No, if you:
Have a hard time with bending over and pulling out steps, and would rather have an electric step
Get annoyed when you have to supply your own hardware and want everything you need in the box
Have limited space behind where the step will mount - the brackets that the step moves on can get hung up

Will Flexco Pull-Out Steps Work for You?
Pull-out steps are typically installed on travel trailers. The Flexco pull-out steps from Stromberg Carlson 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 Lippert pull-out 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 door frame, and measure the width and depth. You will need a mounting space that is at least 25" wide and 6" deep.
If it turns out you have more or less space beneath your doorway, there are other step assemblies available with bracket sizes ranging from 21-1/16" wide to 28-1/4" wide. 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, plus 3" to 9" to account for the drop from the bottom steps to the ground. This measurement will also tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays mounting bracket width measurements in the first column and entry height measurements in the second column. The third column shows the corresponding part numbers. Use the mounting bracket width and entry height measurements you took to determine which part number will fit your RV. Choose the bracket size that is closest to your measurements without going over.

am using these to go under service bed boxes. they will work, but the 3" drop ones are much better for this application. gonna see if i can return the 7" drop one and get a couple more of 3" ones. are probably just fine for a camp trailer, though.1282465

Great step.... I bought one a few weeks ago for my flat bed loved it love much I bought one for the other side. Ha353097
The step is well built and very sturdy. It came with the slip strip on and is just well built and price was very fair. It was simple installation. We had it on the day it was delivered. Great communication with etrailers on shipping from Manufacturer. Thank you189094
We purchased a used C-Class without a step. This step worked great. Looks great also. Was easy to install. E-trailer delivered as promised and had the best price. Do not need an outside step to get in RV. 430108
I chose not to rebuild an electric step as it gets very expensive. I saw this Flexco manual step for only $45 and decided this was the fix I would go with. A manual step flips in and out quickly and easily, I don't have to fumble with a switch and wait for a pokey motor to fully extend it. The Flexco step is much lighter than the electric step, way less parts to fail. It is made of heavy gauge steel, is fat man friendly and maneuvers flawlessly. The Holes didn't line up perfectly with the bolts on my motorhome but why would they? I didn't expect them too and the spacing is clearly marked in the description. I was fortunate in that the Flexco slid over the base plate from the existing step. I cut the pieces from that base plate and bolted the Flexco to it then bolting the base plate back onto the motor home. This Flexco was the least costly option I found. I'm happy with it. The perforations in the step surface will add traction and allow rain, mud and sand to fall through instead of being tracked. I have ordered from Etrailer before I was already happy with their efficiency and trusted them. 324124

Still holding up nicely, no electronic parts to fail.
Had to modify the step to fit my Jayco Jay Feather 23B. A little cutting and welding and the step works great.1204460

My company is building a custom outdoor kitchen trailer for a customer. We needed a step that was both sturdy and able to stow away for travel. The Flexco step was the perfect fit for our needs. I look forward to ordering from etrailer again soon.187317

Hello, How high is the entry door off ground, also does the step leave plenty of clearance when installed? Thanks. I am building a mobile kitchen also.
Mark M...I believe the floor height was about 16-17 inches off the ground. This step was almost perfectly mid way so it was well balanced...no low step high step situation.
received step and it was as described. step was mounted on a 1997 Itasca Spirit class C motorhome. The side to side bolt pattern on step was a about 2.5" narrower than side to side mounting bolts on my RV. front to back was the same. I just bolted 2 - 1" X 1/4 strap steal to RV. One across the 2 back bolts and one across the 2 front bolts then bolted step to the strap metal pieces. Since the step was as described I had the strap metal all ready to go when step arrived so mounting step was a snap and it works great. Now I don't have to haul around and extra safety step every where I go. My RV is only 21" and storage space is limited. YAAAAAA!!280148

My second attempt at securing replacement steps for my rv, the first one had wrong configuration, this second one o cannot entirely lock the step in place because of the trailer frame. It kinda hangs there half locked half unlocked. I guess it will be ok .432222

Mounted this at the escape door on my "too high to step up into" horse trailer. It has worked perfectly and always leaves me enough ground clearance even in the hill country.610799

Looks great, just as described on the add. I'll used it for a different application than an RV(Truck step). Do you manufacture smaller ones, less than 24"?918392

Well I have not had chance to install it yet Since I'm awaiting the new trailer to arrive. As for the steps. I opened box and first thing I noticed is that the slip grip self adhesions tape is half peeled off inside box. Not impressed n I haven't even impede the other box yet 190237

This is a great product, it worked perfect for my needs, I welded it on my 1947 Mainline camper made by Spartin. I have bought many products from
Etrailer, they are a great company.

