Added Glow Step Revolution to RV

Purchased Torklift's Glow Step Revolution for the RV and we installed them yesterday. Purchased part #A8004 from eTrailer for $641.99. Shipping was only about three days, they were well packaged and arrived safely. From start to finish, taking our time, the DW and I did it in about 2.5 hours. First we remove the old steps. Pretty straight forward. 4-9/16" nuts on carriage bolts. Had to sawzall one bolt out because it was cross threaded during install! After old step removal there are two plates with holes in the 27 3/4" apart attached to the RV that the new steps attach to. We put them in & out of position a couple times to make sure of fit. Our opening is 27 3/4". The steps are 27 1/2". So, we needed to take up 1/8" on each side with a spacer washer we supplied. (I think there is a spacer kit Torklift sells, if you know you need it) We also substituted there 3/4" bolts with 1 1/2" bolts because the 3/4" bolts, after installing 2 flat washers, 1 lock washer and the nut, they were too short. Easy install, sturdy and we think they will be a good addition.

I did mine about 4 years ago. It was by far the the best addition to my rig I have done hands down.

I installed these maybe 3 years back. Went from a 3 step factory set to a 4 step Glow Step. The Bride thanks me frequently for it. Very stable and has enough adjustments. ‘Nuf said.

I am on the fence about making the move to these. I know it's what I want and the more posts / reviews I read the more I want them...
