We put the Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps on our 337RSL about six weeks ago. We are out and about with our RV so they get used everyday. We love them. My wife has said several time that she is glad I bought them. She has no problem with pulling them out, nor with folding them up.

We have the solid steps & are use to them. We store our trailer at home so don't have the problem with tight spaces there. We have always wiped, or swept off our steps (folding or otherwise) when we stow them & have a landing mat inside the trailer & a grass mat that I fold up under the stowed steps that catch any thing I missed. Get very little crud inside of the trailer, even in rain & snow events. Once folded up there is really no where for them to go with the door closed, as they are against the jam. They do take some getting use to, but we are not averse to change, & the dog loves 'em. Haven't noticed a problem in rest areas or wide spots, but I could see this as a problem at times. At 67 I'm still young enough to lift the 20-25 lbs. But this too may be a problem later on because of the abuse to my back when I was younger.

We looked at both the Glow Steps and the Step Above. With the DW being vertically challenge, our driveway having a slope and the storage lot being rather tight for winter storage, the Glow Steps could check all the boxes.
With the coach at home in the sloped driveway, we determined the DW could not reach and deploy the steps safely. The close quarters of the storage lot also did not permit the deployment of the Solid Step.
The Lippert and Morryde products seem to have a marginally more solid feel but for the aforementioned reasons we chose the Glow Steps. We have not been disappointed in our decision. They provide the additional step with the shorter rise, remove the bounce from the OEM aluminum steps and feel very solid under foot. We have not found a campsite (driveway either) that the adjustability has not been able to accommodate.Barb, Lyle and the 3 four-legged kids

My wife and I were leaning towards the Lippert steps, and had even ordered two sets. Both arrived damaged, so we gave up the quest. We reviewed the Glow Steps and really liked them. I put a set on two weeks ago, and everyone who has walked on them so far, likes them a bunch. Very solid (and I'm not a small guy), and the dogs are a little more at ease with them vs the factory steps. They were a little more than what I had paid for the Lipperts, but I like that I don't have a gap that I have to try and cover from where the factory steps were, and that they are easy in and out. Great product, easy install.

X2 on the Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps on my 2016 303. Made that as part of the deal to install the steps. Was part of my birthday present to myself. Had them for 2 yrs now would not have an RV without them.

We installed the Torklift on our 367BHS. The bottom step on the factory step was quite a bit off the ground. Very easy to install, much more stable.

I love the Torklift but wish they would have a sale on these things!!! They are pricey for sure but do seem to be quite nice. I may have to wait until a rally special price...

Look for an oportunity to try the steps you have in mind before purchasing. Any of the four step versions with legs to the ground will be more solid under foot. We thought we would want this . . . until we tried it at the Rally. With the standard 3 step, we can both reach the door handle to open the door before stepping onto the first step. With the four step, it was up one step, open the door, down one step, swing the door, then up the steps. We decided to stay with the OE steps.

We also installed the Torklift Revolution Glowsteps on our 2018 307MKS. In addition we added the safe step nylon insert at the back of the steps so our small dogs would not possibly slide between the steps. My wife has also thanked me for installing these as a replacement to the stock aluminum steps. She likes that they are lighter to raise and lower along with the stability of the adjustable pads on the lowest step. We also installed the Stromberg Carlson Lend A Hand Extended RV Handle; (https://www.strombergcarlson.com/rv-...ed-assist-rail) which helps with the longer steps.
