Torklift GlowStep Original folding RV stairs are offered with 6-inch-deep or 8-inch-deep aluminum treads, both 20 inches wide. Choosing the correct step count depends on the height from the camper entrance to the ground when parked. The tread-depth and weight-capacity differences also matter; the larger GlowStep Revolution and Uprising systems are different designs.

Manufacturer installation and size references

Torklift's GlowStep Original model chart identifies each stair length, 6-inch and 8-inch tread dimensions, entry-height range, mounting bracket and separate GlowGuide capacity. See the official application guide with mounting and collapsed dimensions (PDF) for installed fit and service accessories.

Check the manufacturer's installation instructions and camper structural mounting point before fitting the universal surface-mount bracket.

Which step depth is right?

6-inch-deep family — A7500 series

A narrower tread front to back, with a 20-inch width. Four-step models carry 325 lb without the GlowGuide; five- and six-step models carry 275 lb without it. The handrail changes the specified rating only when installed according to Torklift's instructions.

8-inch-deep family — A7800 series

Two additional inches of tread depth for more foot area. Four-step models carry 350 lb without GlowGuide and five- or six-step models carry 300 lb without it. Do not treat these as the same-size replacement for the 6-inch series.

Measure your camper before ordering

Measure from the top of the finished entry-step mounting area to level ground with the camper supported at its normal loading height. Compare that entry height to the model chart, then check the 20-inch-wide surface bracket, installation clearance and the folded step height in the original application guide. Mounting to the RV must carry the full specified load.

Torklift provides optional accessories including GlowGuide A7620, Add-A-Step A7501/A7801 and the All Terrain Landing Gear. These are separately identified accessories, not assumed to be included with every complete stair set. If adding a step or handrail, consult the installation instructions for the correct series.

Safe setup and storage

Deploy the steps evenly, secure the mounting arrangement and check footing before use. The stairs should not hang from an unsuitable bumper or unsupported trim. Inspect hinges and fasteners periodically, and retract and secure the assembly before travel. Different camper mounting options, such as tailgate or Stow N' Go brackets, require their own installation instructions.

For a steel folding coach-entry assembly with a different bracket pattern, compare the Stromberg Carlson SMFP manual-step guide. Browse RV and truck camper entry steps for other options.
