Trailer steps are part of the standard equipment included in today’s trailers, RVs, and motorhomes. If you find the standard ones fragile, too high, worn out, or require more functionality, REDD Team has a whole range of aluminum trailer steps. From fold-down and retractable options to versatile steps with handrails.
Types of Trailer Steps
Portable steps are the simplest, lightest, and most affordable. A step stool is a must-have on camping trips, and a single-step pad bolted to your trailer offers similar functionality but is a more permanent solution. On the other hand, step stools might not provide the rigidity of an assembly step, but they are good enough for reaching your awning location, exterior window, or changing a roof light.
Compatibility is the most significant consideration when buying trailer steps. REDD Team offers quality aluminum trailer steps that can be assembled in multiple ways to suit your specific needs. Usually, these trailer steps attach to the original attachment points or the camper frame located beneath the door in two or three-step configurations.
REDD Team trailer steps come in different widths, rise, and radii. The steps can be retractable or withdrawn to a receptacle when not in use. Alternatively, they can be electric, where the retracting function uses an electrical motor.
We also manufacture accessible standing stairs that sit on the ground in front of the camper door. You must secure these steps correctly to ensure they don’t sink into the earth during use. These trailer steps are usually foldable for easy storage and transport. You may choose ones that come with handrails for user stability and safety.
Adjustability is a significant factor to consider when choosing trailer steps. Adjustable trailer steps are beneficial because they accommodate your parking position. Consider choosing trailer steps with non-slip surfaces to prevent accidental falls and support use in wet conditions. Aluminum trailer steps are lightweight, easy to handle, reliable, durable, and weather-proof.
Portable Steps
Mobile trailer steps are cost-effective and have a wide range of applications within your trailer and outside while camping and commercially in the industry. Features of excellent portable trailer steps include:
- A textured platform for safe use in all weather conditions
- An adjustable height for superb usability in different spaces with a simple adjustment mechanism
- Gripping feet for added stability and to prevent scratches when used inside the trailer
- High load-bearing capacity

Fixed Steps
Bolted steps are permanent, offering a lasting solution to your trailer boarding needs. The steps can be free hanging or make complete contact like the free-standing trailer steps. When choosing step trailers, be sure to get the dimensions of the bracket width and entry height correct. Examples of the features to look for in a step trailer include:
- Anti-skid tread to prevent slips
- Draining channels to drain rainwater and other liquids
- Easy retraction mechanism and sure locking once fully extended
- Multiple attachment options. High load-bearing steps should have a backing plate for a more sturdy installation
- All aluminum construction for strength and durability
- Positive or complete ground contact for free-standing steps
