Expert Reply:
I would be happy to help you determine if 4 step RV steps will fit your 2008 Forest River Cardinal LE 5th wheel trailer, but I will need to know the entry height of your RV and the width and depth of the space underneath the doorway.
The entry height of your RV is measured from the top edge of the mounting location to the ground while on a level surface as shown in the included picture.
For example the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear - 4 Steps - 27-1/2" Base - 375 lbs # TLA8004 has the 4 steps you are looking for but requires a 27-1/2" wide x 13-7/8" deep mounting location under the door of your RV and is designed for entry heights between 32-1/2" - 44".
If the mounting location on your Cardinal is smaller than 27-1/2" there is the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear - 4 Steps - 25-1/2" Base - 375 lbs # TLA8104 which still has 4 steps but only requires the mounting location to be 25-1/2" wide x 13-7/8" deep.
If you can confirm the entry height of your RV and the dimensions of the mounting location I would be happy to confirm the correct steps for you.
I included a video of the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps for you to take a look at.
