The hinge plate of the MORryde Flip Tread RV Steps item # MR42UR is 4-1/4" in depth so you have some room to work with. According to MORryde, you will need 5-1/2" of clearance inside the door threshold to fold up the steps. I attached a picture below from the instructions to show you.
I have linked the installation instructions below. If you have any additional questions feel free to throw them into the comment box below.

Hey, how did things go with the MORryde Flip Tread RV Steps and the hinge placement near your door sill? It’d be great to hear if the 5-1/2 inches of clearance worked out for you. Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same steps.
