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 - to determine the step size that will fit into your camper's doorway. You will need a doorway that is at least 25" wide to 28-7/8" 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 25" to 28-7/8" wide. Industry standard 8" drop/rise between steps. Adjustable legs keep steps level and reduce bounce.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.
Great product! Very sturdy when installed! Took a lot of grinding to get it to fit properly! Would like to see a handrail that fits the 2- step!!
So easy to install and proved to be a HUGE upgrade to our Micro Minnie. So stable and adjustable to different heights as needed.
Really good quality, definitely a step up from the original equipment that came on my open range 272 RLS. Definitely recommend to anybody considering the upgrade.
I whish l had bought these steps a year ago. Closing inside trailer is the best way to protect them from the elements. My new steel steps rusted out in less than a year. These steps are well built and very stable when you enter. My wife really likes the extra dept in top step.
Steps are excellent. I'm an older guy so sure footing is important for me. You get no bounce when you step on the Solidstep unit. The installation was a breeze. We keep a welcome mat just inside the door so when the Solidstep is folded up leaves or water drops on the mat. Also the stop step is wider giving me added protection against falling or missing the step when coming out of the trailer. The stair skid proof treads gives sure footing even in the rain. We Love this upgrade as mush as anything we have done to our travel trailer. Thank you Solidstep and etrailer.com

One year has passed since we installed the Solidstep from etrailer.com We are absolutely 100 happy with the Solidstep. The bottom legs are easy to adjust. They can be adjusted individually if you find yourself parked on an unlevel surface. As I said before Im an older guy and weigh over 300 lbs. the Solidstep makes my camping experience so much more enjoyable and safe. At the current time I have no problem lifting and lowering the steps into place but if later I begin having trouble I can just add the Lift assist kit and continue on. Also with the old steps gone I have an area under the RV to place a storage box for leveling blocks and other set up equipment. On a smaller camper added exterior storage is always a plus. I just cant boast enough about our Solidstep. Every RV or camper should have Solidsteps. I would be glad to help anyone with questions about the Solidstep. Thank you to etrailer.com and Solidstep for making us Happier Campers.
The steps are great. The two pins that hold the height adjustment arms (adjustable legs) are not great, they fall out and my wife can not press the little ball in to extend or retract. I have to line the pin then force it with my thumb to be secured in another hole.
The steps work very well on my Montana 3665 RE fifth wheel. Had to do some modification on the internal step, but with that done the steps fit and function fine. Should solve my problem of hitting the low hung factory folding stairs.
Crushed them twice,only 6 inches of clearance from road. Now have 24 inches of clearance from road.
Super easy to install. Much nicer than the stock fold out steps.
The stairs went in easily. They are very well built and solid. So much nicer than the factory stairs! The process couldn't have been better, from ordering to shipping and delivery. Very satisfied!

Still loving the steps! No issues whatsoever.
Hey Carol, Thanks for checking in. Got the stairs today and immediately started install. The best steps ever. Can't say enough about etrailer customer support. Sorry about the pics. I was so anxious to get the install going I never thought about install photos, so only have the final product, which is amazing. Thank you all for the great support and another great product.
Installed on a 2017 Dutchman aspen trail, fits and looks great, easy install. Best price I found. Would recommend.
The steps are great, the install was a little difficult.
they fit in the space, although the doors needed to be cut down and altered.
we took up the trip molding inside the door, and mounted the steps as flat as possible and the door would not close while the steps were out.
The steps required me to modify the screen door on my camper. And the pins that hold up the adjustable legs is not user friendly. I ended up changing out the pins for a square D ring. The quality is good and after I made the changes it works well. It is very stable and adjustable for unlevel ground.
Love this and should have purchased it ages ago! Pins in the legs are kind of persnickity to deal with and sometimes you dump dirt into your camper if the backside of the steps are dirty when you fold it up. But small price to pay for a more secure and manageable step!
Steps are great, wish I purchased them years ago.Very solid, takes all the bounce out of entering the camper. Etrailer was great with purchase. Fast delivery and easy transaction.
A great improvement, indeed! We find entering and exiting so much easier with the Solid Step system...and so do our little dogs! Install was not too challenging, but do measure carefully. The top step is larger and the "porch effect" really helps during exits. Money well spent!
Much more stable than the factory fold out steps. The trailer soesn't lurch side to side when walking on the steps.
Great Product

Steps Still Working Great. I Would highly Recommend these steps.
I made the mistake of ordering this model instead of the exterior mount model. It does not fit (My mistake not yours) because it is too high. I modified my Clas"C"to try to make it fit. Had to shorten the door and change the threshold. It works ok but that's all. I just wish I had ordered the external mount model. I like the concept of a larger size of steps and they are very stable. If there was a video to demonstrate the difference between the interior and exterior mounting on class "C" rigs I would not have made the mistake. Great quality product.
Like I stated above" It was My mistake. My rig takes a shorter step by a couple inches. Most class "C" rigs do. It took quite a few mods to make it only "ok" rather than great.
Super fast service and very competitive pricing. We live two hours from any major city, so fast shipping (and free!) was much better than spending a day shopping.
Even though these steps are meant to be used in a conventional travel trailer, I installed them in a 1994 Fleetwood Southwind Class A motor home. I had to get creative to position them so the door would function properly, but it was worth the effort. They are great!!! The original electric steps stopped working properly long ago. I had replaced them with manually operated steps, but was never happy with them. These steps are fantastic, relatively simple to use, very stable and my wife loves them. What else can I say? They solved an eight year old problem. Thank you
installation was pretty easy, the steps are real stable and the top step being wide is nice. a little more effort in setting up each time but well worth it for the stability (especially for my wife). well worth it in my book.
Really liked the steps enjoyed the involvement with your company
100% don’t like the fact that they came in damaged due to shipping box was ripped open missing all hardware scratches and dents
Contacted your company and the lady that I was dealing with on the phone is taking care of everything
I will definitely be a repeat customer

I whish I had bought these two years earlier. I wasted a lot of money on steel steps and watched them rust away.
