Will MORryde StepAbove RV Steps Fit with a Threshold Height of 0.59"?

Question

Question:

I have a 2020 Rockwood mini lite 2509S with MORryde step above 1st edition. And I want to replace with the following. However, my threshold is only .59 inches above floor, thus it fails the 5/8 to 3/4 listed in your requirements. I was about to cut mine up to mimic this 2nd generation, but I could really use the removable version. Thus Id like to go with the 2nd edition. Thoughts? MORryde StepAbove RV Steps for 23-3/4 to 26-1/4 Wide Doorways - 3 Steps Part Number: MR48RR

Hey Brian!

I was able to get into contact with one of the guys at MORryde and he said the minimum is set at 0.62" so your 0.59" should be okay and not enough difference to mess up the fit of the MORryde StepAbove RV Steps # MR48RR with your threshold.

So I say go for it!

What's the appealing part of the removeable steps for you?

I store trailer on the side of my house. It is a royal pain to climb over the step to get inside, only did it twice! Thus it will be very nice to remove steps when storing trailer. I'm stuck between the MR48RR (34 to 36" entry) and the MR98RR (30 to 33.5 entry) difference being height. Currently trailer is on highly sloped driveway. Front is way up in the air to be level (completely extended tongue jack also in air). Measurement to threshold is currently 34 inches. Will be less when hitched up. If I go with the MR98RR it will probably work best when connected. However, does that mean that the legs won't extend far enough to reach ground when it out in driveway and we're loading or unloading. Is there really only 2 to 3 inches of play with either model?

@BrianL That is a bit of a dilemma, but I have an idea that might help make this easier. Do your current steps work really well height-wise, and which model do you have? If the steps you have now work well, then I can see what the Gen2 version will be.

@JonG I think it's 26-29, I have the ITEM # MR98RR on order, but it's waiting for the boot cleaner accessory. Order #XXX. I missed your reply.. The numbers on the back of my GEN 1 are: "WO: SS21358" and "-STP-3-26-29". Thank you, maybe if I ordered wrong it's not too late to modify?

Forgot, the GEN 1 is a pain, if ground isn't level, or a little high we sometimes dig out for the step, or pick trailer up quite a bit. It appears the GEN 2 gets around this. If ground is level with pad, where the steps hit ground height is ok, but often only the pad is level and area outside of wheel width is higher. When Boon docking same issue common. Similar at curb of house, can't close door because step too high. The tongue jack is 4" above ground in current location. I "carried" the threshold height to back of trailer and it's 33 inches, I let the trailer down so tongue is on ground, and it's 33 inches to threshold. So I'm thinking the 98 is the correct model? The GEN 1 we have has 3 steps.

You are right on. The 8" rise/drop on the MORryde StepAbove Fold-Down Steps #MR98RR is the height between the steps. The #MR48RR you were looking at has a 9" rise/drop meaning the distance between the steps is 9". The #MR98RR is…

Hi Jay, It sounds to me like the weldnut in the frame broke free and is allowing the bolt to spin. You're going to have to get into the frame to put pressure on the weldnut to remove the bolt. From some pictures I've seen it looks like there…

Spring bars can only be installed the one way. You would not be able to install them correctly upside down anyway. All you would need is a weight distribution shank that provides the right amount of rise needed to tow the trailer level. Measuring for…
