Will Lippert SolidSteps Work for You?
Fold-down steps are typically installed on travel trailers and some RVs. The fold-down steps from Lippert lift up to latch into your camper's doorway for storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Lippert SolidSteps install inside your camper's doorframe. Measuring for this may seem tricky, but once you know what to look for, figuring out the right fit for your RV doorway is easy.
Measure between the door frame flanges - the doorway width - to determine the step size that will fit into your camper's doorway. You will need a doorway that is at least 29" wide to 36" wide for these steps to work.
If it turns out you have a wider or narrower doorway, there are other step assemblies that fit doorways ranging from 24" wide to 36" wide. A full list of the available steps is below.
To make sure your doors will close when the steps are installed, measure from the top of the threshold plate to the bottom of the door. You will need a gap of about 1/4" to 3/8" to allow the door to close over the step's mounting plate.
The doorway threshold will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To decide on 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.
Once you know your doorway width and entry heigh measurements, the chart below will tell you which part number you need. This page's step assembly is in bold text.

Aluminum fold-down steps with 13" deep top step attach to the threshold of your RV. Designed to fit 29" to 36" wide doorways. Industry standard 8" drop/rise between steps. Adjustable legs keep the steps level on uneven ground.The steps are awesome! I've been thinking about these for a while now and was forced to make a decision as my original pull out steps on my Winne finally broke. etrailer has always been my go to for trailer parts. I watched installation videos and also followed their guidelines to ensure a good fit. Ordered the steps and they arrived quickly - the shipping box was pretty beat up but all the parts were there. Installed in about 1 hour with my sister's help and they fit perfectly. Best investment yet. Thank you etrailer!!
As a person with balance issues; the angle and larger step reduces the risk of falling. The steps that come with the trailer are usually steeper angle and smaller steps. Highly recommend especially for those that have similar medical conditions.
When I originally ordered the item, it was out of stock. Once it was received in stock, I received it within just a couple of days. The item was slightly damaged in shipping and missing some parts. But that is not on etrailer. I’m sure it was packaged at the manufacturer in a way to not protect the item very well considering rough handling during shipping. I called etrailer and they are sending me the replacement parts that I need. I appreciate their efforts.
One of the best upgrades we ever made to our RV!
Etrailer has always been a great to purchase from
Well step showed up with a little damage due to ruff shipping handling. box was tore up, feet hanging out. turned out missing hardware also. I think these should be packaged better! etrailer. was great and gave some credit back for dents and hardware. The The main door closes fine with step out ,but I had trim quite a bit off the bottom of the screen door to get it to work as others have posted. So make bottom of door clearances part of your consideration when buying.
The install of step is easy and very basic other than screen door bottom clearance. The top step is huge and the steps are rock solid.
I am very happy with steps just plan on maybe some door modifications before you order them
First I didn’t understand why it took 8 days before the “in stock” product was shipped. 13 days after I placed my order I received my steps. I first noticed the top of the stringers were bent on both sides. (Really poor packaging by Lippart) Well I’ll live with that so started to install them. The threshold of the steps was severely warped due to the hinge being welded on. (Poor fabrication practices) I knew I would have to trim my screen door. But I never put the first fastener in (per instructions) BC the warped threshold wouldn’t allow for my main door to close.
The warp is more than 3/8 of an inch which is a severe bow imo.
Gonna call etrailer now and see what direction to travel now. And freight companies handle freight really rough these days.
Very please with these steps on our Vlite by flagstaff
Received the Lippert travel trailer steps in 4 days and installed in less than 4 hours easy installation and we love them. Ashley at extension 79333 was a pleasure to work with. Thanks etrailer and Ashley and keep up the good work.
They work great so much better than the pull out steps .
Obviously a returned product,mounting screws and parts missing, product is damaged, will be returning.
Happy campers indeed! These steps are simply the best. Extremely sturdy and very well made. They replaced the original stairs on our fifth wheel which were unstable and unsafe. What an upgrade! Highly recommend. Well worth the price.
Very strong easy to store and safe footing for in and out of camper

The solid step has worked perfectly for the last year it is very strong we love it
Product was as advertised, easy installation, delivered in a timely mannor
Great steps, but next time probably get four step. My summer lot drifts away fifth wheel kingpin way high to be level which affects step height big time!

It may be possible to move up to the Solidstep 4 Step part # LC791575. There are a few measurements that you will want to take. Besides measuring the the width between the door flanges and measuring from the top of the threshold plate to the bottom of the door, you will want to measure from the mounting point to the ground. The entry height should roughly match the height of the steps when theyre fully extended, and it will tell you how many steps you need. I would check to make sure you will have the room before investing in the 4 step option.
Purchased these steps a year ago. They were installed by myself in about 4 hours from start to finish. Don't work as fast as I use to. We owned a fifth wheel for 16 years but than upgraded to a newer one. The steps were not as solid as the pervious 5th wheel. Didn't like the steps giving with weight so looked for something more solid. Found these on the enternet and very happy with them. Solid as a rock. No movement at all. I will however tell you where we camp it is always on a concrete slab. Can not say how they would work on dirt. I did not purchase the hand rail as we prefer the hand rail attached to the 5th wheel. Very happy with the stability of the steps and the easy set up and fold up they require. Because I wanted to test the steps before removing the old ones I had both steps ready to use. However, now after one season I will remove the old steps and utilize the space for storage. Building my own box for storage of my small generator. So glad I found these steps. The wife loves them too.
Excellent product. Solid, well built, and very functional. Installation was fairly straight-forward and the product is working perfectly.
etrailer made the step replacement for my parents RV affordable and convenient. The free shipping was a huge plus. The fit was perfect.
Top of the line service and quality good people
This set of fold down steps are quality made! I love em! Easy to install, easy to use and fold away.
I wish they had this as an option when I bought my trailer years back. So much sturdier to go into the trailer now. Getting ready to another one for the rear door. Easy to put on.
Had to return 1st set of steps. But they had another set to me within a week.
These steps are exactly as described. Read the instruction sheet, but u tube video's do a better job of explaining the installation. Very quick and easy to install. These steps are well worth the money.
Purchased the manual fold down steps for my 5th wheel. Original fold out steps are weak and feel unsafe.
Ordering steps through Etrailer was very easy and they arrived earlier than the posted date.
Lippert box was very unsuitable and legs were sticking out through the end. They really need to beef up the packaging.
Installation was easy following the instructions provided. I also purchased the handrail accessory and installed it on the steps that works in conjunction with the existing handrail on the camper.
The steps are just what I had hoped for and are very sturdy for a 300 lb 6’4” man.
Long story short this was the 4th attempt at getting these steps but first 3 were via Amazon. First set were too long. The 4 step model for my camper were too long. Measurements really need to be questioned. I was "inbetween" and it was recommended to go with the 4 step model. Wrong recommendation. 3 step was needed for a perfect fit. Sent those back and then Amazon proceeded to ship me the 26" wide vs the 30" TWICE. In fact the second time it was the SAME BOX I sent back a few days earlier. So, I found the model needed on etrailer for same price. Everything installed as expected HOWEVER, I had to loosen up the bolts for the foot pad and the right leg extension because they just wouldn't move. ALSO, the box did not contain the underfloor mounting bracket needed(if you didn't have a solid wood floor). So that tells me I received a "sent back" unit from another customer. This was also evident by the way the box was taped up and the condition of the box. However, overall the steps are now installed and look great. Slight modification needed on screen door to get it to close but otherwise a great upgrade for the rv. 4 stars because of prompt delivery. Not 5 stars because of "assumption" that it was a returned from another customer item.
