Not all RV steps are created equal

Yes, these are manual, folding RV steps, but when compared to traditional travel trailer, 5th wheel and camper stairs, the similarities end there.

Whether you own a newer or older RV, getting in and out of unstable, bouncy or road-worn steps can be an adventure on its own. Not to mentioning worrying about kids or older travelers navigating a rickety, lopsided stair climb every time they need to go in and out of the RV.

Solid Step helps to restore the peace of mind you should have when it comes to your entryway stairs. With the added stability and safety, you and your loved ones can feel as confident going up and down your RV steps as you do with your stairs at home.

Plain and simple, the Solid Step makes getting in and out of your RV easier, safer and more convenient — plus, storing it and lowering it for use is a breeze. It's also one of the only step assemblies on the market that offers optional add-on accessories like the Entry Assist Handrail and Lift Assist Kit.

How to measure for Solid Step

Two quick measurements are all you'll have to take to find the right Solid Step for your RV.

  1. Measure the height from the ground to your entry door threshold.
    • 22"-28" = Solid Step Premium Double
    • 27"-36" = Solid Step Premium Triple
    • 34"-44" = Solid Step Premium Quad
  2. Measure inside edge to inside edge of your entry door frame — rounding up to the nearest even number. This will determine if you need the 26" or 30" Solid Step assembly.
    • 26" Solid Step® (fits entry widths 25" - 28.9") and 30" Solid Step (fits entry widths 29" - 36")

What our customers are saying about Solid Step RV entry steps

Robert N. | Verified Buyer  | 5 star rating

This unit was easy to install and works great.

William P. | Verified Buyer  | 5 star rating

Installation went well. The steps are great and do as advertised. The larger platform at the top makes it easier for entry with two large dogs trying to get into the 5th wheel or out.

Make it Your Own.

With multiple add-on accessories ranging from handrails to storage boxes, the Solid Step gives you the freedom to upgrade your RV's entry steps, whenever you want

Lift Assist Kit for Solid Step®

Need a lift?

In efforts to make one of our best products perform even better, we've added our gas strut, Lift Assist technology to our already one of a kind Solid Step stairs. Now, one kit is all it takes to get you in and out of your RV or trailer easier and safer than ever. With a single finger, campers of all ages and capabilities can lift their steps up and lower them down, effortlessly.

No more unfolding your stairs, step by step. No more straining to lift them back into storage. Simply pull your steps up or down and let the gas struts guide them into locking or ground position.

Solid Step® Storage Box

Now that your old steps are gone, why not gain some extra secure storage space?

The Solid Step Storage Box fits in the void created when traditional RV folding steps are replaced by the Lippert Solid Step. The storage box can be mounted onto the chassis of the trailer under the Solid Step assembly. The pre-assembled storage box is made of powder-coated steel, has a sealed lock and two keys. The box can hold items weighing up to 100 lbs.

Solid Step® All-Weather Floor Tray

Life on the open road can get messy!

Stowing the Solid Step in its upright storage position can leave your RV's floor vulnerable to falling dirt and water. The All-Weather Floor Tray neatly captures unwanted debris and keeps floors spick and span. It doubles as a handy place to store dirty shoes or to place pet dishes, stopping dirt and water from invading the RV living space.
