Navigating uneven terrain while stepping into your RV or trailer is no longer a challenge with the Adjustable-Height feature of this platform step. It provides a seamless transition from 4 inches to 8 inches in height, ensuring stable footing whether you're dealing with sloping camping grounds or uneven driveways. The legs fold out easily, making it perfect for quick adjustments without the hassle of retracting mechanisms.
Safety is paramount when it comes to stepping up or down, especially in wet or slippery conditions. This platform step boasts a non-slip surface that ensures your foot stays put, reducing the risk of slips or falls. Whether you’re stepping out of your RV after a rainy night or after a long drive, you can do it with peace of mind.
Despite its heavy-duty steel construction, the folding platform step is incredibly portable. Weighing only 16 lbs, it is perfect for those who need a sturdy step without adding unnecessary weight to travel gear. The robust build offers a high weight capacity of 300 lbs, making it ideal for supporting both people and heavy items with ease.
Storage space is often limited in RVs, trailers, or crowded vehicle trunks. The folding design of this step ensures that it takes up minimal space when not in use, making storage a breeze. This feature allows you to keep it handy for whenever a stable boost is needed without cluttering your vehicle.
Stepping onto a stable platform is critical, especially when the ground beneath is uneven. With a sizable 24 x 16-inch platform, this step provides ample space for secure footing. The generous sizing is perfect for those moments when you need extra confidence stepping in or out of your motorhome or SUV.
This platform step isn’t just for RVs; it's ideal for helping shorter individuals reach high vehicle seats, assisting pets, or even providing a stable platform for maintenance tasks like cleaning windows. Its versatility extends its usefulness into everyday settings, proving itself to be an essential tool for diverse needs.

Today we're going to review part number S-150. This is the Stromberg Carlson Adjustable-Height, Folding Platform Step. Steel finish in a 300 pound weight capacity. Now this step stool will give you the extra height you need to get into hard-to-reach areas. It's perfect for use as a starter step when entering or leaving your RV. It does have the adjustable legs on the bottom, have 2 height positions.
Basically, if they're folded in like this, they would set right on here and give you 4 inches in height. If you pop the legs out, just pop them open like this. With it fully open like this, that will get you 8 inches in height. It does have, the whole top here, is a non-slip surface which provides sure footing. The folding design, as we showed you, it has a ...
When you fold them in it gives you a nice simple storage. It does have a nice high-grade, powder coated steel finish that'll helps resists rust and corrosion. Again, the dimensions on this. The length is 24 inches. The width would be 16 inches. Again, the step height with it in the open, legs in the open position is going to be right at 8 inches tall.
When you drop them under, it'd be 4 inches tall. Now, the weight capacity on this is 300 pounds. It does come with a one year warranty. I just want to show you again how these legs would drop down. Fold them down.
That's in the folding position or if you flip it over you can use it in the 4 inch height position. Just like that. That should do it for the review on part number S-150. This is the Stromberg Carlson Adjustable-Height, Folding Platform Step. Steel, in 300 pound weight capacity. .
This step has served us well. Non skid surface for safety, folds compact, but is large enough for safe entry to our camper. After a year, it still looks like new. Great value, fit our needs. Ordering, shipping, and follow-up was super.(We bolted on a pipe cap to raise it to the height we needed. There is a hole in the bottom of each leg)
Needed a step to help entry and exit of my enclosed car trailer. Attached steps are prone to dragging plus the cost is more for a quality step. This portable step is sturdy, a reasonable price, and fits my need perfectly.

Its great, no complaints!
I've been looking for a quality, collapsible step to use with our RV for a very long time and I finally found it! We were using a step made of wood and the Carlson step is far superior! The Carlson step collapses to a very handy size, it is deeper than the wooden step it replaces by about 50%, it is far more stable, the dog won't chew on it, and it has a non skid surface. Excellent product and I do highly recommend it.

Better than expected. Easy to handle and store, holds up well. Ive recommended this to several friends.
Perfect step for out OutdoorsRV 25RDS white it’s 25” width!
Quick delivery and very sturdy. I can't wait to use it on our first camping trip of the session in 2 weeks.
This is a wonderful product! I recommend this product. It is sturdy and very well-made. I am absolutely thrilled with it.
This unit is solid…the legs are well connected and will last a good long time under continuous use…the step are itself has cross steel underneath making the whole surface feel very solid with no give at all anywhere when standing or stepping onto it..the finish is solid and should resist scratches and keep rust away…I would but this again.
Step is exactly as described and perfect for our trailer. I have a nice solid platform to step down onto.
I needed to get a step for my trailer. I looked on line and noticed this one. It is perfect! Also I received a call from the company to ask me about my order. Great customer service.
i've ordered things from etrailer before and have been satisfied with timeliness of shipping, customer service(on one item) and quality of merchandise. to quote: an RV is a hole in the ambient surrounded by fiberglas into which one throws money". i expect to bea return customer in the future.
Excellent product
Decent step with a decent price we're all in all happy with the results for our RV. It will give you an extra 8 inches of height and a large non skid step.
I had been looking for a wide step up platform for my BBQ competition trailer when I saw a competitor with this same step. I Googled and found it first on Etrailer. Very stable and stores easily. Highly recommend!

