Question:

I am looking for a cargo carrier that has steps so that we can enter our truck camper door without unhooking the cargo carrier. Do you have such a carrier?

We do not have a cargo carrier that has a step, but we do have hitch extenders with a step integrated to allow you to have both. I recommend using the Buyers Products 12" Hitch Receiver Extension with Step # 3371804015. You will want to note that using an adapter like this will reduce the tongue weight of your trailer hitch receiver will be reduced by 50% which means your cargo carrier max will be reduced. This will work with any 2 inch receiver compatible cargo carrier.

If you are looking for a higher step, the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 2 Steps - Steel - Diamond Tread - 17" Wide - 275 lbs # SS02 or the 3 Step # SS03 may give you more what you are seeking. This may either rest on the carrier or reach past the carrier to the ground depending on your cargo carrier.
