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 26" wide and 12" 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.

Just what we needed. Fit original location perfectly. We raised our RV 4 in. So this was perfect adjustment for getting in and out camper. I like it a lot better than the one step we had.1297021
Got the step in just a few days. Took about fifteen minuets to put on. Had just single step but it 12 inches from the door. This double step is 9 inches. Might not seem like much but when you have bad knees the inches may as well be feet. Can still go up about two more inches but have to modify the bracket that is welded to the camper frame. But we love the double step. Trying it out this weekend. Thank you for having a web sight. Sure makes my life better. I know where to go for thing like this double step. I highly recommend etrailor. Great company. 301505
Love these steps. Replaced the original heavy duty ones that came with trailer. The originals were always in the way and needed leveling. These steps are extremely sturdy. And etrailer.com is a great company to support.1253905

Great upgrade to our trailer from the standard step. These steps are solid and well constructed.1287416

This is the 2nd one of these steps I have purchased and they work great. I have a bandwagon I use for playing in Mardi Gras parades and have one of these mounted on the front and back of the bandwagon. They are durable and have no problem supporting the weight of the musicians getting on and off the bandwagon.516227
Received steps right on schedule and the fit with just minor adjustments, such as elongating two mounting holes. We believe they’ll work great as the single step was physically hard for my wife to get in and out of trailer. Only one problem is they didn’t retract easily at first until I readjusted the step arms. We’re pleased as these steps saved us money, time, and inconvience of having an RV shop order them and install that is always pricey! 544431
Bought these steps to replace single step on my Rpod 177. We have the lift kit on the axle, so the single step was difficult to get up and down on. This unit slid between the welded bracket with some persuasion. I had to enlarge the rear bolt holes on the bracket. Very pleased with the layout of the steps now!382611
My camper came with one step. We tried several step stools and after falling several times I found this item and the price was low. I had to do a little cutting of corners to mount, but it worked like a champ. It only took me about 2 hours and it took the place of the single step. We love it. It looks like it was factory installed. 575162

The steps are still working great. I am sure they will hold up for the life of the camper.

REALLY need some suggested mounting methods suited to particular trailers. How would you like to buy a couple of airplane wings with no suggestion as to what they would fit and how to mount them?517744
Comments
This particular step has a 27-5/8 inch wide mounting bracket. The best way to determine the correct steps for your application is to measure the width of the mounting bracket of your existing steps, and compare that dimension to the available steps.

The folded unit sticks a little when lifting into the stored position. Other than that, function, rigidity and quality are all fine. It replaced a single step unit that was uncomfortable to use. Good product that I would not hesitate to recommend. Made an USA: what a concept!561138
by: Robert09/05/2015
These steps are great. Very solid and spaced just right. A vast improvement over the OEM single step. Highly recommend. This is my third order from etrailer and I couldn't be more satisfied with the quality of their offered products, their rapid response and shipment, and their customer followup and service. When the need arises, I will buy from them again. 224221

It installed easily with two people and clamps. It was what I wanted to get into food truck easier. 542079
The steps were to arrive by 8 pm on Monday, were surprised when UPS delivered them on Saturday afternoon!
The installation wasn't as easy as we hoped, had to notch the back and drill out the back hole on both sides. No install instructions, but we got it installed. I think the double step will make our knees happy. Service was great.494871
Comments
I recommend this 2-step, with its higher weight limit, it handles weight very good. Its great for our old knees. Our R-POD has the lift kit, and was a bit of a struggle to get up and down the steps with arms full. Now its a breeze. As someone mentioned, it sticks occasionally, but Ive found if I reach above the steps and pull from behind, it comes out with ease.

Great product, my previous two step was twice as long and I dragged the ground with it on the maiden voyage home. The flexco two step is well built, made in the USA, is half as tall when folded with the right stepping distance when extended and half the weight.
I use my RV at least one weekend a month and the new step makes it much more enjoyable.545703

I ordered 2 products from etrailer. The Flexco double step and the Brophy stabilizer clamp. Shipping was fast and the products are just as advertised.
Our camp trailer came with a single step and it was just too high to be comfortable entering and exiting the trailer. Some friends told us about etrailer so I decided to give the website a look. I found exactly what I was looking for and the price was the lowest I found anywhere. I installed the step today and it really made a difference.
The brophy stabilizer clamp did just what I needed it to do. I did have to mount it in the opposite direction because of the way my hitch is attached but the included instructions covered this as being a possibility.
Great prices, fast shipping and products as advertised. It doesn't get any better than that! I will order from etrailer again! 233699

