Anyone use ' "Solid Step" stairs? for Truck Camper

Looking for a better solution for stairs, hate the scissors. Has anyone tried Lippert Components "Solid Step" stairs? They have one that's 20" which might fit, but it only has 4 steps and I probably need 5 or 4 with a block step under the bottom. All the applications I've seen were in trailers which are not tall. My door is at least 40 inches off the ground and put to 50 depending on the ground
  • Hey thanks for the reply. I have used a ladder, but it doesn't work well on uneven ground, where I often camp. I own a Little Giant, but didn't know about this one. I heard from the MORryder guy and I hope to convince them TruckCamper folks need something like this.
  • My buddy was over the other day talking about the same thing. What we did over a few afternoon cocktails that day was google “camper steps” and then clicked on “Photos” and tons of different pictures showed up that you can scroll through and get an idea of what to you can do. He chose one that slide in his receiver hitch that folds up....
    Try that,,, see what shows up.
    Soup.
  • Did you use the latest glow steps stow n'go bracket?
    That made night a day when comes to using them. I made a thread about the upgrade and still have more mods to add to it at later time.
  • I have no experience with those steps but like you said, not sure they are meant for a door that high off the ground.

    My current camper has a nice built in step but on my last one I didn't like the scissor steps either so I used a Little giant safety steps. It's like a portable staircase. I'm thinking you'd probably want the 4 step model.
