Step Stabilizers

We used to have a pair of Camco step stabilizers, which we sold with our ViewFinder.

In looking to order new ones, I found these CP Products stabilizers which have a locking pin/quick release in the middle. (No weight rating listed).

Has anyone tried the CPProducts one or have any thoughts on how useful (or not) a center pin is or would be?

  • If you want a good solution for stabilizing entry stairs, look at the Torklift GlowStep. One problem with these though is that stairs can be welded in place so it's not an easy re & re. I think a set of these is around $500...

  • I have one of each. Two seemed to do the trick better after a rivet was lost in the scissor mechanism of our Kwikee Triple Steps. Both are adjustable with the screw top after getting a rough adjustment with the pins. Each one has a different pin mechanism. The Camco has a spring loaded push pin on for the holes on two sides. The other has a removable pin on a lanyard that goes through both holes.

    The top is bowl instead of being flat, which seems odd.

    The pin thing looks like a quick-release with no setting(s) for height adjustment?


    I missed the threaded portion.......

    Pin allows for one height adjustment and the top platform screws up.down for final adjustment. 5 1/4" to 12"

    Camco just 4 5/8" to 7 3/4" (Larger size available 8" to 14")

    Looks like a toss up :B
  • It looks pretty much like the ones that I bought at Camping World, Completely adjustable, there are holes in the center part and the shaft is adjustable with use of the threaded section. Mine work very well, be aware that you will need two of them for the best results

  • I prefer the Camco because they are adjusted by screwing top plate up down.

    The CP Product (haven't used) has 'fixed' adjustments. OK it ground is same distance at each site :B
