Will Brophy Camper Scissor Steps Work for You?
Scissor steps are typically installed on truck campers, but can be attached to your truck's tailgate using a special mounting bracket (TSSB - sold separately). After the initial installation, they're easy to attach when needed and detach for compact storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Brophy scissor steps have a single mounting bracket that attaches to either the camper wall or the truck bumper beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available for the mounting bracket on your application that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and height. You will need a mounting space at least 18-1/4" wide and 1" tall.
If it turns out you have more space beneath your doorway, there are larger step assemblies available with 24" wide brackets. A full list of the available steps is below.
Once you have an approximation of where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, the spot you chose will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To decide on 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 also tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays entry height measurement ranges in the first column. If you determined you need an 18-1/4" mounting bracket, the step part numbers with that width are in the second column. If you determined you need a 24" mounting bracket width, 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.
This page's step assembly is in bold text.
| Entry Height | 18-1/4" Mounting Bracket Width | 24" Mounting Bracket Width |
|---|---|---|
| 18" - 23" | AS02, SS02 | Not available |
| 24" - 30" | AS03, SS03 | AS23 |
| 31" - 40" | AS04, SS04 | AS24 |
| 40" - 48" | AS05 | AS25 |
How Do You Install the Steps?
To install the steps:
- Find the mounting spot for the bracket on your vehicle
- Unfold the steps and attach to the mounting bracket "V" clamps
- Place step assembly against camper or bumper
-Make sure assembly is centered beneath the doorway
- Mark the mounting holes on the camper and drill
- Remove steps from bracket and set aside
- Attach the mounting bracket to the camper
-Secure in place with included lag screws
- Hook stairs into mounting bracket "V" clamps and extend

Here’s my review of the removable folding steps I’m bought installed on my old truck.
Now I’m an older person that really likes to go camping/fishing at 1-2 weeks at a time, needed some easier way to get me in my camper that’s over 30 inches from the ground that is stable and safe.
These folding stairs worked out great for me and are easy enough to remove and store when not used.
This unit came with all hard ware needed to install, and directions on how to do the job at task.
Very well-built unit, very strong too. My chose to leave my tailgate on my truck worked out great for me.
Very happy with the fast shipping and quality of this unit and would remind to others as well.
A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for…! They get this old man in and out of my camper safely and stable to. Hope this helps others…!
by: Rebecca 09/28/2023
I have had these stairs a year, use them everyday in my tiny home. They are everything I could have hoped for, sturdy and reliable, even held up through the Colorado winter with so much snow! Thanks for making such a great product!
by: Jason11/28/2023
Super easy to instal. Great quality. Work just like described. Dogs had trouble getting in and out of the camper, but go up and down no problem now. Much safer for humans and pets to get in and out.
by: Mark01/26/2019
Absolutely perfect. I recently purchased a Freightliner M2 tanker. Unfortunately it was too steep for my dog climb into. The scissor steps made it so much easier for the both of us. I'm sure they weren't designed specifically for dogs but they definitely work. The mount was easy to install and the steps are sturdy, easy to set up and detach. I highly recommend this product

This is my second set of steps worked great in the past know they will do the job in the future.great service and price from trailer !
by: Steve B06/09/2018
I ordered this item and received it in just a couple days, fast and as described! Installed it to my Grumman Step Van Custom RV in about 20 minutes! Also purchased an aluminum railing that was easy to install as well! Great stairs and railing!
by: Beth H06/16/2014
I have attached the step photos as you requested. We are happy with the quick service and quality of the product. Our only concern is the large open area from the top step to the trailer, you have to be careful and wee ones with short strides cannot use it alone.
by: Percy Jackson05/20/2019
The scisser steps I recieved work absulutley awsome. Only took 4 days from Missouri USA to Nova Scotia Canada.As advertised easy to install.Noah, my service provider was fanastic on all details and never missed a beat. Three thumbs up.

by: Clarence09/13/2022
These steps were just what I needed for my truck camper. Strong and felt secure. Easy to install and easy to deploy for use. Also easy to fold up and put away when not needed. The user must be physically able to handle the steps for installation and to remove when you are finished. My distance for the length may have been just in the middle of the two sizes so I added an adjustment to the bottom to allow me to raise or lower the bottom step by and couple of inches because of uneven terrain. This simple adjustment allows to make the steps level. The diamond plate for the step is slippery when wet. with the wrong type of footwear it is also slippery. I added a stick on surface and now no more slipping. I don't think I can find a better product for my truck camper.
by: David10/21/2019
Well built steps. I spent 5 minutes installing and they work great so far. It's so much better than using a step ladder! I highly recommend.
by: David 11/08/2023
Pleased with the price and the delivery.

Super Sturdy steps that work perfectly on our Shadow Cruiser Slide in Truck Camper on our Chevy Colorado. This are heavy duty steps, well built and rugged. I would highly recommend these if you are in need of steps.

