New MORryde Entry Steps

[dblr]

I was on a Cedar Creek tour last week and they said starting Monday they will be on all new units off the line, standard item.

We bought the Torklift Revolution Glowsteps and are very happy with them. Our original steps were almost unusable. We think they were bent somehow. But even at that, they felt as though they were going to collapse.

 

I have rheumatoid arthritis and the 2 steps to the bathroom and bedroom became wearing after a day or two. My husband remodeled the stairs and made 3 shorter steps instead of the 2 large risers. It's much easier for me to go up and down now. He also hinged the step so we gained some storage space. Win- win!

Guess I'm kind of like the truck stop, LOL.

 

I store my trailer next to my house There is NOT adequate space to use the MORryde steps.

 

My question is - can the steps be removed by pulling pins (or?) and use the factory steps - then replace them when

I'm "on the road".

 

If not fabricated to do same - can I make my own modification/s to do that?

(without reversing the installation process, removing screws, etc.)

 

I have watched the installation video - which unfortunately doesn't have any close-ups of the mounting plate for

the steps.

 

Thanks again for the input.

MORryde. (yes I am aware of the other mfgrs).

 

Still trying for an answer to the above.

 

Quick and easy to remove to use factory 3-step - or - is it necessary to "reverse" the entire mounting procedure?

You'll have to reverse the entire mounting procedure. If space is tight where you park the RV and you don't have at least 5 feet of clearance between the RV and the house, these steps are not for you.

I think they would be great and the price is good, thanks for the info. going to get us some. Thanks again.

Are these the same steps that Excel fifth wheels with the entrance on the slide out was installing?

Nope. Those are completely different. The Excel stairs, when closed, rode on the outside of the door. The Mor/Ryde stairs ride in the inside of the door. rockin'

I had sent this question to MORryde -due to the limited entry side clearance where I store my 5th- and received the

following reply from Eric Obregon at MORryde [Eric.Obregon@morryde.com]:

 

 

"Thanks for your letter. The removal process is very simple and straightforward. All you need to do is remove the 'jaw'

from the bracket on the door [door or floor?] and store the steps wherever you chose to do so. The doors [his typo, should be 'stairs'] are lightweight so removing and installing them can be done in a breeze.

 

You do *not* [asterisks are mine] need to remove hardware, screws, etc., in order to remove the steps.

Please let me know if you have any other questions I can answer for you"

 

***************************************************************************************************************************************************

 

I'll ask him to clarify 'bracket on the door" - possibly he means the bracket to latch the stairs when stored.

However, I think my question is answered - but will keep my eyes open to actually see a 'StepAhead' on/at an RV supply or owner's 5ht wheel.

I'm looking at mine and have no idea what he's talking about. I see the only way to remove the steps from the RV is to complete unscrew it from the floor. Very easy to do.

I plan to look at one somewhere before I would commit to a purchase.

 

I sent a follow-up e-mail regarding the "Jaws" statement.

 

The reply:

"Sorry for the confusion. I've attached install instructions that highlight what I'm talking about. There are two brackets

that permanently attach to the door. There is a 'jaw' like mechanism at the top of our step that clamps on to the permanent brackets."

 

(he also acknowledged the "doors/stairs" typo).

***************************************************************************************************************************************

 

The (same) install instructions can be found via Google(ing) - "MORryde entry step installation".

Can't say they really helped.

 

As already stated - I will take a look at the stairs (for) easy -??- removal when the opportunity arises.

Guess others should also.

The person you're talking to is referring to the older style entry steps. He must be unfamiliar with the new type.

I believe these Morryde steps are awesome, but they have a fatal flaw in my opinion.  All RVers make mistakes and these steps are just begging you to do so.  If you have these steps deployed and your door is shut and your rig settles it could bind in your door and worse yet, if you hit the auto level button to level your rig, you are going to damage your door or the steps.  With the removable bolt-on version, you'd just rip them off your vehicle.  RV's have many potentials for catastrophe and this would just be one more to add to the list.  They really should engineer them to pivot in these cases of leveling the RV.  I almost bought them today, but I called their tech department to discuss my concern and they said that the mounting plate will bend or damage your door if you tried to level your rig.  So, I asked about the removable steps and they said they don't have any give at the mounting point.  I'm bummed.

[BigTexRex]

While I have not auto-leveled with the steps deployed, I have slightly adjusted the level and the steps still pivot future out or in. We've had the steps for a couple of years and have had no problems.

We have the "removable" steps from https://www.rv-co.com/index.html . We have used them for 3 years and love them. Ours are the 5 step model and I have a place in the back of the truck for them while on the road, easy enough to remove, store or install . There are several videos on u-tube about the steps with a couple of reviews. I like these because we are able to use the factory steps and don't have to install the others for times we stop while on the road or in close quarters. Where we park our 5th wheel while at S&B, there is not room for anything but the factory steps.

We saw those early on at our Montana Fall rally.They will work for most but not all. We store our rig along side the house and there would not be room to deploy the steps. They do not work well at a truck stop  even if well withing the yellow lines due to them deploying out about 4 feet.Then there is the problem of leveling and damage to the RV. They would not work for us.
