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.
The chart below displays doorway width measurements in the first column. If you determined you have an entry height between 22" and 28", the step part numbers that fit that height are in the second column. If you determined your entry height is between 27" and 36", the step part numbers that fit that height are in the third column. If you determined your entry height is between 35" and 44", the step part numbers that fit that height are in the fourth column. Choose the doorway width that is closest to your measurements without going over.

Positives: This was a simple installation. The hardest part was removing the old steps-took 2 of us (and a few grunts!). I filed off the inner lip on the threshold and removed the transition strip to make things as level as possible prior to installation. It took about 3/4 hour to finish install after that. Great product, (first in-field use will be Thursday 10/8/20). Negatives: The shipping carton was trashed and loose parts were strewn throughout. I didn't receive the 4" #10 machine screws, washers, and lock nuts, so I used the wood screws but I'm pretty sure I'll need to through bolt the assembly to the trailer in the future. LCI - replacements please? Also, ordered clevis pins with bimini rings for easier support strut length adjustment. Overall: Very Positive Upgrade-Easy & Useful. I would recommend to anyone who wants a better steps than the OEM.897433
One year later and we’re very pleased with our purchase. Absolutely no problems and they provide a sturdier platform to get into our trailer. No complaints. We would purchase again.

We have ordered several times from etrailer.com and have never had a problem. And, we love the steps!1265720
Watched installation video prior to installing steps & that made the process much easier. I had enough threshold clearance on both the screen & outside doors so steps fit very well on my 2016 Imagine by Grand Design camper.1021529
Comments
Best steps ever. Fit my 2017 Imagine by Grand Design camper perfectly without having to modify the screen door. Easy 2 person installation and adjusts easily for uneven ground. Very solid and nice having larger 1st step.

Easy installation and a great product. I used the backer plate and thru bolts for mounting instead of screws. The only issue I had was that the locking pins for the leg extensions were not easy to remove. I replaced them a standard pins with retaining clips.962773
Comments
No issues with the steps at all. I always check to see if the site allows the steps to lower completely so as to not interfere with the door closing.

We're about to begin our second season of camping with these steps and overall, we love them. They are strong, stable, easy to raise and lower and they were super simple to install. There have been a few times where we wished for the old fashioned fold-out steps, and we've decided against putting in a second set in our second doorway. If we had a camper with only one door, I would probably not choose these. Overall, we love them and would buy them again.1276061
by: Steve 01/29/2021
Great steps. We have a 34 foot Montana and got the 3 step model, I think they recommended the 4 step model but these are lighter to lift and shorter in the doorway. The egress and ingress might be a little steeper but we are very happy. Easy to install the screen door had to be adjusted a little bit to shut properly. Very good quality, I would do this again. They came fast and the customer service was not needed so I cant speak to that.946383

Very Good product. No issues after a year of use. Would buy again.

I really appreciate the fast delivery of my steps for the RV. It’s a little cool tonight. So I’ll wait a few days to install them.1194429
The box came beaten up! My husband is installing the stairs on our camper as I write this. It’s obvious these stairs have been mounted, taken off and then returned. There is an adjusting pin missing. I’ve posted pictures of the box and the stairs. For the money spent it’s very disappointing to receive a used item.1300342
by: Angela03/14/2022
These stairs are a great replacement for the factory installed stairs. We do like having the larger top stair for stability. It’s nice that the camper doesn’t rock when someone is using the stairs since they’re stabilized by the ground. My only complaint is having to clean them well before packing up to leave campsite since they fold into camper. Make sure to install them while camper is on level ground.1272395

I have a 2013 Forest River Wildcat 5th wheel RV that I installed the Lippert tri solid steps on. They are the 26” because my doorway is only 25 1/4” at the widest place. Takes longer to unbox than to install as I did remove the old steps. They fitted perfectly. Really solid. Now the RV does not shake with entering and exiting.1267593

I ordered Sunday evening and installed the Lippert Solid Step in Florida Wensday morning. Fits, works and looks pretty darn good. I would like to thank Lori for her fantastic customer service and follow through my sale.1302256

Product arrived earlier than expected and was in perfect condition with all parts included. It was very easy to install myself thanks to the video from etrailer! I am very happy with my purchase!1121326
I ordered the steps and lift assist together and than arrived at the same time. not all my orders arrive tougher. I watch the instruction videos a few times and read the enclosed instructions a few times before starting. two hours later all was installed and working fine. I did the installation by myself. at 73 I am a little slow but no problems. I did have to drill one hole at a little angle to get beside original step bracket.1267677
by: Curtis02/01/2022
Great Steps. Great Price. Kept me informed on status of order. Bought the steps twice to have one on each door1256524
We love the steps, we did have to do some adjustments to 2000 fifth wheel threshold and storm door, but it works great. Very secure1287675

