I have a screen defender installed on my 2022 Grand Design XLS 23LDE Kitchen door. Will there be enough room between the solid step and the screen defender when closed?

Hi John; there will be enough room for the Lippert SolidStep RV Steps # LC791572 and a Screen Defender like # LC52FR when closed so you can have them installed at the same time.

Hey John, did the SolidStep and Screen Defender fit together the way you expected on your Grand Design? Knowing how the clearance turned out could help others setting up the same combo.

@RobinH Yes it worked out. The screen door does have to be fully open though, or the solid step will make contact with it.

Yes, it does! You'll want the 8' long Mighty Cord 7-Way RV Style Trailer Connector w/ Molded Cable item #A10-7W8. To keep all of your connections in a secure organized place, I recommend the Trailer Wiring Junction Box item #3375601100.
