days, UPS picked up the original steps (I kept the stud adapter kit). Next day, UPS delivered another set of Glowsteps with 25 1/2-inch frame, this time with an etrailer box stapled COMPLETELY around the Glowsteps box, and VERY securely stapled with 111 BIG staples!! Then the fun began. Due to disabilities and medications I take I can't be exposed to high heat for long, or I will pass out and/or be unable to walk into the house to cool off, and our heat index in Central Texas has been running in the +100 degree range. Actual temperatures in our metal RV garage have been running 110-117 or more from noon to about midnight. I had to make some small modifications in order for the step frame to fit on the angled (non-) vertical studs on our trailer. I do NOT recommend anyone else modify ANYTHING. But I was determined to get us some premium steps that were easier to climb at our ages, and warranty was NOT one of my concerns. In our tight RV garage we CANNOT use the pivoting steps that store inside that are becoming popular. The Glowsteps were our only option, so I HAD to make them fit. These steps are built like a tank anyway, so I can't imagine ever needing the warranty, only insurance, if the steps are damaged by some outside force. I still had spacing difficulty, so I ended up having to straighten the factory-installed step brackets that the factory workers had bent, and drill them to match the mounting holes in the Glowstep frame. Then I had to paint the bare metal exposed by the work I had to do. When I finally finished all this, and jacked the step frame up into the step well, everything fit perfectly, and I had access to all the hardware. Tight clearance between our trailer side and the RV garage wall is the reason we could not consider the pivoting steps which pivot up and store inside the doorway, and I'm glad to say that even though we can't extend the Glowsteps out all the way due to the metal framing of the garage wall, the steps are rock solid and can be easily and safely used in just about any position. I have bad knees, and my wife has a bad hip, and the difference these steps make in allowing us easy entry and exit from our trailer is like the difference between night and day from the original shaky, suspended factory steps. My wife's sister and 94-year-old mother have their own trailer and camp with us, and even my M-I-L can easily get in and out of our trailer now, with the Glowsteps. She has never liked having to climb into our trailer with the original steps, even with a folding platform at the bottom. The "rise" on our steps was just too much for many of us. She does have to use the assist handle on the wall for balance with the Glowsteps, but she has to do that on any trailer, even my niece's 5th-wheel, which has the pivoting, store-inside-the-door steps. The Glowsteps are NOT inexpensive, and I had no idea of the trouble I was about to run into in installing them, due to the angled (non) vertical studs installed on our trailer at the factory, and the limited space in our enclosed step well. But now that the blood, sweat, and tears are behind me and the Glowsteps are installed, I don't think that my wife and I will EVER regret making this upgrade to our trailer, which is our preferred (and ONLY) recreation, that we've enjoyed immensely for 45 years! THANK YOU, ETRAILER, and THANK YOU, HALLY C., LISA D., AND JOHN R. YOU ARE LIFESAVERS!!
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
After having to grind off my welded three steps on my articfox fifth wheel it was a breeze to mount these steps. I had to very slightly loosen the bolts on the steps as they were to hard for my wife to take out and put in. They are just what we needed and we love them.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Great product light weight and installed in factory step well on Montana 5th wheel with no modifications needed.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
Very easy install. 4 bolts to remove and replace. Used a floor jack and removed old and put in the new steps. Very sturdy, comfortable and easy to use.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
An amazing difference from the standard steps that bounced every time we entered the trailer! I realize newer models have these as standard features, but our case warranted an upgrade (2018 Shadow Cruiser). Installation was straightforward and once you get the technique of lowering and retracting steps, you won't regret!
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
The steps have served us well. We travel and change camp sites frequently. I have literally pulled these steps in and out 50 or 60 times since installation and very easy to use on uneven ground.
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
To replace the flimsy stock steps, ETrailer recommended this for my 2018 Pioneer BH17. Install was very simple, instructions very clear. Came with everything required, including two shims I didn't know that were definitely needed.
These steps are rock solid. No more spring-boarding off the bottom step : )
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
I ordered these steps for my Dad who is in his mid 80s. They were easy to install, are sturdy and secure. With the handrail that is built in to our 5th wheel trailer, my dad can now easily go in and out of the camper without worrying about that first or last "big step" that happens with the manufacturer installed steps. No more bouncing or shaking steps! My geriatric Siberian Husky loves them, too.
The adjustable height and the solid construction are well worth the price difference between TorkLift steps and the others on the market. You get what you pay for and these steps are fabulous!
Review from a similar GlowStep Revolution in RV and Camper Steps
The steps came earlier than expected and were a direct fit with four existing bolts. This was on our Grand Design , Reflection 303.
