I’m really tempted by them. I really like that you can adjust the run for the situation you’re in.

I was a bit concerned about the sturdiness of them because of the accordion type setup, but they are built very well and everything is thick, no thin metal at all, and as sturdy as any of the fold into the door type. I just couldn't be happier.

We’ve had ours for a couple of years and I still think they’re great. Yes, they were pricey but the Bride loves ‘em. Nuff said.

Nice! We have a 2015 Jayco White Hawk 27DSRL and the factory steps in the rear are very low when in the stowed position. Whenever we go off a high driveway or curb, the step enclosure would "bottom out" and hit the ground. This caused the whole step enclosure to get bent towards the back, which made it hard to open the steps when setting up. Because of that, I purchased the Torklift Glowstep Revolution Uprising (GSRU - Model #A9004) to replace the factory steps. It does not mount under the door, which gives me a ton more clearance room in the back!!! It folds up into the door opening when in the stowed position. I LOVE that feature. I cannot wait to get it and install it :-)

I have had my GloStep Revolution since 2016 and it was when brand new and is now still rock solid. I full time so it has been used continuously for the past 4.5 years.

Two pictures are attached. One of my GloStep at my home base site and the other is a campground in northern Florida where I have overnighted a few times on the way to/from Disney World. This campground is right off of I75 and great for an overnight stay, but the sites are narrow and there is a big elevation change right at the side of the asphalt. It was mentioned in an earlier post about the ability of the GloStep to adjust it's run and in this campground that is a MAJOR thing. The guy that I took this picture of actually had to dig a little bit of dirt to put out his OEM step and my GloStep worked perfectly.

After 6 months of use I could not be happier with mine. They are well worth the price.

Torklift Revolution Uprising on my White Hawk 27DSRL

I finally replaced my factory steps in the rear with Torklift Revolution Uprising steps! I love them. They were easy to install.