Love this product. The 13 inch top step is excellent for my wife who has knee and hip issues and I like it too. Good price and delivered on time. The first order from etrailer was for boat trailer spring kit and again good product, good price, delivered as scheduled. I will order again from etrailer when needed.873432

These steps are great! I had to order a new set of steps due to damage during a camping trip. etrailer sent it, UPS managed to destroy it up before it was delivered. Back went the UPS damaged unit. A whole new unit was quickly sent to replace that one. And UPS managed to mangle the box of the replacement. The contents were fine though. Thanks etrailer for great customer service even though it was UPS's fault.1205105

Great product and easy to install thanks to the etrailer installation videos. Once again etrailer delivered! They are all awesome!!!!1018606
The steps themselves are phenomenal. They are very sturdy and they were a breeze to install. Would have rated them a 5 but when I received my order the box was torn and had several large holes in it, one of the bases on the legs were bent, but I was able to straighten it out with a hammer and half the nuts and bolts were missing. Luckily a hardware store was close so I was able to purchase new bolts, washers and screws. They only took about 45 minutes to install once I got all the hardware. I would definitely recommend these steps of you are looking to upgrade your old steps.1146766

Nice steps but difficult to get the top of the stairs to lay down completely so you can shut the door without slamming it. I installed it per the instructions but had to mess with it to lay correctly. It’s the correct size for my trailer based on the selection criteria. They do work great.1268718
Comments
It does sound like the threshold plate of the steps may not be firmly pressed against the threshold. I recommend to make sure the step threshold plate is placed firmly against the outside of the door threshold. If not positioned flush against the outside of the door threshold, the step assembly could prevent the door from closing. Please let me know if this doesnt solve your issue and I can troubleshoot further.

Received these last week it took me about an hour to install the unit it is solid to walk on , my wife and mother in law love them. Would recommend this to any one who has an older rv needing solid steps to go up and down.927811
Stairs were installed in a 2018 Forest River Work & Play. The original 2-step stairs caused issues with my knees due to the excessive riser height. The new stairs riser height is 8 inches. Installation of the stairs itself was quick and easy with my wife assisting while I drilled the mounting holes in the floor. Installation took less than 30 minutes.
One issue that I encountered was that the screen door was scraping along the sheetmetal threshold of the SolidStep, preventing the RV door from closing while the steps were in the down position. The fix was that I cut approx 1/4 inch of the vertical rails of the screen door and re-assembled the screen door. Door closes without binding now.845817

