Steps

I thought about doing that... But, after using the pull out 3 step system my rig has, I kinda like the way it is now..

I see every new rig out there with those new one piece ones that you fold up into the door and pull out once you open the door.

They have those little 'feet' on the ends to adjust for different terrain and levels. I guess if my rig had come with it, I'd just go with it, but seems like a lot of work to remove the folding steps with that one piece one??

Anyway, do what works best for ya.. Like I said, I thought about it initially, but not gonna change it now.

I think those 1 piece steps are a bad idea. Consider changing to Torxlift Glowsteps. Glowsteps are a much better solution.

We did when I installed 6 point levelers, had to remove the steps to install the center jack. I installed the Mor-Ryde steps. Didn't know why we hadn't done it sooner, so much sturdier and feels better when going in and out.

On one of our prior units, I had to pull the steps off...it's 4 bolts. (the old style that fold under the door on the outside)

Also the new style that folds into the door, doesn't even need the old steps removed as they screw down into the sill.

I suggest the OP google a couple installation videos. You need the right model but otherwise, it seems pretty straight forward to install.

As someone else mentioned, much more stable, particularly if it's 4 steps. It eliminates the diving board effect.

Plus 2 on the Tork Lift Glowsteps. Have had them on my TT TH for several years. The adjustability is really nice, side to side, and height. I did the install myself, and only took all day. (Your time and success may vary)

If I were to do an upgrade it would definitely be to the glowsteps, the stable steps definitely have some serious drawbacks. Happily ever Hanks covered this just the other day on their YouTube channel.

Thanks for pointing out The HappilyEverHanks. Quite an entertaining couple.

The TorkLift Glowstep A8004 and Stromberg AC-544 handrail is on my upgrade list. DW bad knees is making it difficult for her to climb up the 3 step OEM fold outs we currently have.

I took a look at those Glowsteps. The issue with my trailer is that it has pre-set studs for the steps to go on and the placement does not match any other steps ive looked at. In fact, the steps that are on the unit have had additional tabs welded on to them to match the existing studs. Moving the studs isn't an option as i dont want to tear up the floor.
Note: trailer is a 2007 R Vision 7200 ultra light ( double step currently installed but sits low enough that a single would work)
So I guess my options are to buy new steps and have tabs welded to them but I definitely dont want to do that as the studs are less than 100% or install the folding steps. I thought this option would be easier so long as there isnt a clearance issue with the door.

It my understanding that the Glow Steps can mount above the or below the entry door

Correct, they have models that replace traditional 2 or 3 step box entry stairs or models that install above the threshold like stable steps.
