Shane: Hey everyone, Shane here with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at the Torklift GlowStep Revolution Uprising. What would be the reason we'd want to add different steps to our camper Well, if we come down here and we take a look at the steps that normally come on your campers, steel construction and they tend to rush fairly quick so they become hard to put in and out. Plus they're floating steps, so there's nothing touching the ground. So when we walk on these, there's not a whole lot of stability there and you can see, they kind of move around. Plus if you're inside the camper sleeping and you come out at night or somebody's sleeping, you go to walk in, you're shaking the camper around.With the Torklift steps, you can see they're going to fold...
These are going to fold inside the door so once we leave, close our door, our steps stay inside, we don't have to worry about them staying outside in the weather. But they're easy to fold out, we simply fold them down. We'll grab this lower bar, I'm going to pull them out like this, we can adjust our feet and then we're ready to go. And you can see these are a lot more stable than our free-hanging steps. These are going to have a 325 pound weight capacity, they're going to be aluminum construction so we don't have to worry about the rust and corrosion.
All of our hinges, hardware, our hardware is going to be a stainless steel construction. Again, we don't have to worry about rust and corrosion or anything like that.I mentioned the GlowSteps, they're going to have a sticker that runs down each step down. Now, five minutes of direct light will give you 10 hours of glow. So you can see with all of our lights off, each one of our steps has a glow sticker on it that help when walking in at night. These are going to be a scissor style, so you'll notice we have three hinge points and what that allows us to do, is it allows us to fold up our steps into a nice compact space.
So it's not a whole lot of room that it would be taking up, it makes it easy to pull out and to push back in. Unlike some of the other steps where, on the factory steps that come out, once you get your second step in there it might be hard to lift up those two steps to slide them in place. Where with these being aluminum, they're nice and lightweight, we don't have to worry about all that extra weight.Let's say we parked somewhere and we have a little unlevel terrain. Each leg is going to have 12 holes that allows us to adjust this leg in one inch increments. The footpad on the bottom, now you can see a nice wide base so it gives us plenty of stability once they're on the ground.
But it has four rubber pads, so it gives us a nice grip when it's down. And this is actually the four step design. So you're probably asking yourself, "Well, if it's a four step design, what's the extra step" They actually call this a booster step. So what you would do is there's a lever down here that locks it and you slide it over. And this allows you to extend the steps out farther, or even to give you a little bit more height for ground that may be a little bit lower, different terrain levels.And this bottom step is a little bit closer to the ground for somebody that may have a problem actually stepping up higher. Now, if I didn't mentioned this before, these steps, these are the 28 inch wide ones and that's this inside bracket. Our step is actually going to be eight inches by 22 and a half inches, each one is going to have raised corrugation almost on it, to provide tread if your steps are wet. We'll come up here to this bracket and you'll notice it wraps all the way down, this is to provide support. So if you're walking up here and you happen to maybe step a little bit forward, you don't have to worry about your foot sliding in there. So it gives you plenty of protection there.We're going to have a nice grip here so when we're stepping up here with this being a metal surface, if it gets wet, obviously it's going to be slick. So having the grip tape there, we can step on it and we're not going to have to worry about sliding. Now being 28 inches, that's this bracket right here, inside edge to inside edge of this bracket is going to be 28 inches. And how you measure that is this flange on your doorframe, insid
