Will Lippert SolidSteps Work for You?
Fold-down steps are typically installed on travel trailers and some RVs. The fold-down steps from Lippert lift up to latch into your camper's doorway for storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Lippert SolidSteps install inside your camper's doorframe. Measuring for this may seem tricky, but once you know what to look for, figuring out the right fit for your RV doorway is easy.
Measure between the door frame flanges - the doorway width - and round up to the nearest even number to determine the step size that will fit into your camper's doorway. You will need a doorway that is at least 24" wide for these steps to work.
If it turns out you have a wider or narrower doorway, there are other step assemblies that fit doorways ranging from 24" wide to 36" wide. A full list of the available steps is below.
To make sure your doors will close when the steps are installed, measure from the top of the threshold plate to the bottom of the door. You will need a gap of about 1/4" to 3/8" to allow the door to close over the step's mounting plate.
The doorway threshold 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 tell you how many steps you need.
Once you know your doorway width and entry heigh measurements, the chart below will tell you which part number you need. This page's step assembly is in bold text.

Aluminum fold-down steps with 13" deep top step attach to the threshold of your RV. Designed to fit in doorways 24" wide. Industry standard 8" drop/rise between steps. Adjustable legs keep steps level and reduce bounce.Excellent product, very bad info for measuring. DO NOT MEASURE BETWEEN THE FLANGES!!! My camper measures 24 between the flanges, but the latch mechanism is only 23 1/4 across. I called the manufacturer and they said to measure the widest part of the opening. Also be prepared to cut your door sill plate. I have a 2007 Mega Lite toy hauler by Extreme. After lots of mods the sill is waterproofed and they are super strong and solid. But what a bunch of crap. I could have saved over 100 bucks by ordering the next size up and would have been an easier instal. Lippert said to send them back but by the time i got to that part of the install i had already trimmed my sill plate. So not going to remove and send back.
Buying the Lippert SolidStep for myself was one of the best purchases I have made! That AND the collapsable DC teapot.No longer is going up and down the steps like a walk through a fun house at the fair. I feel much safer and more secure with the solid steps and the Camco Fold-Away RV Grab Handle.

