🚨HEADS UP!🚨 The Lippert Solid Step shown in this video is a next generation prototype and will be available for purchase in early 2024, so if you purchase before then you WILL receive the PRIOR generation version of the step, which I’ve covered extensively in this video: ua-cam.com/video/lhY3v1S6lAI/v-deo.html
My only contribution to these steps is be wary of the strut assist. Mine broke after three years. The strut ends snapped during travel and could not be repaired. They would have to be replaced. This caused extra effort to raise the steps, and with no strut to hold the steps up, I had to bungee cord them to the bunks causing undo stress on the bunk ladder. Go with the non assist. They are light and easier to use.
I was looking to buy the Lippert solid steps and getting the lift assist kit with it, however I was dissappointed to find out the lift assist is no longer being offered and I could not verify if i would be receiving the newer revised model or the predecessor version. From what i can tell the stickers changed from yellow to red writing - but even though some websites show pictures of both - I cannot be sure its the updated verion. I cant believe they would not sell the lift assist anylonger, i wonder if they are waiting till the new model comes out?
@@reygabrielgarcia3473 that is definitely a possibility and seems to make the most sense. I haven’t had any direct contact with Lippert in quite some time though so unfortunately I don’t have any additional info for you on this.
Hi Chris. Watched both of your videos on the steps and you are a wealth of information. Do the steps lock into the door frame? If so does it cause any damage while traveling? Great video. These step look like a game changer for Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you.
Hey there. I’m glad you found the videos helpful! Yes, the steps do latch into the door frame. It’s doesn’t necessarily cause “damage” but I would say there is some slight scuffing inside the doorframe. Nothing noticeable or bad looking though. And you’re very welcome. Thanks for watching :)
Great videos! Your first one made me follow you and watch this one! I’m looking for help. My inner door frame is not quite 24 inches. My dual step stairs are 24 inches wide. Will the Lippert model 733931 work? Folding into that door frame looks to be an issue unless the Lippert steps are less than 24 inches wide. I haven’t gotten any answers yet.
Thanks so much! From what I gather, you will need a doorway that is at least 25" wide for the 733931. There is a 713662 that is made for 24” doors, but if yours is less than 24” I’m not sure that would even work. What camper do you have?
My (2021) rig came with the Lippert with no assist and the pin leg adjustment. When I looked for the assist feature, I could not find it, So I ordered a MoRryde and then found out about the kit for the Lippert. To late
Yeah, there are a lot of options out there and it can definitely be a bit confusing. Hopefully videos like this can help others know what’s out there. But you can’t go wrong with the MORryde StepAbove! Great set of steps.
we had the latest moryde steps, and now have ordered a new RV with the lippert steps, ...if the new ones come with that quick release for the legs we will be happy, if not, we will probably go back to moryde. That is the deal breaker for us, the legs with pins are just not the happiest.
Anything lippert Is a no for me, being a full timer they just are not up to par for me. Their products are great and are up to full timing however I've had at least 15 orders from lippert sent with half my order or missing parts then the missing parts are later shipped to a campground I'm no longer at, all while their phone support says "they'll go out tomorrow we apologize" when in reality they are backordered another 2 weeks or something. As mentioned I have not had 1 single order received on time or whole from lippert out of 15 so far. If there is an alternative to lippert I'm using that.
Wow! Sorry to hear you’ve had those experiences. Customer service is definitely just as important as offering a quality product and if I was in your position I’d feel the same way. It does seem that Lippert may have some work to do on the packaging and logistics side of things. Appreciate you sharing your story and thoughts on this!
Great video! I’ve used both step on different trailers and as of right now I prefer MORryde since it has the quick adjust for the legs but the new prototype of the Solid Step looks cool as well. Definitely pros and cons for both.
I like the Lippert step because of the larger surface areas, especially the top platform. I see the Lippert and the Morryde reviewed had quick release latches on the support legs. However Lippert is saying they don't offer that anymore and have gone back to the removable pins. At least their customer service agent on the phone told me that. How can I get a triple step with the quick release option?
So here we are halfway through 2024 and still no upgraded model of the Lippert steps?? I can live without the quick release lever for the adjustable legs (although it seems like a good idea). But I do need to have the quick release hinges since I don't always have 4 ft. of space available to swing the 4 step version up and down again. My RV storage lot packs us in pretty close together... I will need to be able to remove these easily just to be able to get into the RV. I will just use a portable step when I need to do that I guess. Definitely one downside to this type of step. Gonna call Lippert Monday to see what's going on with the upgrades that you showed on your video...
@@AroundTheSunWeGo Will do! I def want this upgrade before my next RV outing if possible, but really want to make sure I have the latest version if available...Stay tuned!
@flash8051 I still don't see them on their website. I emailed them back in March asking what the status was. The rep that emailed me back said all they are being told is sometime this year. She also mentioned too check back mid year. I just sent a follow-up email so we'll see what transpires. I would love to get my hands on a set and have been holding out since this video, lol. I may have no choice but to go with morryde. Can't hold out forever and I definitely don't want the pinned version
I just bought a new Solitude with Morryde strut assist stairs. I absolutely hate these stairs for permanent RV ing. We are at a camp for long periods of time. Used to just be able to take stairs out quickly and roll up outside solid steps. Do I have to disassemble the entire Morryde unit to take out the stairs? What a stupid system.
When or why do you usually need to remove the stairs at a long-term spot? And yes, the strut-based version would require the entire unit be unscrewed from the floor and wall for removal. Only the version without the assist has the quick release feature.
@@AroundTheSunWeGo the Morryde stairs are to small/steep for my dogs. Although I think it’s a great system for weekend getaways. Being full time I remove the stairs and have a built platform staircase pulled up to the rig. I didn’t realize that I had to remove the whole unit, screws etc. removing all the screws will only weaken the system over time, stripping them etc. if I had know, I would have had them remove the strut assist stairs and install a regular set. The weight is not that big off a deal. As it is now, we or the dogs always end up hitting that strut assist guard. I really don’t think these new stairs were thought out very well.
@@AroundTheSunWeGo Grand Design Reflection 337RL (5th Wheel). I didn’t like to Solid Step being inside the camper while traveling. Torklift stays out and is solid.

