Specs:
TorkLift's GlowStep Revolution RV steps offer the ultimate in stability and adjustability. You can adjust the stairs' height to account for any type of terrain using the easy-to-use release lever. The built-in landing gear legs let you fine-tune the height. And they can be adjusted independently of one another to stabilize the steps on uneven terrain, eliminating any wobble.
Will Torklift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps Work for You?
Pull-out steps are typically installed on travel trailers. The GlowStep Revolution pull-out steps from Torklift are easy to install and fold up underneath the camper for simple storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The GlowStep Revolution pull-out scissor steps attach to the underside of the camper chassis, directly beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available underneath your camper that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and depth. You will need a mounting space that is at least 27-1/2" wide and 13-7/8" deep.
If it turns out you have less space beneath your doorway, there are smaller step assemblies available with 25-1/2" wide brackets. A full list of the available steps is below.
Outriggers - metal brackets that act as an extension (LC301704 - sold separately) - may be needed for installation depending on the model of your original stairs. These provide extra length if the old steps are longer or wider than the new.
Once you know where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, that spot will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To determine how many steps you'll need, measure from the mounting point to the ground. This is called the entry height. The entry height should roughly match the height of the steps when they're fully extended, and it will tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays entry height measurement ranges in the first column. If you determined you need a 25-1/2" mounting bracket, the step part numbers with that width are in the second column. If you determined you need a 27-1/2" mounting bracket, the step part numbers with that width are in the third column. Choose the bracket size that is closest to your measurements without going over.

Entry Height | 25-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width | 27-1/2" Mounting Bracket Width |
---|---|---|
18-1/2" - 28" | TLA8102 | TLA8002 |
25-1/2" - 36" | TLA8103 | TLA8003 |
32-1/2" - 44" | TLA8104 | TLA8004 |
39-1/2" - 52" | TLA8105 | TLA8005 |
46-1/2" - 60" | TLA8106 | TLA8006 |
How Do You Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
-Fully extend steps until feet touch the ground
-Set aside steps before drilling
-Make sure the bracket is backed up fully against the I-beam on the chassis
-Hardware not included
GlowStep Accessories
Add any of these accessories to your Revolution scissor steps for stability, eliminating gaps, and keeping your steps and RV interior clean. The GlowGuide handrail (TLA7621 - sold separately) attaches to the outside of your RV and a bracket on the bottom of the steps. This helps to steady the assembly and adds 25 lbs to the weight capacity of the stairs. The SafeStep vinyl barrier (TLA7602 - sold separately) easily fastens with Velcro strips in between any 2 steps. This prevents you or your pets from accidentally slipping between steps. The DirtDestroyer boot brush (TLA7603 - sold separately) affixes to the bottom of the steps so you can scrape your shoes before climbing into your RV.

8" Deep x 22" wide aluminum RV steps have an easy-to-use lever that lets you change between 3 height settings for proper elevation. Fine-tune height and level stairs with built-in landing gear legs. Glow tape creates a lighted step surface. Our rig is a 2015 Lifestyle LS39FB 5th wheel and was factory equipped with the typical fold down steel steps. The issue with the stock steps is that the bottom step was rather high off the ground after I raised the coach in order to gain more clearance between the underside of the nose and the truck bed; my wife had a hard time getting in and out of the coach.
I researched these steps for quite some time before purchase and came to the conclusion that they were the best solution. The stock steps were attached via four vertical studs, so I also purchased the vertical stud adapter bracket, part number TLA8022.
I completed the installation just today and was very pleased to find that they were a "near bolt-on" installation. The only obstacle was that the entry light mounted on the back wall of the stair pocket was too high for the new steps and had to be moved downward about 3/8". Fortunately, the hole for the wiring was oversized so all I had to do was remove the screws from the light fixture, move the fixture down, and put the screws back in
Both my wife and I very pleased with the steps. The bottom step is much closer to the ground and the separately adjustable landing gear is great, especially since the place we park the coach at home is not level.
We did find it necessary to adjust the bolts on the scissors to make it easier to fold the steps back up - this topic is well covered in the owners manual.
Finally, these steps are very well engineered, very well made, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Great product light weight and installed in factory step well on Montana 5th wheel with no modifications needed.
I bought these steps because I needed something sturdy and stable, but I wanted them to stay outside. I've had the ones that fold into the doorway, and they are stable, but they bring dirt into the camper, can damage the doorway and are not usable in tight locations.
So, one year later and we still love the steps! They were simple to install. Maybe not "easy" but I had someone helping me that, also, was not familiar with doing things like this. It took us about 2 hours. If I had a jack or something that could lift the stairs, that would have helped. The "glow" part is a luminescient square of material on either side of each stair, and it glows bright for several hours after sunset. I thought it would be "cheesy," not work well and expected it to peel off by now. But it really performs well.
