Check them out.

The pile of parts with steps and rails, etc. looks pretty substantial. Where to you store it when traveling? How long does it take to put the parts together? We have a 5th wheel and have 3 steps but also use an additional portable step with adjustable legs to decrease the distance to the ground for the bottom step. How much is shipping approximately which is added to cost for the port-a-step assembly?

Glow Steps are Great!
We have a 2017 Bullet Premier and had issues with the factory steps. Not only the bouncing, but also the distance between each step was different (short, medium, tall) which bothered my knees. We replaced the factory steps a year ago with the Glow Steps which we love. I would also say we just returned from our local RV show, and about 50% of the new trailers now have the MoRyde steps from the factory. They appear to be quite nice as well.

Made my decision
Finally went with the mor/ryde step above. What a difference! Took about 10 minutes to install. No regrets.

Any of you guys that went with Glowstep on the heavy side? At nearly 300 I need sturdy.

I have a 2×4 cut to fit under the steps. I also have 2 2x4's screwed together for when the steps are high off the ground. Cut them so they fit under the step and cant slide out. Works great and steps are solid.

On my previous rig, I installed a Stromberg Carlson adjustable stair brace. We were very happy with it. But unlike that rig, which had "hollow bottomed" steps, the Keystone steps have integral I-beams across them, making the add-on impossible to install on the bedroom entry steps (the other entry is a SolidStep). As a result, I myself try to use the bedroom entry as little as possible.

This is our Glow Step installation with the optional handrail. Four steps and less are rated 375lbs, five and six steps rated 325lbs. These are solid as a rock and made in the USA as well. https://www.torklift.com/rv/glowstep-revolution

I like the looks of the Lippert and MorRyde but still just using the stock 4 step fold out unit. Gets us in and out safely...and the dirt stays outside when we fold the OEM steps up

We've been using the Lippert steps since we bought this trailer in July and we have had no problem with dirt or debris getting into the trailer.. it takes all of two minutes to run a whisk broom over the steps before picking them up.. As far as that goes... I used the same broom to clean off the old style steps on the old trailer...

I agree with Javi. We keep a small hand broom in the entry area where we can reach it to brush off the stairs before we fold them up. Easy-peasy. I really love how stable these stairs are. I can walk in forward and walk out forward, just like normal household stairs.

Morryde Step
Great for flat camping. I mainly camp on uneven ground where these steps wont work at times. Made these up instead having to put blocks under the existing legs. Didn't like the factory legs fully extended and creating a trip hazard and the leverage on the step. When the original legs are fully extended they started to bend the receiver part of the step. These have 7 inches more height before being extended. Slide them in when I need them. Cant close the door with them in. I would rather have a different step and will eventually change. Don't like all the changing of the leg height. I know there will be a time when the rear of the trailer will be to low and wont be able to deploy the step. With one door at the rear that will be an issue.