I am very pleased with the pull-out step that I bought last year for our 1983 Jayco Mini camper. It is sturdy and holding up well. The bolt holes matched up perfectly for installation. 409831

Both products continue to work just fine and as expected. Happy with both purchases. Thanks for the follow up.
Mounted within minutes.
Would help if a drilling template was included or printed on inner box lid.
Made my own and just finished drilling and taping the mounting holes on the trailer.
Product is sturdy. and works well.
With the 4" frame the step is still a little large (11-1/2").432790

etrailer shines on this one, the step got there 2 days earlier than expected and took about 20 min. to install (only because two of my old holes did not line up) it is very sturdy I am a bigger guy and I was worried that the wider step would have some flex in the middle but it is very solid, very happy with this product.401736
The Flexco Manual Pull-Out Step # SMFP-1100 referenced in your question is designed for use on RVs but can be used for other applications. To see if this step assembly will work on your John Deere tractor, I simply recommend measuring the space you have available for which to mount it.

We do have some bolt-on manual steps that you can install on your 2018 Forest River Forester Motorhome to make it a little easier entering and exiting your motorhome.

I looked up a couple pictures of your 2014 Coachman Clipper 17BH and it appears to have the Manual Pull Out Step which is a pretty standard step like # SMFP-1100. Like most single steps this has a narrower mounting bracket width than double or triple steps. Yours in particular has a 26 inch width. The good news is we have a double step # LC432682 that will fit well and require minimal spacers. view full answer...
Yes, the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs # SMFP-1100 that you referenced can replace an electric setup on your RV. The mounting brackets of this are 25 inches wide which is a very common size but worst case scenario you'd have to move the mounting brackets or use outriggers like part # LC301704. Another option is that you could weld these to your RV frame too. view full answer...
Stromberg has a set of universal install brackets with the part # LC301704 that you can use with the Steps part # SMFP-1100 which you can use to mount them basically anywhere you'd like on your Promaster. view full answer...
I looked up pictures of your 2001 Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22R and it has a cut out for a single step below the door. The Flexco Manual Pull Out step part # SMFP-1100 was designed to fit RV setups just like yours but you'd want to measure first to know for sure. Worst case scenario you'd have to move the mounting brackets or use outriggers like part # LC301704. The width of the mounting brackets of this are 25 inches though. Another option would be to weld these in place to your frame. view full answer...
The Flexco Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs, # SMFP-1100 is designed to support RV's, but I don't see a reason it can not be adapted to mount on a 2019 Ford Transit T250. While we cannot confirm the fitment to your van as we have not attempted this type of mount, I can point out that the Lippert Outriggers for RV Steps, # LC301704 are available if needed.
As for the steps, yes they are solid enough to perform well on your van providing you make a proper mount to the frame. These can be either... view full answer...
For a mounting bracket width of 25" we only have a one-step RV Step # SMFP-1100. What you can do instead is install an a fold-down step like the MORryde StepAbove RV Steps - 2 Steps Item # MR26RR. It fits a doorway width of 23-3/4" - 26-1/4" and an entry height (ground to bottom of door threshold) of 25" - 29".

The Flexco Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs - Single - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - 350 lbs # SMFP-1100 cannot be added to an existing 2 step system. You would need to replace the 2 step system with a 3 step to gain that additional step. You may consider the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs - Triple - 8" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - 350 lbs # SMFP-3100 for that application.
If you want to keep the 2 step and just add another portable step when needed, then I recommend the Safety Step Adjustable... view full answer...
The Lippert Components Kwikee Step Frame 28 SERIES SINGLE STEP (908028000) # LC3747457 won't be able to store properly without the motorized components. To add this, you would also need the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Motor Conversion/Upgrade Kit # LC379145.
If you want a manual step, I recommend the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs - Single - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - 300 lbs # SMFP-1100. The step dimensions are 24 inches wide and 9 inches deep. The bolt pattern is 23-1/4... view full answer...