Appreciate the feedback! May I ask which brand you had?
Great job explaining the difference between the two..
Thanks so much! Hope it was helpful.

The rise is to tall for the senior citizens on both companies.
@@rmarine7939 if you have mobility issues, there are other options, such as “port-a-steps”
Lippert saying it's going to be 2025 now for the release date guess they have to clear out old stock first
Interesting! Where did you hear this from?
Lippert customer service I really want to replace my factory ones not sure if I'll wait
@@lancewood7943 oh okay. Thanks for the update!
@aroundthesunwego, can the quick adjust legs be added/replace the manual pin adjust legs?
No, it’s a completely different design.
Still waiting for lippert new release hopfully soon

MORryde, all day long. Lippert can't do anything right.
You’re not the only one with that opinion unfortunately 😖
For Geezers like myself all the steps could be much closer together..Lippert is much better than moride step above.
I can definitely understand that! It can be quite a climb to get up into the bigger rigs.
Is this the MORryde StepAbove Gen 2? I see that the Gen 2 has black painted feet, and was launched in mid 2021
The set in this video is the Gen 2. In my experience the Gen 2 doesn’t have black painted feet. Our Gen 1 MORryde set did have black painted feet.

That’s a great question. I’ll make sure to reach out if I ever see that version available for purchase.
Do you think they Morryde handrail could be installed on the Lippert steps?
No, not without modification. Two totally different designs.
The new design of Lippert steps are really cool. Any idea when they will be available and can you get your name on a list when they do.
I’ll give you a shout if I hear of anything like that!
Say WHAAT?
That’s right! Which do you pick Joe?
@@AroundTheSunWeGo the lippert step because it has longer depth
@@joesnow93 Nice!
Wish Morryde had a kit to add “assist “ to the steps that came on my rig
I understand Randy! Definitely pros and cons to MORryde’s combo packaging.

@@kruijsm I see. Yeah, definitely think they were designed more for regular traveling than stationary use.
Torklift steps were the best decision ever for us. It has all of the pros mentioned in the video with zero of the cons…perfect for us.
Nice! Haven’t had a chance to try out the Torklift steps yet. What type of rig do you have?
