This park-model trailer step provides the stability of a stationary step with an interchangeable handrail for use on either side. The triple-step Econo Porch comes fully assembled: To use, simply unfold and attach braces.
We are living in our 5th wheel full time and the steps that came with it were hard for my 78 year old wife to use, even with the fold out railing. She likes these steps because of the wide landing at the top, the full handrail, the moderate rise of the steps, and the grip on the steps for secure footing. We've had them for a year and they're holding up well and are very sturdy and stable. They're held together with 8 bolts plus 2 for the railing which is sturdy. It's hard to take them with you as it's rather wide when folded. They don't fit in our basement. When we moved, we put them inside leaning against something with a blanket around them which worked. For a pull behind, they could go in the truck. Before I found these I was going to build steps out of wood which wouldn't be portable and take more money and a lot of time. We're very happy and would buy them again.
I was amazed at the fast shipping, we ordered on Saturday and received the steps on Wednesday. A+++. I set up the stairs right away without too much problem. The back right leg looking from the front is twisted slightly and made the bolts difficult to install for the landing. I took a couple of photos but hard to see. Entering and exiting the trailer with the new stairway is much easier and we have been looking for something portable and sturdy for our Grand Design Imagine and we hope this will do.
Cam - 12/08/2019I am going to rate this item excellent. These steps are very sturdy. Not light however at 70 pounds but they do fold up for transporting. We bought the steps to make it easier for our 15 year old Border Collie to get in and out of the trailer. The steps and landing are covered with traction material and prevents her from slipping on the steps. The steps are well made and easy to assemble. I would buy these again; however.........
My only complaint is the poor packaging provided by the manufacturer. It does not protect the contents during shipping. This is no fault of etrailer or UPS. The staples that hold the two sides of the box together really beat up the paint job in numerous spots and the bolts were strewn all over the inside of the box, likely adding to the paint damage. I have posted a message on Stromberg Carlson's website as they should be providing better protection in the packaging for their products especially heavy ones
such as this. I will keep the steps as I really like them, but I was disappointed in seeing the damaged paint, even if it is only cosmetic. I have not heard back from the manufacturer.
Etrailer had the steps in stock and the free UPS shipping was a bonus. I had them within three business days. I have bought from etrailer in the past and will do so in the future.
So easy to setup, took just a few minutes. We have our steps sideways, so we will be adding yellow chain link at the top of the platform so no one takes a left turn off the steps.
I understand all previous shipping comments. Shipping is difficult because the steps are heavy and the box is large and difficult to move around. Ours came with a few scrapes on the edge but nothing that can't be touched up.
Allison - 10/03/2016I was extremely pleased with the quality of materials in my portable steps. The instructions included were easy to understand and follow. Now my wife can easily access our trailer even with problem knees.
Quick delivery, no damage,easy assembly,sturdy product,looks great,would recommend this product and company.
My wife has knee problems these steps are working excellent for here.
Gary W - 02/19/2020makes a much safer entrance to 5th whee l.
The steps arrived in perfect condition. I was afraid the weight might be too much for me the handle when putting it together, but I had no problems (I weigh 105 lbs.). I initially had difficulty understanding how to stand it upright, but once I got that, it went smoothly. It sits very securely, and makes going in and out of my little vintage camper safe. I like that it can be removed and stored in the winter months.
Heidi - 08/05/2020Just got the new steps today so have not gotten to test drive them in "real" camping operations but the steps are exactly what we were looking for. The steps on our new camper are adequate but pretty steep. The new stand-alone steps are a lot more user friendly and the landing at the top makes a great platform when going in and out.
Thanks for such a durable and great product.
These are wonderful steps! Very sturdy, extremely easy to assemble and very secure. I use them to access my pool deck and they are PERFECT, strong, slip proof (even in wet, bare feet) and step width and spacing is perfect for older fat person such as myself! They shipped quickly and box was slightly banged up, I would like to suggest that shippers use two fiberglass bonded tapes one wrapped horizontally and the other wrapper vertically to make handling during shipping slightly easier (gives someone something to grip when moving box). Thanks so much for such a great product!
crisg - 01/21/2015In the time it takes to tighten 8 nuts & bolts, the steps were ready to use. I did add 2 lock washers to the bolts of the handrail to reduce the chance they might loosen.
Very strong! Heavy duty!
This step unit is just what we needed for our entrance to our park model/destination trailer. It was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. The landing at the top is a great feature. It is now so much easier to go in and out - for the old lady and for our elderly dog. We looked at fiberglass, but the heavy, chunky designs were ugly. This open unit does not detract from the trailer. The price was also reasonable. Most pre-fab RV steps are a total rip-off price-wise. I highly recommend this product.
