New entry ladder

Not everyone needs or wants a bumper. I'm glad mine doesn't have one, it would just add weight in a bad place and I'd have to use a longer drawbar extension.

How come there is no bumper on your camper? A bumper with a step then maybe a small portable step would be much safer

Exactly what I have used this summer. Wife's ankles are too tricky for scissors. I did some drilling so I can use a hand rail with it. Very stable if a bit heavy.

Yeah, those Giant steps are very solid and will work even a little off camber without tipping over on you. I have the 3 step version thinking that the first step out of the camper would be down on to the top step. It works but I wish I'd have bought the 4 step ladder so the 1st step out of the camper was level and not down. The only downside is that I haven't figured out how to transport it yet. The back seat of the truck isn't practical, the front cargo basket has other stuff. I guess it will have to go on the floor in the TC, but I'm concerned it will tear up the flooring or bang around on the cabinets. Either way, as much as I'm tempted to try the Torklift steps (I love all their other products) I think the step ladder is the best fit for me. I am either towing something or hauling a bike rack.

...and much safer than any of the plastic fold up steps and stools I have used too.

I'm in the same dilemma. I always have a trailer when I go places with the truck and camper, and any of the steps that attach to the camper are totally useless for me because there's a trailer in the way.

If you always go to the same campground you probably know that you can find a level spot for that step ladder. We find a lot of campgrounds where you couldn't find a spot for that ladder to sit safely. It looks like a falling accident ready to happen.

Not quite 36 inches to the top step. The camper sits higher than the pic when it is on the truck. Should work perfect...

I'm about ready to get one, I was thinking the 3 step though, what is the height of the top step on that one?
