Lippert RV Steps for steady entry

Step in with confidence using Lippert RV steps that feel sturdy underfoot and make great replacements for factory steps. Check fit by measuring the doorway width at the widest point beyond the flanges and the threshold height while the trailer is on level ground. Install is straightforward with basic tools, though some setups may need minor mods like trimming a screen door frame or threshold, notching a door frame, or adding outriggers or a backer plate and hardware.
Yes, replacement hardware and a backer plate are available for SolidStep installations. Confirm you're getting the correct hardware kit for your step style. A locking storage box accessory is also offered that replaces folding steps and provides added storage if you're changing configurations.
Measure the doorway at the widest point, beyond the flanges. Check the threshold height with the trailer on level ground. If the two measurements don't line up with a given step style, recheck both before ordering. Taking accurate measurements reduces the chance of door interference and extra trimming.
Installation is generally straightforward. A floor jack or a helper to hold the steps makes lining up bolts easier. Expect minor mods like notching or light grinding at the bottom of the door frame if the door rubs. Remove the threshold if needed, and level the landing by adjusting the legs before tightening hardware to prevent door scrape.
Use Lippert outriggers to provide the correct bolt hole locations for mounting. Square up the outriggers before tightening so the step frame sits true. If holes are slightly off, opening the mounting holes on the trailer bracket may be needed. Test-fit the step before final torque.
It can if the landing isn't level or the threshold sits too high. Level the steps by reducing the leg length and remove the threshold if needed. If the screen door catches, mark and trim the bottom of the screen door frame as outlined: tape the step bracket edges, close the screen door, mark, and cut the marked section. Some screen door add-ons may need to be removed.