The stairs are well-made and strong. They flex a little bit, but are very stable. I can extend them fully for a longer run, or move them in if I need to. They really adapt to the situation. I like how they lock up under the camper. It takes a little practice to get the hang of extending and stowing the steps. But it takes up no extra space in the camper and brings no dirt inside. It was a good purchase. No regrets.
We purchased the steps for our 5th wheel last year as the steps that came with the RV were not stable enough. My wife has knee problems and is "short" so we needed better steps. These steps are perfect for stability, but also the steps are much closer together in height. We can adjust them to the proper height usage according to the level of the campsite!
Love these steps.
Installed the steps and found that I needed the adapter plate for a top mounted bolt pattern. I did not want to wait to have them ordered and shipped so I made some out of angle Iron I had at home. 2' angle cut and drilled with no problem and they worked fine. I found that the install was a little more work than I thought likely due to my home made brackets. Once installed they took a minute to figure out the various levels and how they affected the angle of the stairs.
These steps appear to be very well made out of quality material, very heavy duty aluminum steps and scissor mechanism. Lower legs are strong and well built. A little difficult to push adjusting button in but very sturdy when in contact with the ground.
These steps take all of the bounce out of the up and down trips out of the fifthwheel. Much better Than the aluminum aftermarket steps I was replacing.
Only thing that surprised me was the amount of pressure required to collapse the steps back into the closed position. This may get easier as they are used more and lubed. Much more stable that OEM steps and they do not get folded up into the interior of the fifthwheel with dirt and water like with the solid step system.
much easier to climb than original stai rs
Purchased the 5 step Glowstep Revolution. Received it very quickly. Installation instructions were for either one or two people, I did it alone. Instructions and actual installation was very straight forward. Purchased this product to increase the stability of the steps getting in and out of our fifth wheel. The A8005 did just that. Would recommend this product and e-trailer to anyone
Product was as expected and installation wasn’t too difficult with two people doing it. I think it would have been very difficult for only one person. The steps are much easier to go up and down as they have a shorter rise than normal camper steps. I’m anxious to use them on a camping trip!
I chose to give this purchase 4 stars. The pricing for the product was the best that I could find. The product was delivered to Wisconsin in only two days from the time of ordering , which I found extremely prompt. However, my one complaint,(which I have seen in other reviews), is that the packaging from the manufacturer, is extremely flimsy and weak. The tape holding the packaged product had come almost completely off of the package. Very fortunately, the product, ( which I must admit is very strong and sturdy), was not damaged. I would think that etrailer, knowing that this is a constant problem, would take the time to re-package the product so as not to have this continuing situation.
Lightweight, looks good and solid feeli ng
We have a unique situation with our truck camper sitting on a flatbed, rather than in a standard truck bed. We sit quite a bit higher and needed the 6 step Glowsteps. Because we are so high, we could have used a 7th step but that was not an option at the time. We added extra long legs, a foot stool and an extra long handle bar to aid in getting in the rig. We also added some carpet strips to help with tracking dirt into the camper The steps have been great! There are multiple options for leveling the top step, the steps have some flex to them but we feel safe on them. We are able to get them in and out of the locked position easily. They were a great solve to our problem.
I can't believe how fast the delivery was... only 2 days... had them installed in about an hour by myself... instructions were very good and plenty of supplied hardware.... Thank you so much !!! I has supplied photos of the completed work... please note that the Roo is sitting in my sloping driveway with the hitch all the way to the ground and the rear is as high as it would EVER be... so these are the perfect fit. I also want to thank Dave Osterstuck at Anglin RV in Otto NC who had these steps on display. Dave had to have me go direct to Torklift in order to purchase this product. It is a shame that the rep put these on display in his store but he is not able to reach the rep or order from the rep catalog so he gets nothing from Torklift for carrying the display. Kudos to Dave at Anglin RV
We are a retired full time RV couple with 2 dogs. We have disliked our OEM steps for @ 4 years, finally made the decision to upgrade to the Torklift. Both of us have fallen a couple of times off the OEM steps. We have a 2020 Grand Design 303 RLS, we used part A8004. Fit of the Torklift steps is perfect. I ordered the steps on a Friday, go them on a Tuesday. The box looked a little rough on the outside, everything on the inside was fine. The install took about an hour. The old steps came off easy, I ended up using 14 mm sockets and wrenches for both removal and install. I watched a few videos on YouTube and read the info from the Torklift website. The supplied hardware was great. My wife helped me, so we did the two person recommendation of the manual of extending the steps to the ground. I think that was easy and quicker than removing the torklift steps from their mount. We played around with the adjustments to find a setup for our current campsite. We move anywhere from 3x/week to monthly, so ease of use is very important. My wife really likes having 4 steps over 3, and I think it will be easier for my dogs as they age. The dogs adapted quickly to the new stairs. The Torklift steps are far more stable then the OEM they replaced, even with the aftermarket stabilizer legs we installed from Lippert. I wish we had done this sooner. This was an easy upgrade that we use all the time. I do like that that quick instructions are on the front of the step so if you need some "coaching" its right there for operating the steps.
