Question:
I am looking at buying some steps for our new, to us anyway, Palomino truck camper. Our truck is about 35 inches off the ground with the camper loaded in the bed. Which steps should I buy, 4 steps or 5 steps? I am leaning toward the 4 steps as the last ones I bought for another different truck and camper were too long and I felt like they would bend in the middle when going down. Which ones would be best for my truck? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

Brophy steps # AS04 are a great option because they have an extended range of 31 to 39 inches. With your height at 35 inches it is right in the middle of that range and that is a good place to be. These steps have a 250 pound capacity. For a little higher capacity but still in a 4-step model with the same 31 to 39 inch range I recommend # AS24. They are rated for 300 pounds.
