    Just finished installing these steps on my fifth wheel, absolutly amazing. They are solid as a rock. I too chose to go with four steps rather than the three that were on the existing steps and they fit perfectly. The only change that I made was to prep the screen door ahead of time by shifting the door 1/4" up on the hinges and removed the weatherstrip at the bottom of the screen door. That gave me the required 3/8" clearence that the steps require under the screen door without cutting the bottom of the door. And I had to notch out the screen door frame where the flanges of the stairs hook the flange of the rv door frame (this keeps the stairs locked into position when retracted in to the rv). Other than those minor mods installation was a breeze ! Thanks so much for the suggestion and the very helpful and detailed video !

      Does notching out or trimming the screen door let bugs in through the screen door?

    You sir are a life saver. I was just commenting to my father that we needed to do something different with my fathers fifth wheel steps now that my mother is getting up in age and is finding it difficult to navigate on the lose flimsy factory steps. Thanks for all the cool tips and tricks in your videos. BTW awesome truck!

    Put mine on a year ago. Love them. Donated my old set to a buddy. No need to waste gas hauling the old steps around. Made a nice sheet metal cover for the hole and covers it nicely.

    Those steps are awesome. I’m a 320 pound man and these are fantastic. Morryde has come out with a double step for units that sit lower to the ground with two steps. Morryde came to our shop last two weeks and demoed them for the dealers and wow. The guys knew their stuff and hay quick answers. No checking on anything. So looking forward to having these on our camper. As well as the heavy duty shackles and grease bolts (wet bolts).

    After a lot of searching for alternatives I bought the little giant 3 safety steps. They are sturdy and are like house steps. They fold up for storage. After my electric steps wouldn't go back up at 5 am when we were leaving on vacation I had to literally cut them off.

  • @wrodney5
    @wrodney5 7 років тому +3

    What perfect timing. I have been researching travel trailers recently. I have narrowed my list down to three. One brand has these steps available from the factory as an option. Now that I see how easy it would be to install them if not available from the factory, it becomes less of a concern. Thanks for the video.

    Love the new steps. I have these on my fifth wheel and i what we do is put some 2x4's supporting the last step into the rv because what we found was walking up and down the steps over a period of like 3-4 months caused the threshold to bend and when we flipped the steps up to travel, the door wouldn't close with the steps in. I love these steps and i'm not complaining about them, it's just something i noticed about them.

    @Will-bp2yc 6 років тому +3

    These steps are ok until you are in a tight spot. These steps are ok until your campsite is not level, ( steps can’t reach the ground.) These steps are ok until someone closes it withe screen closed,( bends everything.) These steps attached to the latch with very thin gauge metal(frame). Then these steps are not lined up right and lean excessively in the rig. Also latch no longer works right,( won’t latch positively). So when a salesman with a no it all attitude who have never camped in his life is selling you snake oil, don’t assume you are going to be getting something great. It does have a solid feel, but if you are not 300 lb. and don’t want to swing these long heavy steps at every rest stop, then just get Lippert s
    4 step folding steps. They are used on Heartlands Landmark, ( nice rig)!

    Our 2018 Jayco Pinnacle 36KPTS came with the MORryde Step-Above system. At first we were not sure we were going to like them, but after using them just a couple times we absolutely love them. Very stable, no more carrying an extra step with us due to different ground levels, and most of all my Wife even with her Nero-muscular condition has no problems getting in and out of the Fiver like she did with our old unit with the 3 step system.
    One thing that I am not sure of is our system has a gas assist shock that keeps them from crashing down if you lose control of them when deploying or stowing. Don't know if it is an option or specific to Jayco. It really does work well.

    Another great upgrade is the MoRyde cargo tray. They come in various widths and lengths and sure make it a lot easier to reach things, such as power cables, water hoses, etc. Mine can slide out either side of my pass through. I had my dealer install mine before I picked up my coach as they are a tad heavy (about 100lbs for 33”x 88”).

    @newdles0028 7 років тому +1

    WAIT! Before you cut the screen door, have you tried playing with the adjustment on the feet? I have those same steps on my Montana and what I've found is that when I pull my trailer to a new location with the feet still adjusted out for the previous location I was at, the screen door and sometimes the door itself will rub and not close. It could also be from the trailer not being level too, or just a combination of the two. Pretty much that flat sheet metal that bridges over the seal plate might be kicked up just a little, but it'll be enough to keep the door from functioning. Just something to try if ya didn't already.

    This was the the first upgrade I did to my Mesa Ridge TT. Love them. Didn't have to modify a thing. 15 minute install. I did notice you did not install the outermost 2 screws on the hinge plate. The inside screws holes are elongated to help with placement and alignment. My instructions called for the outside screws to lock down the stairs.

    @dropthepost7803 3 роки тому

    Keep in mind, any dirt on the steps will end up inside. So Maybe good for those without kids or boondocking . And doing lots of boondocking the exterior fold steps are the best for us. When we camp long term I have supports to help with any bounce and less stress on the camper.

  • @silaslongshot941
    @silaslongshot941 4 роки тому

    No doubt they are very solid. However some folks find that when they park on a site with a concrete pad / patio, the steps won't go down far enough to close their door because the pad is 2 or 3 inches higher than the ground the rig sits on. So, the work around for that is they have to ramp up the tires on that side of the RV to make it tall enough for the steps to go down fully. Also don't forget to sweep them off before you put them up, or the dirt gets dumped onto your floor.

    This was by far the best upgrade we did to our 5th wheel. We are full timers so they get a lot of use. We have never had a problem with them. Our 5th wheel has two doors but we only replaced one set of steps because we were worried we might not have clearance to lower the steps in some situations, but it has never been a problem. So we plan to replace the other steps soon..

    It's amazing how this modification is great to the modifier without ever being used.

      The vertical metal on the top step blocks the factory light on my Bighorn. I put LED strip lights on the frame of the trailer. I bought the lights and controller on EBay for about $15.00. Clean the frame with alcohol. Get some Scotch double edge foam tape from an auto parts store. Don’t trust the sticky on the light strips. I wired the controller to the switched side of the battery disconnect switch buss. Be sure to observe correct polarity.

    Did you consider installing the optional handrail ?

    Nice, great video. Can you tell me exactly what the distance is to the end of the steps are when folding up or down from your trailer? The reason I ask is because I store my RV in a covered area and I'm wondering if the steps will hit the side of the barn when folding up or down. Thanks

    This step came with our new travel trailer. Wife and I have mixed feelings on it. Different brand. Three steps. Wonder if we could use a four step. We always have to extend the feet to the ground. It is, yes, rock solid.

    I'm going to check there website. I have an older 2007 cardinal when you open the door on the 5th wheel it's has like a step built into the floor. Curious if they make a system that will fit mine

      I just installed them on my 2008 Cardinal. I had to raise the screen door on the hinges (no big deal) and shave down the lip on the bottom plate of the door. That gave me the clearance necessary. My wife loves them.

    Question: Are the steps easily removable via pins, etc., in case one wants to use a custom patio, etc., such as might be used at a long-term stay situation. Thank you in advance for your answer.

    You had stated that a “link” would be post below, however I’m not seeing it. Did you post it?
