08:48 Thoughts about Lippert
We installed the new Lippert Solid Steps on the camper. Our camper came with the Morryde Step Above with the three-step system.
We have had some problems with our steps being long enough, especially when camping on a bank at the water. We had previously resolved this with some wooden blocks and a platform stool with adjustable feet. However, with our recent suspension upgrades, we gained about 4" of lift so I'm assuming that these problems would be worse. So we could use a couple extra inches... but who couldn't. lol

I actually haven't had any issues yet but everywhere we have been has been level since the change. I had started doing some research about replacing my 3 step morryde system with a quad step. This way I could eliminate the extra platform step that we take around in the storage for those situations.

Since the only steps I have tried are the Morryde steps that came with the camper I reached out to Lippert to see if they would want to provide a set of steps for me to review and compare to the Morryde. They sent me this quad step for an honest review. During my research the quad step at Lippert is suggested with a floor height of 35 to 44". My Threshold is 38" off the ground. The only other option is that the stair comes in two widths. Due to the width of our door, I had to order the narrow set that is 26".
So let's look at the pros and cons of the fold-out steps. Both the Morryde and the Lippert steps share these pros and cons. After this, we will discuss the differences between them. The Pros are obviously that the steps don't bounce and are very solid. This is especially helpful for us larger people. The construction of both of these steps are top-notch. The cons of this style of steps are the fold-in aspect. This can bring a lot of dirt, rocks, and water inside the rig if you aren't careful as when you fold them up, anything that is on the top of the steps just dumps right in the floor when you close them.

Let's compare the two steps. To be completely transparent this is the newest version of the Lippert Step and probably not the newest version of the Morryde Step, but it's the only one that I have any experience with. Obviously, there is a major difference between these two and that is the length. They are both constructed well and are very strong. The main differences are the size of the top step. The Morryde top step is the same as the rest of the steps, but the Lippert top step is larger. It's more of a platform on the top. The other main difference is the adjustment.

So far these steps are holding up great. I can see that we could have the opposite problem if we have a site that goes uphill at the steps because the bottom step is pretty low to the ground. But I've only had that happen like once in all the places we've stayed at. It is usually sloping downward to help with drainage if it's not level.

Great job on the step comparison video. It's irony I guess that we have our new step video coming out on Sunday as well. Great minds think alike. - Kyle

We had a little step stool that we carried with us and used every time when we had our class C. I think this will be a great upgrade! Lynn and Danny

Two items that stood out to me when I upgraded to the Lippert design, the larger top step is very reassuring as you step into or out of the RV. The other is the Lippert's legs are bit more encased in the stair stringer allowing them to be less of a trip hazard as they do not extend as far beyond the bottom step as in the MORryde system.

I have the solid step. I like the wider TOP Step much safer👍🇺🇲

The only way I would get them is if they are free like yours. 👎
