Replacement Steps

[flyfishing48]

Our Silverback is just 10 days past the extended warrentry and the brace of the steps breaks. It broke just above the weld. But warranty or not I don't want to fix these steps.
We never liked them. They sagged way more than our previous campers did. This was from day one. So we are looking for a replacement. Something with a different design.

Looking at what Camping World has online their steps until appear to be made differently and will bolt right up to our Silverback. They come in both a 3 step and 4 step version. But wondering what else is available out there. Would like to here for others who have been down this road before.

Our OEM steps are a 3 step unit with 9 1/2 inch risers. Thinking the 4 step unit with a 8 inch riser might be nice.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Shoot, for the price they ought to come out and put them on for you. 🙂

GloStep is the best in my opinion.

The 4 step unit was even springier than my old 3 step unit because it extends farther out from the trailer unsupported. I like my GlowSteps very stable.

I had the bottom step fail this fall with our 2011 Silverback. Since I live about an hour from Elkhart, Indiana, I went to the Flexco factory and bought a 4 step assembly for $189.00 to replace the original 3 step assembly. Shipping would have been another $70.00. It weighs about 90 lbs. I cant mount it till I get the 5th wheel out of storage in the spring

They come much closer to the ground. We had to use a portable step with our OEM 3 steps, but no longer necessary with the Quadra Step. We still have a 3 step at the rear of our toyhauler and the difference between the 2 is tremendous. According to the prints the overall height difference would be a bit over 7". That seems about right.

Our OEM 3 step was also mounted closer to the door sill, so we mounted the new steps down a little which evened out the steps and put the bottom step even closer to the ground.

Do the four step versions actually come down lower to the ground, or are they the same as the three step height?

I'm also interested, I've never seen Stainless steel steps. I didn't even know they made them.

I raised our TT so we needed new steps.
Found some good ones on E-Bay. Love them.

Check out the Torklift Glowstep Revolution. They bolt in the existing mount, extremely solid with braces that stabilize the steps. You can also option them put with a better hand rail, pet safe step backers even a boot cleaner. We put a set on last year and love them. There is a thread currently running on them or type Glowstep Revolution in the search box for lots of reading.

X2 on the GlowStep Revolution. Love mine.

I ordered a four step model from ETrailer.com, and replaced them in about 45 minutes. All the bolt holes lined up. It's made out of steel, and weighs about 70 lbs, but it's a lot easier going up and down on 4 steps as opposed to 3.

Torklift Glowstep Revolution for us. We had the diving board effect with the old steps but now these new ones are very, very steady and my wife loves them. A bit more to extend them and retract them but well worth it. We have the 4 step for our 5er. I changed them out myself. Check out their web site or call them.

I put the Quadra Step on our toyhauler because of the tall first step. Easy bolt-on installation and work like a champ. Peggy didn't think they would be much different, but the first time she went up them she admitted she wouldn't go back to a 3-step.

X2 on the GlowSteps. I took mine off my last trailer and put them on my new one. Very nice and great customer service! They aren't cheap but they are very safe and stable. Well made and well engineered.
