Hey Lars, thanks for reaching out!

I definitely have some options for you, but it will be helpful to know what the entry height is for your camper to ensure you get the right sizing for the stairs.

The Hitch Stair # RHS2 installs in a 2" receiver and will work if you'll be removing your tailgate, but my favorite is the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps # TLA7844 because of how stable the stairs are, and that you can remove them and store them in the camper. The GlowSteps I referenced are for a 31" - 42" entry height so if you have something different please let me know!

Do either of these solutions look like the style you were wanting?

@LarsP Just so I understand, you're needing some steps to attach to your tailgate which acts as a mini "porch" to your in-bed camper. Correct?

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
