22 inch wide steps?

Our travel trailer has two entry doors, one of which only has 22 inch wide douoble steps. The main entry has 24 inch wide tripe steps. I would like to add a triple step to the second entry but have not had any luck finding any. I can find double steps in 22 inch width. Anyone know of a source? I have tried CW, local dealer, and Lippert.
  • Have you every found the narrower steps? I'm looking to do the same thing and the mounting brackets are 24ΒΌ appart.

    Although quite expensive, the Torklift Glowstep Revolution probably has a step that will fit. This is a very high quality item and the price reflects it. Several of our members have them and have posted about them.

    On the link I provided, scroll down near the bottom where the dimensions are given. There seem to be two standard rough openings - 27.5 and 25.5 inches for the steps. I suspect that the 25.5 rough opening is for the narrower steps you are talking about.

    The part number shown for the one I think will fit your trailer is A8103. Here it is at Etrailer.com.

    Hope this helps you out a bit.

    While I am sure these are a quality item they are a bit out of my price range. :)

    Thank you for the link though!

    Is the opening wide enough to hod a 24" wise step? How are the side brackets attached to the frame/floor?


    I'll have to crawl under the trailer and look. I know when I purchased a set of steps I just held them up to the trailer and realized they were too wide.

    Maybe the step frame can be swapped to allow 24 in steps. Didn't consider this an option, but will have to check the camper to see if it is even possible.
  • Looking at the price of these,, think I will keep what I have. Thanks anyway.

  • Been a while since I originally posted this question. Any new options out there?

    Really would like a 22 inch wide triple step to replace my double step.

    Thanks in advance!
  • good luck with that,, right after we bought our trailer, I wanted to do the same thing,, never did find a 3 step that was narrow enough to fit where the 2 step is. Will keep an eye on this post and see if anyone comes up with one.
