How do I Determine What Replacement Steps Fit My Flagstaff 5th-Wheel Trailer?

Question:

Do you have set of ‘concertina’ steps that would fit a Flagstaff super lite 5th wheel 529IKR? We loathe the steps that are currently installed. Thanks

When you mention "concertina" steps, I am assuming you mean scissoring steps with the bottom hinges. If this is the case, there are a few critical considerations that determine what steps you need for your Flagstaff Super Lite 5th-Wheel 529IKR.

The first consideration is how many steps you are looking for. Different models have different numbers of steps involved. As for the measurements, the two main measurements we need to know is the entryway height (the measurement of the bottom of the door from the ground) and the entryway width (the measurement of the doorway from left to right). With these two dimensions, we can determine how much height you need for your steps and also how long the steps need to be.

For instance, if you are looking for a 4-step model and the entryway is 33 inches high x 24 inches wide, a great option would be the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps - 4 Steps - Aluminum - Non-Slip Tread - 24" Wide - 300 lbs # AS24.

In order to know what steps are a perfect fit for you, feel free to respond with your entryway height and width. Also, feel free to respond if you have a step number preference.