These steps are extremely well made, the only modification we did was to apply an anti-slip spray to make them safer. They remain in perfect condition after lots of camping trips.
by: Cheryl 09/09/2023
These stairs are excellent quality. They’re heavy duty and very convenient. Easy to install and remove. Highly recommend.
by: John B.07/27/2016
This was a great deal as the price included shipping. The steps were shipped promptly and were actually higher quality than I had expected. Very sturdy, just the right height for my new camper and easily installed. I did replace the screws that came with it for quarter inch bolts that bolted through my bumper step. Thanks for a great product and great service.

Works like a charm on my pop up camper. Perfect height and folds up to nothing. Love it. Took about half an hour to install.

The steps are very study and worth the money spent
by: Brad C.04/20/2019
These portable stairs were exactly what we needed with my slide in truck camper. In a years worth of use, there has never been a problem, the build quality is impressive. I have total confidence these stairs will outlast my truck and camper. They were easy to install, 1 plate/bracket. They are a breeze to take on and off. I just fold, stow and go.
by: Terry W,10/24/2017
I like it alot, it was easy to install and it hold me weight just fine. @ 285lbs.
by: Robert12/21/2017
These are solid basic steps. I had repaired my fold under steps several times until finally deciding to remove them. The RV is long and the steps would hit the pavement on odd road to driveway transitions. These folding steps fit the bill since I remove and stow them. There are fancier products out there but those are just fine for entry to the garage on my toyhauler. The price is right!
by: Paula05/03/2022
Thank you etrailer for carrying these excellent steps! The scissor step design has made it possible to safely access my truck camper & they're lightweight so I can easily attach them.

- Would the Scissor Steps # SS03 fit a 2012 Nissan NV 2500If you would be willing to attach the mounting bracket of the # SS03 somewhere 24-30 inches off of the ground the Scissor Steps # SS03 would fit and work well. These are a fairly universal fit step system that should work just fine as long as you install the mounting bracket.

The mounting bracket can be attached to any flat surface that can support the weight of the steps and a person on them, so as long as you have the space available there is no particular reason that you couldn't mount it to your Tacoma to allow for easier access to the camper. We have had customers attach the bracket to the bottom...

view full answer... - Are the Brophy Scissor Steps # SS03 Easily RemovedYou are correct. The Scissor Steps # SS03 that you referenced could easily be removed from the mounting bracket that gets attached to the RV or wherever you mount it. Basically you install the mounting bracket and then hook the stairs on the hook and then when you want to remove them you lift them off the hook.

I have added a photo from a customer who has these steps installed as well as a link to a video review.

view full answer... - Can Brophy Steel Scissor Steps RustThe Brophy scissor steps # SS03 are steel with a black powder coat. Steel can rust if it is exposed to the elements. Eventually the powder coat can get chips or scratches in it exposing the steel and then it can start to rust. If you notice scratches or chips you can spray paint over them to help prevent corrosion. Another option is to go with the aluminum version, # AS03. Aluminum is naturally corrosion resistant and will not rust like steel. I have linked a video review of the aluminum...

Unlevel ground will obviously change this and may make this step even more user friendly.

Please note that the aluminum version has a weight capacity of 250 lbs as opposed to the 300 lbs of capacity that the steel version has. If you would like to add some more stability to these steps then the handrail # AHR3 can be used. The manufacturer specifically states that these steps should not be mounted permanently. You really should remove them before you start traveling.
view full answer... - Stairs for Getting in and out of a Truck Bed Camper in a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500On the Brophy scissor steps # SS03, they measure just 5-1/2 inches from the mounting surface to the nearest vertical support for the first step so it would not work for you. But you might like hitch step # HE4045 if your truck has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. You would use the tailgate as one step then this step as the second step down. Another option is the Truck-Pal, # 10-3000. This ladder installs on the tailgate and folds out when needed. I have linked some videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - Do the Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # SS03 Self-AdjustThe Brophy Camper Scissor Steps # SS03 do have a little bit of adjustability. They have an expanded height range of 24" - 30" and self-adjust to the terrain. You can add a handrail # AHR3 for a little more stability.

They use a mounting bracket with a "V" clamp to secure the steps. The steps will expand from 24" - 30" high. The bracket allows the steps to be mounted when the vehicle is stationary and require removal prior to travel. You may be interested in the Aluminum Hand Rail for 3 Step Scissor Stair # AHR3 which secures to the steps and gives you that extra stability.

They do not attach to the vehicle so you can use them with your Dutchman RV. They can fold up for storage by removing the braces that normally hold the stairs upright. For steps that attach to the RV you could use Scissor Steps # SS03. It comes with a bracket that attaches to the RV and the steps attach to that for easy on/off operation.
