I was just going to start a topic about this, is there a way to temporarily remove them, in between trips ours is at a seasonal site where we have a deck and I am concerned how easily they can be removed or disconnected.

They can be removed but they don't take up much space. Back out eight screws and lift it out

If you have room for the slide to be out you have room for the steps

Do you have to remove the factory steps?

On mine I did. I could have modified them slightly and left them in but I'm going to use that space for something else

I have a 2016 321RSTS and was thinking about adding them to our unit. They don't seem too hard to install. Does anyone know what model it takes for a 321?? Thanks in advance..

Great job! Looks like you got the handrail too. I’ve been considering adding the steps to mine as well. Where did you end up buying from?

I installed the steps on our 361REQS in about 30 minutes. Easy job. I did not need to remove my steps to install but I did as I had no need for them and they just added weight. The Moryde steps are really solid and easy to use.

And if you remove your factory steps, Morryde has a replacement storage box solution as well for that space...........

These steps certainly look sturdy and the adjustable feet would be helpful at many campsites. The extra storage space when the old steps are removed could be handy. And my experience with Morryde is that they build quality stuff.

But, I'd like to find out how difficult is it to operate the steps, both to lower them and to stow them. Does it require more strength or flexibility to do than common steps? Other than the cost, are there any negatives to these steps that need to be considered?

Also, is the optional hand rail strong?

I was at a overnight RV site on I75 in Florida back in the spring where the pull through site was perfectly level, but had a major incline on the passenger side starting right at the side of the site. I mean right at the side of the parking area. There was no room to move to the left to allow more room on the right. How could this step allow anything but a very uneven situation since there would be zero way for it to fully deploy.

3' out from the side of my tires the incline was up approx 18" vertically.

We're often on sites with an incline near the door, too. In the videos of this system I've seen, it seem like the adjustable feet have 8 or 10 inches of adjustment. Which means that some sort of blocking under the feet would be necessary to keep the foot treads horizontal in the case of an 18" drop.

All that said, I'm really tired of bouncy steps that do not feel all that stable - even after I've repaired the rivets that are loose and pulling out.

I'm interested in learning how easy - or difficult - the MorRyde steps are to use.

I think the current model is as easy as it gets: just pull them down and adjust the feet. The current model is counter-balanced so they can be pulled down and put up with one hand, and can even hang mid air. No strength needed.

The original model did not have any counter balance assist and required a firmer hand to deploy and store. You can tell the older model because it has a twist lock mechanism in the center to keep it in place once retracted inside the camper.

Some people complain that storing the steps inside the unit can bring in dirt; and if you keep your unit at a seasonal site, you may have to work around any sort of deck you might have already built; and people worry about space along side your camper for pulling the steps down should you be in a tight parking lot, or parked on a hiway shoulder.

But the reviews are hugely positive for this design, far outweighing the complaints.

Is it a counter balance weight of some sort, or a spring, or gas support, or ??
