Moreride step above

I am looking at installing the more ride step above steps but no where can I find out how long they are......when held level with the camper floor how long are they? I need to know so before I spend the money I need to know if they will clear the wall of my enclosed rv port when I deploy them .....

    The more I think about this, I think the distance that is important is the full length when 90 degrees from the trailer, i.e. the swing clearance.

    After they are deployed, the distance the steps extend will be less than the swing clearance required when bringing them in or out.

    It is a shame that MORryde doesn’t have those numbers available on their web site because that is a fixed number that doesn’t change with the individual rig mounting.

    This is exactly what I am trying to determine.....

    Well, we have a display model in the store. I'll be there tomorrow. I'll measure the step height and the 90° distance and we can make a guess as to the ratio of step height to swing distance. I think it's a 2 stepper.

    My earlier post shows that the 3 step unit is 38” for a 32” height.
  • I measured my 4 step Mor-ryde system at 90 degrees to the outside camper wall. It is 51" minimum to deploy. By measuring to third step it looks to be 38" and the second would be 25". I hope this helps.