Great! I have bad knees so this has been a great addition for helping me to get in and out of my trailer
Greatest step...also just to let u know how sturdy it is...I ran over it w my 20' RV with back tire ...the step's foldable foot was shoved into the ground
And just slightly bent but still completely useable...my next big trip I left it at a road side park..needless to say I was sick I didn't get it back...sooo I'm ordering another and I'm making a check list taped to my RV so I know I have everything before I take off....

I love the step stool...and the ladder is great...highly recommend your company
Outstanding product. Very sturdy and with the large base, I don't have to worry about anyone falling stepping out of the trailer. If you are looking for a nice step, this is the one to buy.
Thanks again.

Still going strong after one year. Nice step and the surface is still looking great even after being in the elements all year long.
Received product with one leg of the step not welded properly. It was bent on the side and the base of the step bowed down after 1 day use. I tried to contact for refund and email was blocked.

Hey A.G. I'm sorry that that happened with the step and your email not coming thru. I'll get this taken care of for you.
What a difference stepping into our trailer! We were looking at spending LOTS more on new steps, the high quality sturdiness of this step makes it perfect! And we saved a lot of money!

Still love the steps, couldnt live without them now.
Sturdy big step provides a safer base to get in and out of your trailer. Doesn’t adjust, which I misunderstood from the description.

The step is indeed adjustable. It has two height adjustments. With the the legs folded up, the step stool is 4 inches and height, 8 inches with the legs folded out.
Arrived in good time. Although made of steel, it's very manageable to lift compared to a wood platform I had to build for my disabled brother and dad to get in and out of our 4x4 SUV. We needed a larger platform so I ordered two of these.
Pros: Easy to lift and put in and out of car.
Legs are angled out so if a person steps at the edge of the platform it doesn't tilt as a straight leg would and is still stable on flat ground.
Cons:
It was rusty at the joints, out of the box.
The legs don't lock, you have to be sure you check the legs are pulled out or it will collapse when stepped on. Weird there's no click or lock for this.
The rubber feet, like many others, have stated, easily come off and one of the two boxes didn't even have the rubber tips. I glued the rubber to the metal as soon as I got a chance so I wouldn't lose it. And contacted customer service on chat and they are sending me out the missing pieces.
I'm not sure if the platform was assembled correctly as there is a pin looking part at each leg but it doesn't appear to have a function that I can tell.
Customer service has always been excellent over the years from etrailer so I would purchase again as I don't have many options for what I needed and I trust they are there when I need them.
As for the rust spots, I'll use some rustoleum spray and try to stop the rust and never plan to leave it in the rain.
We love the platform step. We've had it for a year, and we've used it several times while we camp. Our camper doesn't have steps, so it was quite a drop from the camper to the ground, and vise versa. The step is just perfect. It's sturdy, adjusts to different heights, and stores easily. The non-slip surface is much appreciated, also.
Just took out of box and seems a very sturdy product. I would suggest that they tell you to place on top of a non-skid surface. The top is non-skid but the metal legs should rest on a rubber mat.

The step makes it so much easier for me to climb in and out of my motorhome. My hips and knees feel much better. Thank you!
This step was EXACTLY what we were wanting and they have held up spectacularly!!!! I would highly recommend this to others. High q, durable, and the legs fold for very easy and compact storage.

This step is still perfect for us!! I still recommend them and IF I ever have to buy a replacement step, I would buy this one AGAIN!!!!
Both products I bought are excellent. I have already used the platform step and installed the LED light bulbs. The platform step is perfect for my small dogs to get up and down from the travel trailer. The LED lights are brighter and use less energy. Very impressed with your company. Will be purchasing more items in the very near future.
I have used etrailer before and was happy and I used again and I am extremely happy. I had to call the order line and get advise on a 2" rise trailer hitch extension and also a step platform. etrailer people knew what they were talking about. I placed the order and received it today. I am very happy with the help I received and my order.
I was impressed with the quality and service from etrailer. I have bought several items for our cargo conversion and they have all exceeded my expectations. This stool is firm and steady. Provides great stability for entering the trailer.
Quality items, great value, fair price and friendly service... what more can you ask for?
Thanks etrailer!
Do you have a question about this RV Step?
Condition: Badly Dinged
Notes: The frame is dented in a couple of places. There are some bubbles underneath the grip on top of the step. There is very minor wobbling on the step.