My wife especially likes the two-step approach to the trailer door, much better than the original that could be kinda high off the ground. (We're way past seventy, so...) Trailers are not built to a universal standard so I had to do a bit of drilling to get it mounted, but I am handy with tools.
I like the hefty design. I'm a mechanical design engineer and I am impressed. (Just keep in mind as you travel that it unavoidably rides a little closer to the road. There's no way to design that away.)
It's a fine piece of work.762262

I replaced the OEM single step on my Forest River Evo trailer with this double step. The OEM step was mounted by the sides, to plates that stick down about 8" from the bottom of the trailer, and are welded to the frame of the trailer. This double step has sliding pins that stick out of the sides about 1" and prevent the step from fitting between the trailers mounting plates. I had to cut away a 3" by 10" piece from the bottom of each of the plates to allow the step to be mounted. It looks and works great once mounted, but you should not purchase this step to mount to side mounting plates unless you have the capability to modify the plates.227671

With a little retrofitting, this worked perfectly. My wife can now get in and out of our camper with ease. Thanks so much for all your help on choosing the best product for our needs.377485

It was perfect for what we needed. A little modification on the hook up to the camper itself but I knew that going in. Makes getting in and out so much simpler with that extra step. I thank you and my wife said to tell you it was a knee saver.

Easy to install and a well built replacement for an unbeatable price.
They don't hinge the same way as my old ones, but look so much better!
Notice in the pictures that the hinge bar extends past the step frame on both sides.
On my trailer, these fit within the existing plate mounts. I was not able to use the old bolts from the steps I removed, instead I installed slightly longer ones to complete the installation. Very happy with how these turned out on my trailer. 371569

Steps arrived on time and undamaged. Box in perfect condition. Installed on a 2017 (Green edition) Rpod that had risers installed. Was a tight fit, required some slight tapping to move into position but the tension actually held the steps in place so I could install the bolts. Front bolts perfect but rear holes had to be drilled out so bolts would fit. I knew this going in from other buyers so was not a surprise or a deal breaker. They are heavy duty and fold away in basically the same space as the original steps. Non-skid material is a nice touch. Would have been a "5" if holes lined up perfectly. But then not much in life is perfect.349446
by: Jeri08/24/2015
We purchased the double step, our camper only had the one step and at time it was a HUGE step to get up into our camper. The stairs are awesome. The only problem (which really wasn't a problem for my husband) was the holes did not line up. We ended re-drilling the back holes and had to buy new plow bolts. 221357

We ordered the Flexco Double Rv Steps on 7-7 and received them today (7-09-15), FAST SHIPPING !! We own a 2015 171 Rpod with 4" risers and the 1 step was killing our knees. We this Flexco that had the 26" width that is the same as our 1 step from bracket to bracket and 24" step length. It only took 30 minutes to take old steps off and put the new ones on. The only minor adjustment we had to make was the hole on our camper bracket was to small. We made it bigger and they fit perfectly. Very well made and they glide in an out smoothly and the best part is the walk in and out is easier and no more sore knees!!! Made In USA !!!!!210512
I looked up your Apex by Coachmen qb24 and it appears to have a double step setup below the door so for a 24 inch wide double step with 7-7/8 inches of drop between the steps our best option is the Flexco Manual Step part # SMFP-2100. It's hard finding steps with a shorter drop between stairs but this would be best option. view full answer...
For a set of 2-step Flexco RV manual pull-out steps that are 24-inches wide you can use part # SMFP-2100. This step assembly offers a 350-lb weight capacity and 7-7/8-inches of rise/drop between steps. The 24-inch wide steps are 9-inches deep.
Mounting holes are spaced apart 8-inches front-to-back and 26-1/8-inches left-to-right. view full answer...
The Flexco Manual Pull Out steps part # SMFP-2100 are a double step that have 7-7/8 inches between steps. This should be noticeably smaller between the steps of what you currently have. view full answer...
Trailer makers typically do not maintain details about items like the steps that they install on their RVs so for you to select a 2-step assembly to replace a single-step unit you'll just need to note some basic dimensions.
First, you want to check the size and spacing of the mounting holes on the frame that are used to secure the current steps. Our 2-step assemblies come in 20-inch and 24-inch widths, both shown on the linked page, and the distance between the two steps is also variable.... view full answer...
To determine if manual pull-out steps # SMFP-2100 fit your 2017 Forest River Wildwood you can measure the mounting hole spacing on your existing steps. If they are spaced 24-1/2 inch apart on center left to right and 7 inches on center front to back then these steps will fit. If you have a different measurement let me know what it is.
Another thing to consider is ground clearance. Sometimes when you go to a unit with more steps it can cause ground clearance issues because the new steps... view full answer...
We don't have a way of knowing exactly which steps are currently on your trailer however you can use any that you like and will fit. If you measure the mounting bracket of your current steps you can use that to find a replacement.
For example, the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps # SMFP-2100 have a mounting bolt hole pattern of 24-1/2 inches wide by 7 inches deep. The steps themselves are 24 by 9 inches. view full answer...
You will want to make sure that the dimensions of the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs # SMFP-2100 match up with what you have on your RV.
These steps have mounting base dimensions of 27-5/8 inches wide and 8 inches deep. The mounting bolt hole pattern is 24-1/2 inches wide and 7 inches deep. From the top of the mounting bracket to the bottom of the lower step is 12-17/32 inches. This will give you an idea of how much space you will have.
Keep in mind that these steps can be bolted... view full answer...
The Flexco manual pull out step part # SMFP-2100 will fit your 2017 Keystone Springdale 179QB and most likely would just bolt right to the frame, but worst case scenario you would have to move some mounting brackets around. If you needed outriggers to mount these steps you would want the part # SM-01. These steps are 26 inches wide overall.

Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs - Double - 7-7/8" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - 350 lbs # SMFP-2100 are from Stromberg-Carlson and are Flexco model steps. So in other words they are one in the same. I included some pictures showing dimensions for you. view full answer...
The problem is that the overall measurement at 27-5/8 inches is from the end of the rod that extends out on both sides. The 26-1/8 inches is the dimension of the mounting brackets at the top of the steps.
I have attached a photo with dimension noted of the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps # SMFP-2100 you can check out. view full answer...
The 26-1/8 inches wide at the top is correct and the mounting holes at 24-1/4 x 7 inches are correct for the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs # SMFP-2100. The total width of 27-5/8 inches has to do with the end of the Rod that extends out both sides. I've attached pictures to assist with all the measurements. view full answer...
Since your trailer has the Hickory Double Steps with 9 inches of rise the correct step you would want is the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs - Double - 8" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - 300 lbs # SMFP-2100. These steps are very similar in dimensions for mounting. The exact replacement steps were discontinued. view full answer...
When choosing a replacement set of RV steps, the important measurements to consider are the dimensions of the step's housing that actually bolts to the RV.
For instance, the # SMFP-2100 you referred to has a housing that measures 27-5/8 inches long by 9-7/16 inches tall by 12 inches deep, as shown in the provided photo. If the mounting location on your RV can accommodate the size of the housing, these steps would work great! The best way to determine fit is to measure the housing of your... view full answer...
The # SMFP-2100 Flexco Manual Pull-Out steps aren't a camper-specific item, it can fit many different applications. You can very easily determine if these will replace your existing steps by measuring them. This unit will fit a well that's up to 27-5/8 inches wide and 12 inches deep. If the available space will accommodate them, these steps would work great for you.
I've provided photos showing the dimensions of the step unit.

I looked up picture of your 2019 Forest River HW27K and it appears to have a pull out single or double step so for a replacement the Flexco Manual pull out steps part # SMFP-2100 would work great. view full answer...
The best option we have to replace the single step would be with a double step, the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs part # SMFP-2100 which are offered with 8" rise/drops. I know you are looking for a triple step but this won't be possible without changing out the outriggers since triple steps use the larger 27-1/2" mounting brackets whereas singles and double use the smaller 26". view full answer...

The only possible double step upgrade option we have for a 2018 Lance 1475s is the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs part # SMFP-2100. It looks like the only dimensions that won't match up is the mounting flange bolt spacing which is larger on this double so you will need to drill a few holes is all.

I went through all the reviews and purchase comments for the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs - Double - 8" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - 300 lbs # SMFP-2100 to see if they have the issue you are worried about. I could not find a single issue where someone who bought this item from us had the issue you had.
I am confident there will be no issue with your new steps. I will go check in the warehouse too just to be thorough.
That said if there is any issue, please do not hesitate to contact... view full answer...
The mounting holes on the Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps for RVs # SMFP-2100 are 7" apart on the same side of the bracket and 24-1/2" apart across from each other. I have included a picture showing these measurements as well as a few additional measurements so you can be sure these steps are the correct fit or not. view full answer...
Most single step RV steps are either 20 inches wide or 24 inches wide. So depending on which you have now you could use the part # SMFP-2120 for a 20 inch wide step or part # SMFP-2100 for a 24 inch wide step. view full answer...
The Manual Pull Out Steps part # SMFP-2100 that you mentioned are going to fit your 2011 Palomino Puma 27KFQ only when you use the Lippert Outriggers for Manual and Electric RV Steps # LC301704.
