Features to know about
Stable Entry on Any Ground: Scissor Steps Adjust from 24"–30" Heights
These aluminum scissor steps give you a solid, wobble-free way to get in and out, even when the ground isn’t level. The self-adjusting design keeps all three 17" wide steps stable on uneven terrain. With an 8" drop between treads, climbing feels natural. The 250 lb weight capacity gives steady support without bending or flexing.
Sure Footing in All Conditions: Diamond Tread Steps with 6-1/4" Depth
Each step has a 6-1/4" deep diamond tread surface that grips your shoes or boots and keeps you steady in wet or dusty conditions. It’s the kind of footing you can trust whether you’re hauling gear or helping kids and pets climb up safely.
Light but Strong: Heavy-Gauge Aluminum Construction Weighs Only 15 lbs
Built from heavy-gauge aluminum, the entire assembly is tough yet easy to handle at only about 15 lbs. You get a sturdy set of stairs that won’t rust or feel flimsy, but still light enough to lift, attach, or pack away without strain.
Compact and Removable for Travel: Folds Down to 9-1/2" x 18-1/2" x 9-1/4"
When it’s time to move, the steps collapse neatly and unclip from the included 18-1/4" wide mounting bracket. The folded size makes storage simple and keeps dirt outside your rig. A handrail (AHR3, sold separately) can be added for even more stability when you’re set up at camp.

These steps worked out great for my application. I am always pulling some type of trailer behind our camper so entering the camper is difficult. I made a platform that goes into a customized receiver hitch. These steps were the perfect size to make everything work. Much safer then step stolls.

Decent steps while camper is on the truck. There made for a certain height so when lowering the camper down they don’t work.
Seems most attachments for campers are made for the typical 4” tube bumper. Ours has the step style which the hook/bar that attaches the steps to the camper don’t fit. We added/welded a piece on each side so it would fit properly when loaded on the truck.
I want to thank etrailer customer service for their help when our steps was lost. I contacted them after it was (said) delivered they did an investigation and replaced them in a week. Thanks

My husband built a truck camper, lighter than commercial, to serve our back road adventures. He considered several options for steps and came upon your scissor steps! He ordered, they arrived in just a few days and was pleased with the ease of attaching, folding and sturdiness of the steps. Thank you for a great product.

I had a three step foldable ladder I was using to get in/ out of my trick camper. Getting in was easy but getting out was very unstable. These foldable steps make a great improvement! Install wasn't hard and stowing them away in my truck is great as they take up very little space!

I purchased this product for other than it’s intended use and it worked out perfectly. A breath of fresh air to receive a top quality, American made product. Thank you for the craftsmanship and quality of materials. After seeing the quality of this product and finding how well it suits me need, I only wish I would have ordered the wider set. Hat’s off to etrailer!! Buy American and from this company, you will not be disappointed!!

I ordered these steps for our travel trailer. They shipped the same day I ordered them and arrived on time. Super easy to install. They are VERY sturdy and the distance between the steps is perfect. It was always a stretch to use the steps that came with the trailer and a bit clanky. These are a great replacement.

Stairs installed see attachment. Only have one suggestion so additional customers don't require a additional spacer. My camper is a 2005 and I had to add a 1/4 thick spacer between the camper shell and the stair upper bracket because of the entry door lower sill but besides that everything worked out great. Thanks

We have used the heck out of ours for a year now. Constantly up and down with somewhat heavy loads ours has been a lifesaver for us. It's just as sturdy as the day we got it. We have not spent one minute doing any maintenance or cleaning on it. With the quality of craftsmanship I would expect to pay a lot more. Definitely a great buy.

I have never used the steps. I bought them for the times my older mom comes on trips with me and she never went on any trips last year. She will be traveling with me during spring and I am sure she will like the steps a lot. Thank you for your follow-up.

Stairs fit my application just right to land from the camper to a platform on the trailer ... this is my second one, lost the first one in a moment of carelessness. It's well made and after a year of use, camping every week in the summer, it's not at all loose.

This is a knee saver. We attached it to our Mobile Tropical Shaved Ice Truck and it makes it so much easier to get in and out the rear door. The quality, construction and lightweight makes this the idea steps for any RV, Mobile Truck or Camper. The ease of attaching, and detaching and folding is a breeze. Highly recommend.

- Dimensions Of Brophy Camper Scissor Steps AS03 When FoldedHello Dennis. The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS03 are 9-1/2 x 18-1/2 x 9-1/4 when folded. I made a diagram for you to help illustrate. Hope this helps!
view full answer... - Scissor Step for Trailer with 24 inches of Height and Lower Rise Between StepsI wish we had something as we get this request a lot but all of the scissor step kits out there like the Brophy Scissor Steps part # AS03 have a higher amount of rise between the steps at around 8 inches like this one. Now with that said since this step set has a range of 24 inch to 30 inch and your height is 24 inches there's a good chance this would actually have a slightly lower rise between steps.
view full answer... - Recommended 3 Step Brophy Camper Scissor Steps for a 2022 Winnebago Spirit MotorhomeYes they do, Christine, what you're looking for is the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS03.
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.