I love these new steps! They are very stable, and they're easy to use in a variety of situations, just as described in the ads and videos. They are well made of excellent quality materials. And the design that allows for variation in the distance from the door sill to the ground and for use in tight spaces is genius. Thanks for a great product that meets my needs.
In a separate review of the Spacer Kits I used to install my Glow-Step Revolution I detail a minor bump in the installation process that can be easily rectified, but that in no way detracts from my satisfaction with the steps themselves.
These steps are the best addition ever to our 5th wheel (except for the Truma tankless water heater). A snap to use, and a solid grounding.
Rock Solid!!! Worth every penny.
Replaced my trailer's original springboard steps that were flexing more and more. At first, I was concerned about fit. Reached out with measurements and received an A8004 recommendation for my 2010 Montana Mountaineer. Once installed I discovered I had more ground clearance than I had with the OEM steps. Not sure if it can be seen in the front on picture, the trailer frame lower than the bottom step in its stowed position. The adjustable top step is an absolute great invention.
Had to disassemble some of the sidings to the left and right of the step mounting brackets to get at the OEM mounting bolts. Space between factory brackets expanded almost 0.5 inches once OEM steps were removed. Had to stop and get spacers. Mounted the A8004 steps with spacers on each side. My wife assisted with aligning and balancing the new steps while I bolted them in. Ignoring the other prep work that had to be done, it took me about 1 hour to actually unbolt and remove the OEM steps and bolt in the new steps.
Took longer to remove old steps than to install scissor steps. One man job with screw jack and scrap 2X4s. Much easier to enter and exit trailer now. Wife is very happy for the upgrade!
We are extremely pleased with the Torklift Glowstep Revolution (TLA8004). It is solidly built, easy to install, easy to operate, and a suitable price!
We are also extremely pleased with etrailer's customer service! Upon receipt of the new steps, we immediately noticed that one of the landing feet and one of the guide pins were bent. The shipping box did not show the type of damage that could have caused the problem.
I emailed etrailer, and within 24 hours they had gotten back to me and the replacement parts would be shipped shortly. This was all during the height of the COVID-19 virus shutdowns. About 7 days later the parts arrived and within 15 minutes I had the damaged parts replaced.
I am grateful for both etrailer and Torklift customer service. Both are exceptional!
The entire step purchase was Great ! Order arrived quickly and was packaged very well. The installation was on our lance 2285 and couldn’t have been any easier. After removing the old the install took 5 minutes. No drilling or modification needed , 4 bolts lined up perfectly. Quality of the steps was second to none. We originally purchased a step that lifted into doorway , halfway through the install realized entry screen door needed modifying , didn’t like that idea. Also did not care for steps folding into camper. Returned to vendor and purchased the Tork Lift Revolution from etrailer and couldn’t be happier with new steps.
Great product! Easy to install and very sturdy on my Grand Design Reflection travel trailer! I am including before & after photos, and one including added step covers and extended handrail replacement.
I bought the Glowstep revolution four step with landing gear.. I could not be more satisfied... took about 1hour to install by myself with the help of a floor jack, that includes removing the old steps..!! Delivery from etrailer.com was fast and free shipping.. great company to deal with.. I have included a couple of pictures of my new steps.. we love them..
Bought a new Lance RV, Model 1995. The steps were horrible. Installed the Glowstep Revolution steps and it made a world of difference. I installed them myself in under an hour following the instructions and using a small jack to hold the frame up while I bolted the steps to my RV. Had to use the two enclosed spacers but the installation was a cinch. Couldn't be happier with the steps and with the assistance from etrailer which is a great company with terrific support.
Excellent set of stairs! I am very pleased. It required some creativity to install them on my 2014 Airstream but they look and work great! I highly recommend them.
I installed the steps on a 2019 Grand Design Reflection 311BHS. I was very pleased how easy it was to remove the old steps and install these new steps. I used the one person method described in the owners manual that came with the steps. Very easy. Being set on the ground will make these steps more stable, then the factory installed steps. I was also very impressed with etrailer. The steps were shipped the same day that I placed the order. I received them in a short period of time. I have always been impressed with ordering things from etrailer.

Still liking them after a year of use. We did have one mishap that damaged the landing gear on the steps. We were on a dirt road rife with stutter-bumps washboard and the retaining pin vibrated out of the latch. That allowed the latch to move upward and the steps fell to the ground while in motion I had to replace the landing gear and straighten out a couple of the aluminum scissors. Considering that the steps were dragged for close to a quarter mile and that was he only damage is testament to quality construction of the steps. To prevent the problem from happening again, we installed a hitch pin with integral safety wire in the second pin hole on the latch, so now we have two pins locking the steps in the stowed position.