RaMarie S - 02/13/2015I paid for item EHS-103-R which is 4 steps. I paid for the express and then I received a phone call from a rep telling that they could not deliver it to me on time as the website stated. UNLESS I paid EXTRA for shipping and I said, that's called EXTORTION... But I did agree to pay extra to have them delivered to me a few days sooner than the "EXPRESS". So 5days after they where to be at my door step I looked online to see where they where at and it said, crushed and returned to sender. But yet I wasn't notified by the shipping comping nor etrailer. When I called to ask where my product was at they said oh we are out of them and it will take an additional 10 days to get to you. The whole reason I ordered them in the first place was to use for a spa and pool show. So people couldn't walk up the steps and see into our products up close. So for the show we had to use a latter and it costed us literally thousands of dollars in sales. Not being able to show our product will ease. I know it may not have seem like a big deal to them and trust me they made me feel like that when we talked on the phone. But like I said, I know it costed me several deals not being able to show our products off safely.
Outstanding, everyday in and out.
Love it.
Excellent product, I have and will continue to recommend it to one and all.
Great.
The stairs themselves are great, they will make it easier for us and our dogs to get in and out of our 5th wheel. The stairs also arrived quickly, just under a week after the order.
We are just happy everything arrived ok and complete because the box was in terrible shape when it arrived. It was beat up and partially torn open. You really need to use better boxes after so many reviews saying how the box was in bad shape when it arrived.
Lori B - 09/01/2019Many prior reviews mentioned the poor packing of these steps and the parts that were missing as a result of the packing damage. Thanks to Kim and the added packing the steps arrived with no damage and all the parts were in the package and it arrived promptly. Kim was very knowledgeable, prompt, concerned and showed that she wanted the business. Being that we are in a very large and active campground I am sure many here will stop ro see the steps. I will definately recommend etrailer and Kim.
I bought these steps as both me and my wife are in our 80s and find the steps on our Park Model trailer getting hard to handle. Now we can continue camping in comfort and with safety going up and down the stairs.
Assembly was easy. The hadrest part was to open the steps from a flat position but once opened all went smoothly and quickly.
Bill B - 02/21/2016The description was perfect & so it fit exactly as we anticipated. Loved that it was 3/4 put together already - we just had to unfold it & put in 8 bolts. Very awesome!
They shipped it to us in Maui, which was awesome, but the box came quite beat up with one of the edges protruding. However, it was all fine & perfect.
We spent 3 weeks in Desert hot springs Ca. and loved our steps. My husband has a bad knee and it was easier for him to get in and out and the dogs did so much better than using the regular trailer steps. It folded up enough (4 step model) to barely squeak unter the storage bin. The three step would have been a snap to store.
It was packaged well, and my only complant was that there were no nuts and bolts etc for assembly and we had to go to the hardware store before being able to use it. Will get pics later
Denise R - 03/20/2015well made in the usa
So far the steps are great. Just what we wanted. But the packaging was terrible!! All the nuts and bolts were all over the place. 1/2 of them were loose in the box and we had to tip them out of the empty box. One long bolt for the stair handle is still missing (and we have looked everywhere - spent a lot of time too). We are going to the hardware store today to get another bolt so we can put the handle on. Not a happy camper about this.
The steps arrived ok. But the box was destroyed. Fasteners scattered around the UPS truck. A trip to Home Depot for more nuts and screws fixed that problem.
It required a crow bar and a 2x4 to convince the assembly to unfold.
But now all is well.
the steps are too short for our 5th wheel.
I called the company to inquire about the steps, the young man James that answered my call was more than helpful, I explained that I was a senior citizen and what I was looking for. Within minutes he had me all fixed up with what he figured I needed.
What service, your company should be so proud to have such a good helpful person working for you. The nicest part of all this is the efficiency and speed of this sale. It arrived on my doorstep two days later. EXACTLY what I had been looking for. THANK YOU JAMES you are a sweetheart. I highly recommend this step it is fabulous.!!!!!!!!!! Your company deserves 10 stars!!!!!!and James at least 20!!! ........
PIERRETTE P - 10/23/2017These steps are stable. Have wide steps. A sturdy hand rail. It doesn't bounce or move. We love them. Would buy them again. We are in our early 60's so sturdy with a big handrail is a necessity, but we have found that the younger kids that run none stop need them more than we do. They have worked great for our large family.
We purchased the folding stairs over a year ago to use with our destination RV that we have permanently parked in NW Montana. As we did not want to continue to use the attached RV fold-out steps, we actually folded up the RV steps and attached these in their place. These were easy to assemble, take down, & store, so would work well for traveling, too. Having the four steps makes it easy to go up and down with your arms full. The steps are very sturdy, the handrail is useful, and they look very nice on our RV. We are in our second winter (some temperatures have hit 20 below zero with 2 feet of snow) and do not see any wear/tear, e.g., rust, etc. The skid-proof strips work well to give sure footing in the rain. We are able to use a non-salt snow melt on them to keep them from being slick when it freezes or after we've shoveled snow off without seeing any damage to them. One of our family members is over 300# and the steps support them very well. Our little mixed-breed Chihuahua/Terrier dog loves them. He has plenty of room to lie out on the top step to sun himself in nice weather & patrol his yard. (We put a pad down so he isn't lying on the skid-proof strip which is a little rough.) Thank you for such a quality product!
Very good quality steps and cheaper than [another company]!
