Upgrade your towable camper with Lippert RV steps that feel solid underfoot and cut the shake when you climb in. Install is doable with basic tools, though some setups call for minor mounting mods or trimming a threshold or screen door, so confirm doorway width and threshold height before you bolt them up. A dependable replacement for rickety fold-outs that makes entry feel steadier and more secure.
Yes, replacement hardware and a backer plate are available for SolidStep installs. An optional step stabilizer can be added. There's also a locking RV storage box that can replace folding steps to gain storage. Verify compatibility with your step style before ordering parts.
Yes, they help reduce movement and provide a sturdy feel. Users note a more comfortable, stable, and safer entry compared to rickety fold-out steps. Wide, deep treads can make getting in and out easier. Adjust the legs to level the landing and further minimize shake.
Match the steps to your doorway width and threshold height. Measure the doorway at the widest point beyond the flanges, and take threshold height with the trailer on level ground. If the numbers don't seem to line up, recheck both measurements. After installation, check screen door clearance and level the legs so the door doesn't scrape the landing.
You can add Lippert outriggers to provide the needed bolt hole locations. Check your current welded brackets for spacing; some setups need holes opened slightly for alignment. Once squared and aligned, the steps mount securely.
Installation is generally straightforward with basic tools. Plan for minor mounting modifications like notching the bottom of the door frame, removing or grinding the threshold a bit, or opening up bracket holes to match spacing. Squaring outriggers and using a helper or floor jack to hold the steps can make the job easier.
