The TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear - 3 Steps - 25-7/16" Base - 350 lbs # TLA8103 and similar are great steps for replacement options. The biggest consideration is the base measurements of your current steps. You will want the base of the unit of the replacement steps to be as close as possible to that measurement and have the ability to fit within the same location (each product page has these measurements). If you are not wanting to fit within a predetermined mounting space, then you can use the TorkLift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear - 4 Steps - 20" Wide - 350 lbs # TLA7804-8000 that mount to the face of your RV under the door frame. These are great steps and you just need to determine the size and how many steps you need. The glowing portions of these steps make them easy to use in the early or late hours of the day and the stabilizing feet make a level step and supported step an extremely nice feature.
There is also the TorkLift GlowGuide Handrail for Campers and RVs with GlowStep Scissor Steps # TLA7621 which I've pictured with the steps that mount under the door frame as mentioned above.
I've linked a couple of pages to all of your options to make it easier for you to choose the right fit.