- Weight of Brophy Aluminum and Steel Scissor StepsThe Aluminum Scissor Steps # AS03 that you referenced weigh 15 lbs and the Scissor Steps # SS03 weigh 29 lbs. As you can see, aluminum is much lighter.
view full answer... - How Much Do the Brophy Steel 3-Step Camper Scissor Steps SS03 WeighThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps part # SS03 weigh around 25 lbs. If you are looking for the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps but made of aluminum instead of steel you can use part # AS03 which weighs around 15 lbs. We also have the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps part # AS23 which are also made of aluminum and weigh around 20 lbs.
view full answer... - Could Brophy Scissor Steps part # AS03 Attach to Top of TailgateThe mounting bracket for the Brophy Scissor Steps part # AS03 could certainly be attached to the top of a truck tailgate with the included hardware but it's hard to say if your tailgate would be rated for the weight of people walking up and down on the steps.
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... - Recommended Scissor Step For A 36" Entry Height The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS04 have an entry height range of 31" - 40" so it would be the correct fit for your 36" entry height. If you would prefer a wider step we also off the # AS24, which has the same entry height range but is 24" wide instead of only 17" like the # AS04.
view full answer... - Repair Broken Rivets on Brophy Camper Scissor StepsWhile we do not have a specific rivet repair kit for the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps, # AS03, we do have the Rivet Gun # PT99ZR and Replacement 1/8" Rivets, # WM9026-40 available.
view full answer... - Distance Between Steps on Aluminum Scissor StepsThe 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 well. The distance between each step will be 7 inches.
view full answer... - Are the Steel Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # SS03 Available in AluminumWe do have the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # SS03 in aluminum. This is found on our site as part # AS03. Please note that the aluminum version has a weight capacity of 250 lbs as opposed to the 300 lbs of capacity that the steel version has. If you would like to add some more stability to these steps then the handrail # AHR3 can be used. The manufacturer specifically states that these steps should not be mounted permanently. You really should remove them before you start traveling.
view full answer... - Recommended Scissor Steps for a Pickup Truck Camper With Tailgate Height of 23-24 inchesThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS03 is what I would go with if I were in your shoes. If you are needing a height of at least 24 inches then it is better to get steps that can extend past your minimum height requirement in case you need a little more height. The Tailgate Scissor Step Bracket # TSSB by Brophy is what you are going to need so that you can install the Scissor Steps on your tailgate.

The steps have a 7-1/2 inch rise with steps that are 20 inches by 8 inches. The overall width is 21-1/2" wide x 12-1/2" tall x 8-1/2" deep. It has leveling feet to help with uneven ground. If you need a smaller width, the only option we have is the Brophy Scissor Step # SS03 in black or # AS03 in aluminum. These are 17 inch...
view full answer... - Hand Rail that Can be Used with Brophy Scissor Steps AS03Brophy has a hand rail part # AHR3 that you can use with the Brophy camper scissor steps part # AS03 that you have but the Stromberg Carlson set you mentioned would not work as it is designed for a different set.
view full answer... - Can The Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS03 Fold Up For TravelThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # AS03 do retract to make them easier to haul around but these steps do have to be removed from the mounting bracket for travel. These steps are designed for use on truck bed campers and wouldn't really be the best option for a motorhome. Instead I recommend going with some fold down steps like the MORryde Quick Connect RV Steps # MR32JR. To determine which exact model will fit your motorhome you'll need to measure your entry height (from the ground to...
view full answer... - Availability of Non-Skid 17 inch Wide RV Scissor StepIn the width you are wanting we only have the diamond plate tread on the steps like the # AS03. But you could trim the Lippert Components Non-Skid Tape part # LC381178 and apply it to the tops of the steps.
view full answer... - Do Cross Braces on Stromberg-Carlson Porch Trailer Step # EHS-103-R Need to be Attached Each TimeYes, my contact at Stromberg-Carlson confirmed that the 8 cross braces on their Porch Trailer Step # EHS-103-R need to be screwed into place each time the step is used. This unit comes fully assembled except for the handrail, which attaches on either side with two nuts and bolts, and the cross braces which also attach with their included nuts and bolts. We do offer other steps including scissor-type extending steps like the Brophy # AS03 that install permanently and extend when needed....

Click on it to enlarge the picture. The bracket attaches to your chosen mounting location using the 4 screws that are included. You can see them in the last picture. They will need to be attached to a solid metal section of the truck, so it can handle the weight of being used. With the bracket installed, the...
view full answer... - Can Brophy Steel Scissor Steps RustThe Brophy scissor steps # SS03 are steel with a black powder coat. Steel can rust if it is exposed to the elements. Eventually the powder coat can get chips or scratches in it exposing the steel and then it can start to rust. If you notice scratches or chips you can spray paint over them to help prevent corrosion. Another option is to go with the aluminum version, # AS03. Aluminum is naturally corrosion resistant and will not rust like steel. I have linked a video review of the aluminum...

The steps have held up well. Now when we are not towing Ive also made a double mountain bike rack that swings out of the way. The steps still offer easy entry.