This remains the best addition to our RV arsenal! Safe, steady and easy to adjust.
PERFECT FIT AS ALWAYS.
I thought long and hard about this before I posted it. I really hope this is not etrailer's normal way of doing business. First off this was ordered with expedited shipping paid for and these were in stock. After the time passed that we should have received our steps I called. To be told that these were on the top shelf in the warehouse and you only had one person that could get them down to ship them. After 4 more calls with ship dates passing I was finally able to get them shipped out. Two weeks late. Then they finally arrive last week and low and behold they are missing parts. I have made three calls as of now about this and still do not have a answer on the parts we are missing. These are $600 steps and as of right now they are no use to us because the back plate and all hardware are missing. As of last Saturday I was told I would get a e-mail on the parts shipping to us. As of today still no e-mail and no call back. I have left messages with no call back. At this very minute I am on hold to speak to a manager and have been on hold for over 15 minutes. Still no steps that work and no date on when we might have anything that we can install. This has become a nightmare. And as of right now we are our almost $650 for a set of solid steps we can't use. I have even offered to buy my own hardware if they will just get me the plate. At this point I have no idea what else to do.
Excellent product shipping was slow but expected in the current climate. Super easy to setup and install. Took longer to get the factory steps off than to install this product. Super sturdy and easy to adjust for height. Would recommend Solid Step and Etrailer.com to anyone with an older camper or trailer.
The steps are awesome! I've been thinking about these for a while now and was forced to make a decision as my original pull out steps on my Winne finally broke. etrailer has always been my go to for trailer parts. I watched installation videos and also followed their guidelines to ensure a good fit. Ordered the steps and they arrived quickly - the shipping box was pretty beat up but all the parts were there. Installed in about 1 hour with my sister's help and they fit perfectly. Best investment yet. Thank you etrailer!!
If you want a 'solid step', this is a solid buy. 10/10 for sure!
I installed these in my '22 Winnebago 2225RL. The step and installation are super simple. Including taking out my old steps, it took me 30-40 minutes total including adjusting the locking mechanism.
The installation instructions are really easy to follow. I didn't have to remove my old threshold, but that is not true for everyone. So check this first before you go drilling into anything. I attached some pictures to give a before and after view.
The installation went like this for me...Make sure you're rig is level. Make sure the hinge is folded closed before starting. Lay your steps out, center it in the door, and adjust the feet accordingly. Test your door! Test it several times to make sure nothing is going to bind and that you have clearance in all the right places.
You'll see one hole on either side of the Solid Step black threshold that allows you to drill and screw in your first two connections. Once those are complete, fold up your steps and adjust your locking mechanism so that it closes and latches correctly. After you've got everything working the way you want, install the remaining screws or bolts (based on your type of floor) and secure it all down. Enjoy your new steps!
Ordered a set of these steps they arrived damaged, contacted etrailer they sent another set, they arrived damaged. etrailer wanted me to basically repair steps and source hardware for little compensation. I will never do business with etrailer again. 2 weeks of my time was wasted and now I have to purchase steps elsewhere.
When I originally ordered the item, it was out of stock. Once it was received in stock, I received it within just a couple of days. The item was slightly damaged in shipping and missing some parts. But that is not on etrailer. I’m sure it was packaged at the manufacturer in a way to not protect the item very well considering rough handling during shipping. I called etrailer and they are sending me the replacement parts that I need. I appreciate their efforts.
Unfortunately, the steps arrived the sameday my camper went to the shop for repairs. so I will not be installing these until we get the camper back. i normally give etrailer 5 stars but as the pictures show this box arrived with packing tape on the sides of the box , on the corners and accross the top where the box was damaged. I open the box to inspect and not sure what was included.With the stairs was a bag of screws. no instructions. I would suggest that the packaging needs to be improved. I hope once i start the install that the step are in working condition.
Hi all,
It’s been a year since we purchased our steps. I had slid down our old steps on a rainy morning so I came home and immediately ordered from etrailer (our go to source). I wanted a wide first landing step and this is perfect . It is adjustable to our various ground levels so that is a plus. . This is a very stable step. I would recommend it!
The solid step is a great upgrade for our 2018 hybrid shamrock 233s. It eliminated the side roll when kids jump on the factory underside mounted steps. I would highly recommend adding this to your camper.
Excellent product replacing original steps on 2013 Forest River Surveyor. Only fitment issue per Lippert instructions placed hinge plate too high and door would not close. Easy fix, cut threshold section out to allow hinge plate sit flush on floor. Fits great, looks great, high quality product.
Order came right away. Exactly what I was looking for. It yolks 10 minutes to install. 100% superior to Morryde POS. All the steps are sturdy and you have piece of mind going up and down the stairs with your hands full or with the big dog. The other guys had a big gap in between step 2-3 and your foot would go right through. It happens to me twice and my teenage son. Lippert steps are the way to go and I will never use anything else but Lippert product !!!
Happy campers indeed! These steps are simply the best. Extremely sturdy and very well made. They replaced the original stairs on our fifth wheel which were unstable and unsafe. What an upgrade! Highly recommend. Well worth the price.
I bought these steps as a gift for my son, on his trailer, replacing the original fold-away style. He tells me the difference is between night and day for how much better these new steps are. They feel so much more stable to go up and down on and stepping out of the trailer onto the larger platform of the top step is an additional bonus for security.
The only issue with these steps is how they have to hinge over the door sill. Depending on the style of your sill, you may need to make a modification to the sill plate in order to allow the step hinge to swing all the way into place. We had to make this mod. on his trailer or the hinge plate would not be low enough to clear the bottom of the main door or the screen door. This was not the easiest mod. to do, but once completed, everything fits and he couldn't be happier!
I have the same steps on my trailer and they fit without any modifications required. I also think they are the best option out there!
Once installed, it is definitely solid! Installed it in 20 minutes which included removing the 10 screws, moving the steps tighter to the outside threshold. (Instructions aren’t real clear as to which flange is supposed to be tight to the threshold, outside or inside). I pre-positioned the latches to “close” to what would be the installed position as I was doing this by myself so that after installing the first two screws, I could put the steps into the closed position and have it latch while I installed the remaining 8 screws. I then tweaked the latches to their final position and tightened the bolts.
Installed on Grand Design Imagine 2670MK
Lippert is better at making steps than they are at packaging them. Would buy again and will recommend. Chose Lippert over the competitor because of the larger top step and happy I did. Shop etrailer with confidence. Fast and accurate. Thanks etrailer team
Excellent product. Install was straightforward and took about 1 hour. Very sturdy steps, one of the best additions to our RV to-date.
Great steps. Installed myself with some help from my sister-in-law. My 12 1/2 year old dog can easily navigate. Woman and Dog approved!!
Just installed the Double Step Solid Step. It’s well built and as the name implies very solid. I have a 1978 Vintage Timberline trailer and I had concerns about fitting the steps. I called Lippert Customer Service and got excellent help. The steps fit but I had to modify my threshold taking the lower stop jam and the front lip out. Then all was good the only negative was the installation instructions. A little fuzzy and the illustration were not clear. But the steps are easy to install only needed the drill size for pilot holes. Great product we’ll enjoy them.
It is so much better than the 1 step we had! Much easier to get in and out of the camper. Love the bigger step near the door and the legs on the ground make it much more stable.
The removal of the old steps was fairly easy and the installation of our new 3 step SolidStep was very simple. What a difference! Our aging lab is able to use these steps much easier to get in and out of our 5th wheel. I can tell from just 4 or 5 trips in and out that I will love them also. No more bouncy, steep steps! The large platform top step is so nice.
It’s been a year and they steps are doing great no matter the weather. I would have given it a 5 but the locking mechanism doesn’t extend out far enough due to the wiggle of the unit while in the up position and even with less than a 1/4” on each side one side of the sliding locks may not engage well.
Perfect replacement for my old tri-fold steps. Really like the adjustable bottom feet for uneven terrain. I did have to trim the aluminum lip flush on my existing threshold which stuck up 1/8” for the new ladder mounting bracket to lie flat but it was easy to do with my grinder. Very happy with these new steps which are easy to fold up and deploy.

It is a shame that this step was difficult to install. Certainly not what we want to hear. We absolutely do recommend to measure between the door frame flanges and round up to the nearest even number to select the size that would fit. If the door is wider or narrower then we have other steps that will fit doors ranging from 24 inches wide to 36 inches wide. Also to make sure that your doors will close properly you will want to measure from the top of the threshold plate to the bottom of the door. You will want to have a gap of a quarter inch to three eights of an inch so that the door will close.
