I ordered a set of Torklift folding steps that arrived today but was disappointed to see that they have to be lifted off and stored every time we travel. This will be a big hassle everytime we stop for lunch, a potty break or whatever! Has anyone gotten around this by attaching these particular steps or similar steps permanently? pulsar • View posts Lewisville, NC Moderator Joined: 12/30/2001 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 08/30/10 03:33pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Moved from Forum Technical Support.

We use the nicer portable ladder at the camp spot. Can you add a simple flip step? gtkato • View posts Aurora, CO Full Member Joined: 01/15/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 08/30/10 05:02pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I use the same Tork lift Glow steps and mounted them semi-permanent. I can remove the Z brackets and lock nuts if I want to remove them. They ride perfect resting on my reciever hitch.

I have the 5 step, the dog, the 6 yr old and my wife all have it much easier now. I took a spill last year at night trying to negotiate the 4' step ladder that was our other acess while the camper was on the truck, now it's all easy going night or day.

I talked to the supervisor at Palomino and asked how much weight it could hold. He said he weighed 250# and always stands on it. So instead of using it for the genset, I just mounted it under my door. It is about 25" X 18" and is just right for stepping in an out of the TC. A short ladder will get me to it when the TC is still on the truck.