The Lippert steps installed on my trailer made getting in and out much easier. The steps are more rigid have more weight handling capacity than the original fold out steps. Very good addition to the trailer.1152345
What do you mean by exchange the door? Do you mean use a different door than what the camper came with? As long as the doorway is 26 inches wide and the threshold is between 27 and 36 inches from the ground the # LC791572 that you referenced will fit and does not require you to use a different door. view full answer...
To pick out Lippert SolidSteps for your RV you need to measure the opening width for the door and we'll be able to get you setup with the correct setup. If your doorway opening is 26 inches wide the correct kit is the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for RVs - 20" Wide - Triple - Aluminum Item # LC791572 as that's the size it fits and the threshold height range it fits is 27" - 36" from the ground. view full answer...
Lippert SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Step # LC791572 should work fine for your 2011 Keystone Outback travel trailer since Lippert makes almost all of the trailer frames in the RV industry. Your 25-1/2-inch door opening is compatible so just confirm that the threshold height is between 27- and 36-inches above ground and you're all set. The screen door's operation should not be impacted.
Please note this does not include mounting hardware but the step assembly comes fully-assembled. view full answer...
Measure the doorway of your 2014 Coachman APEX 28. If the width is 26 to 29-7/8 inches and the threshold height of the door is between 27 and 36 inches then this step assembly will fit and work well for you. view full answer...
The perfect SolidStep solution you need is the part # LC791572. This fits door widths of 24" - 26" like what you have and has a threshold height range of 27-36 inches. view full answer...
The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps are an extremely universal RV step option. However, you will still need to measure the RV's doorway to determine fitment. If the RV's doorway measures 26" to 29-7/8" wide then you will want to use part # LC791572. The distance from the bottom of the door to the ground will also need to be between 27" - 36" in order for these steps to work for you. view full answer...
For your 2017 Forest River Vibe Travel Trailer, I recommend using the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps part # LC791572 which fit RV's with doorways 24" - 26" wide and have a threshold height between 27" - 36" from the ground. These steps will work perfectly for you. They have a leg extension for added security and varying height in addition to an anti-slip design for safety. view full answer...
The SolidStep part # LC791572 could be used on a pop up trailer but you will need vertical clearance for the setup to store. When this is in the stored position it's 44 inches tall from the floor of the trailer. You'd need that much clearance available when the pop up is in the down position.
Since your threshold to ground clearance is 27 inches this is the correct setup in that regard as well. view full answer...
The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 26" to 29-7/8" RV Door Frames - Triple - Aluminum part # LC791572 adds very little to the threshold thickness maybe 1/4" at most. Screen doors will have a little bit of give at the bottom by way of a gasket or brush material which sould account for this. But, if you still do not have the clearance for that in some cases the bottom of the screen door can be adjusted up slightly for fit.
The Solid steps are amazing when it comes to getting in and... view full answer...
We've checked with Lippert in the past and they've told us that if the doorway is 25-1/2 inches wide you'd want to go with the size # LC791572 that is for 26 to 29-7/8 inches in width. view full answer...
The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps part # LC791572 will fit a door way from 25" -28.9" wide when measuring the frame inside. If the factory label sticker shows a doorway width between 26"-29" then the above steps will work for you just be sure to verify the threshold is between 27"-36".
I have attached a photo below to assist. view full answer...
You should try to locate the center point of your door frame when installing the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 26" to 29-7/8" RV Door Frames - Triple # LC791572.
If you take a look at the cut out of the directions I added it does specify centering the steps in the doorway, and we always recommend following the manufacturer's directions. Having said that, realistically you will be fine with it not being 100 percent perfectly centered, so long as it doesn't deviate all the way to... view full answer...
While you can't add a single step to your double steps, you can replace them so long as you have the right distance from the ground and width of doorway of your travel trailer.
For example, the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791572 is a triple step that is for 26" to 29-7/8" doorways and for a doorway entry height of 27" to 36" so if these were your measurements you could use this step. You also need to have the same mounting bracket dimensions of 22-1/2" wide x 10-1/2" tall x 6"... view full answer...
The correct triple SolidStep will be determined by measuring your door width from frame to frame and rounding up to the nearest even number.
So for a door width of 24-7/8 inches, you were correct in your initial assessment; the steps you need are the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791572.
I have added a link to a video review and install for you to check out as well. view full answer...
For your doorway width of 28-1/2 inches and entry height of 28 inches the steps you want are the triple step, the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 26" - 29-7/8" Wide RV Door Frames - Triple # LC791572.
These steps are for a 27" to 36" entry height and the legs are adjustable so the triple step won't be too low, though the double step could possibly not reach the ground if you happen to be on an uneven surface.
The steps won't add almost any height to the bottom of the threshold but... view full answer...
Thanks so much for the photos they were super helpful, and based on those we do have the exact Lippert SolidSteps you need. Since your doorway width is just over 25 inches and entry height is just over 34 inches the correct SolidStep is the following:
- SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791572
These steps will fit doors with your width and entry height, though the stabilizer you are referring to will likely need to be removed as it juts out too far. I have added links to the instructions... view full answer...
Sounds like the threshold of your door is only a little bit taller than the floor of your trailer and you are concerned about the angle plate of the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791572 being to severe to fit properly. It would not be an issue though. If you have something else going on though let me know and I'll look further into it.
This SolidStep is designed to fit doorway heights of between 35 and 44 inches as well as doorway widths of between 26 and 29-7/8 inches. view full answer...
The correct set of SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for your trailer is part # LC791572. These steps are for a 26" wide doorway but they only need 25-1/2" between the door flanges in order to mount so they will be perfect for you. The entry height you have will work with the triple step option which is 26" - 30" even though you are short by 1-1/2". I confirmed this with Lippert for you. view full answer...
According to the manufacturer the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 25" to 28-7/8" RV Door Frames - Triple - Aluminum Item # LC791572 will require atleast 4' of clearance when deployed. view full answer...
The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps part # LC791572 is designed for an entry threshold height between 27" - 36". It will also require an entry width between 25" - 28-7/8". Therefore, so long as you are within the range for each measurement there will not be any fit issues. It does not matter is you only clear by 1/4" just so long as you are within the range listed. view full answer...
Since your doorway width is 25 inches the correct SolidStep is the part # LC791572 that you mentioned. This would work great on your Roo 21SS. view full answer...
As long as the door frame of your 2017 Cougar 28SGS is between 25" and no larger than 29-7/8", then the Lippert SolidStep # LC791572 will fit; unfortunately we don't have a database that tells us the door sizes on coaches so you will need to measure between the door frame flanges. I've added a photo that should help give you an idea of how/where exactly to measure, as well as a review video. view full answer...
If you install the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791572 you will need to remove the strut. The steps need to be able to fold in so the strut would have to be out of the way in order for them to do so. view full answer...
It would take some time to install and reinstall the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 25" to 28-7/8" RV Door Frames - Triple - Aluminum # LC791572.
They get screwed in, so it isn't super technical, but doing so every weekend would certainly be a chore. If it's something you do just at the beginning and end of every season then that is definitely doable. I have added a link below to a video install of the SolidStep # LC791572 so you can see how it is done. view full answer...
