just installed them on our 5er. DW is VERY happy camper.
How difficult was the installation?
Not difficult at all on our 2008 Montana 3485SA. Only issue was the bolts for the locking lever. The bolts for that locking bar have the heads on the inside of the step and the nuts and rest of the bolt on the outside. Had to remove the bolts, secure the GlowStep in place, then drill holes in the trailer bracket.
Had I not had the truck connected to the trailer I considered replacing the stock bolts with a couple pan head allen head or other flat, low rise bolts with the heads on the outside. That would allow the GlowStep slide into the bracket.
I did the installation without help and found that a motorcycle lift similar to a floor jack and a couple 8X8 wood blocks allowed me to raise the steps into the trailer bracket with ease. Shipping weight of the steps is 63 pounds.
