In this video I cover the pros & cons of the Lippert SolidStep vs the MORryde StepAbove step systems along with Lippert’s Lift Assist kit and MORryde’s Strut Assist features. I also cover my removal of the MORryde system and installation experience of the Lippert system.

I'd like to thank Lippert for providing their Solid Step and Lift Assist Kit free of charge in exchange for my honest feedback on the product!

🟠 HOW TO WORK REMOTELY FROM ANYWHERE

----------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------

If you're looking to upgrade your RV entry steps, two of the most popular offerings on the market today are the Lippert Solid Step and the MORryde StepAbove step, which is actually what came installed on our rig from the factory.

At first glance you're not going to notice much difference between the two. They're both going to give you increased weight capacity and increased stability. They're both constructed from lightweight high-quality aluminum. They're both stowed inside on travel days so they're exposed to the elements a lot less. And they both have adjustable independent legs that work great on uneven terrain.

The #1 difference between these two models is going to be the step width and step depth. The 2nd difference is weight capacity. The 3rd difference is the ease of leg adjustment. 4th is the way in which the steps and the assist features are marketed and packaged. 5th is the way in which the steps are mounted to the rig. And the 6th difference is the performance of the assist features.

At the end of the day, after having both units installed and using them for some time, I'd say the Lippert Solid Step is the winner.

The wider and deeper steps are the main reason for the win, but the ease of foot adjustment is a huge bonus. And while I definitely prefer the smaller footprint and smoother operation of MORryde's strut assist feature over Lippert's lift assist, it's not a big enough deal to take the win.

So if I had the old, traditional-style step and I was looking to upgrade I would definitely choose the Lippert Solid Step.

This is your first video for youtube ever!? Dude.. you killed it.. great job on this!

[johnawolfjr]

Nailed the comparison. Just what I needed to hear. Absolutely one of the most informative, well done, professional videos I've ever watched! Great job!

[swochap]

Outstanding! Hard to believe this is your first video. I’m considering replacing the original floating steps on my Winnebago Micro Minnie. Your comparison and installation information anticipated and answered all my questions. Well done bro!

[sandybostrom]

Seriously can’t believe this is your 1st YouTube video. Looks like you’ve been doing it awhile. Great content too! Keep ‘em comin’!

[mikenewton]

First YouTube video? Great Job! Look forward to what comes next.

[sueoleary]

Great comparison! And a VERY well done video. I would imagine your videos will begin to gain more views in short-order!

[tstillman]

Very good information and well presented.
Good luck with your future VLOG.

[bobfrey]

A very clear and easy to understand presentation. The information made it clear that I will buy the Lippert .Thanks

[louf]

That was a great first video. I definitely got a lot of information from it. And you have a great presence, easy to understand and your video editing was top notch - like you've done it a hundred times. Looking forward to more RV content from you.

[ryvysong]

🎉1st YouTube.🥳 Thank you. No don't have an RV yet it's great that you shared the knowledge of a better step system.

[billfeeser]

Great video, straight forward, simple explanations, and good shots of what you were doing. Thanks, really helped me decide on which of the two I will purchase.

[TheCondoInRedondo]

Wow! What a debut. Excellent production quality for a noob. You really studied/prepared well.

[jojoe]

Honestly I’d like to see you do a video on the lock box too. You did a great job buddy.

[dennismartin]

One point is that the new Morryde steps have a larger top step. We have had both.
Very informational.

[troyklassen]

I am not sure how much better you could get, as this was an awesome presentation. Great all around info on installation at just the right pace, two thumbs up.

[KenDerrenbacker]

I agree with David Stillson! Excellent job

[ericskelton]

Great job on your video; it's hard to believe it's your first. 🤙

[Marvin-fply]

Thank you for helping me decide on which step to purchase. I was trying to make a good decision due to the cost and being retired it had to be right. So keep up the great work, I subscribed and thumbs up. Looking for more to come.

[larskent]

Outstanding job. Thanks for making this video. It addressed all the questions I needed answered to decide which way to go.

[tonydeleo]

Hi Chris, sounds like that when you go Lippert with the optional assist package you end up with a few spare parts. I would like to see a video on removing old steps and replacing them with storage locker. Great video, thanks.
