- In this video I cover the pros & cons of the updated versions of the Lippert SolidStep vs the MORryde StepAbove step systems along with Lippert’s Lift Assist, MORryde’s Strut Assist, and the new quick release hinges offered by both brands. I also cover installation of all MORryde and Lippert systems.
🚨HEADS UP!🚨
The Lippert Solid Step shown in this video is a next generation prototype and will be available for purchase in early 2024, so if you purchase before then you WILL receive the PRIOR generation version of the step, which I’ve covered extensively in this video: • Lippert Solid Step vs ...

If you're looking to upgrade your RV entry steps, this video is for you.
Back in 2021 I covered the pros and cons of two of the most popular stable step offerings on the market, the Lippert Solid Step and the MORryde Step Above step. Since then there have been quite a few upgrades by both competitors, so the question remains, which brand of new-style step is best?
At first glance you're not going to notice much difference between the two. They're both going to give you increased weight capacity and increased stability. They're both constructed from lightweight high-quality aluminum. They're both stowed inside on travel days so they're exposed to the elements a lot less. And they both have adjustable independent legs that work great on uneven terrain.
The 1st difference between these two models is going to be their specific size offerings as well as the overall step width and step depth. The 2nd difference is weight capacity. The 3rd difference is the ease of leg adjustment. 4th is the design of their quick release hinges. The 5th difference is the performance of the assist features. 6th is the way in which the steps and the assist features are marketed and packaged. 7th is the way in which the steps are mounted to the rig. 8th is how to determine which models fit your RV. And 9th is the difference in handrails.
So which step do you think is the winner here? Comment below. Would you rather have the Lippert SolidStep or the MORryde StepAbove?
And what features are most important to you?

Great job explaining the difference between the two..
Thanks so much! Hope it was helpful.
My only contribution to these steps is be wary of the strut assist. Mine broke after three years. The strut ends snapped during travel and could not be repaired. They would have to be replaced. This caused extra effort to raise the steps, and with no strut to hold the steps up, I had to bungee cord them to the bunks causing undo stress on the bunk ladder. Go with the non assist. They are light and easier to use.
Appreciate the feedback! May I ask which brand you had?
Great video! I’ve used both step on different trailers and as of right now I prefer MORryde since it has the quick adjust for the legs but the new prototype of the Solid Step looks cool as well. Definitely pros and cons for both.
Absolutely. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Torklift steps were the best decision ever for us. It has all of the pros mentioned in the video with zero of the cons…perfect for us.
Nice! Haven’t had a chance to try out the Torklift steps yet. What type of rig do you have?
@@AroundTheSunWeGo Grand Design Reflection 337RL (5th Wheel). I didn’t like to Solid Step being inside the camper while traveling. Torklift stays out and is solid.
Hi Chris. Watched both of your videos on the steps and you are a wealth of information. Do the steps lock into the door frame? If so does it cause any damage while traveling? Great video. These step look like a game changer for Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you.
Hey there. I’m glad you found the videos helpful! Yes, the steps do latch into the door frame. It’s doesn’t necessarily cause “damage” but I would say there is some slight scuffing inside the doorframe. Nothing noticeable or bad looking though. And you’re very welcome. Thanks for watching :)
@aroundthesunwego, can the quick adjust legs be added/replace the manual pin adjust legs?
No, it’s a completely different design.
The new design of Lippert steps are really cool. Any idea when they will be available and can you get your name on a list when they do.
I’ll give you a shout if I hear of anything like that!
Great videos! Your first one made me follow you and watch this one!
I’m looking for help. My inner door frame is not quite 24 inches. My dual step stairs are 24 inches wide.
Will the Lippert model 733931 work?
Folding into that door frame looks to be an issue unless the Lippert steps are less than 24 inches wide.
I haven’t gotten any answers yet.
Thanks so much! From what I gather, you will need a doorway that is at least 25" wide for the 733931. There is a 713662 that is made for 24” doors, but if yours is less than 24” I’m not sure that would even work. What camper do you have?
I like the Lippert step because of the larger surface areas, especially the top platform. I see the Lippert and the Morryde reviewed had quick release latches on the support legs. However Lippert is saying they don't offer that anymore and have gone back to the removable pins. At least their customer service agent on the phone told me that. How can I get a triple step with the quick release option?
That’s a great question. I’ll make sure to reach out if I ever see that version available for purchase.
Wish Morryde had a kit to add “assist “ to the steps that came on my rig
I understand Randy! Definitely pros and cons to MORryde’s combo packaging.
Do you think they Morryde handrail could be installed on the Lippert steps?
No, not without modification. Two totally different designs.
So here we are halfway through 2024 and still no upgraded model of the Lippert steps??
I can live without the quick release lever for the adjustable legs (although it seems like a good idea). But I do need to have the quick release hinges since I don't always have 4 ft. of space available to swing the 4 step version up and down again. My RV storage lot packs us in pretty close together... I will need to be able to remove these easily just to be able to get into the RV. I will just use a portable step when I need to do that I guess. Definitely one downside to this type of step.
Gonna call Lippert Monday to see what's going on with the upgrades that you showed on your video...
Heck yeah! Give them a call Monday and let us know what they say!
@@AroundTheSunWeGo Will do! I def want this upgrade before my next RV outing if possible, but really want to make sure I have the latest version if available...Stay tuned!
@flash8051 I still don't see them on their website. I emailed them back in March asking what the status was. The rep that emailed me back said all they are being told is sometime this year. She also mentioned too check back mid year. I just sent a follow-up email so we'll see what transpires. I would love to get my hands on a set and have been holding out since this video, lol. I may have no choice but to go with morryde. Can't hold out forever and I definitely don't want the pinned version
I haven’t heard any updates from Lippert on these in a long while.
My (2021) rig came with the Lippert with no assist and the pin leg adjustment. When I looked for the assist feature, I could not find it, So I ordered a MoRryde and then found out about the kit for the Lippert. To late
Yeah, there are a lot of options out there and it can definitely be a bit confusing. Hopefully videos like this can help others know what’s out there. But you can’t go wrong with the MORryde StepAbove! Great set of steps.
Is this the MORryde StepAbove Gen 2? I see that the Gen 2 has black painted feet, and was launched in mid 2021
The set in this video is the Gen 2. In my experience the Gen 2 doesn’t have black painted feet. Our Gen 1 MORryde set did have black painted feet.
Still waiting for lippert new release hopfully soon
we had the latest moryde steps, and now have ordered a new RV with the lippert steps, ...if the new ones come with that quick release for the legs we will be happy, if not, we will probably go back to moryde. That is the deal breaker for us, the legs with pins are just not the happiest.
Totally agree!
👍🇺🇲
‘Merica!
Say WHAAT?
That’s right! Which do you pick Joe?
@@AroundTheSunWeGo the lippert step because it has longer depth
@@joesnow93 Nice!
I just bought a new Solitude with Morryde strut assist stairs. I absolutely hate these stairs for permanent RV ing. We are at a camp for long periods of time. Used to just be able to take stairs out quickly and roll up outside solid steps. Do I have to disassemble the entire Morryde unit to take out the stairs? What a stupid system.
When or why do you usually need to remove the stairs at a long-term spot? And yes, the strut-based version would require the entire unit be unscrewed from the floor and wall for removal. Only the version without the assist has the quick release feature.
@@AroundTheSunWeGo the Morryde stairs are to small/steep for my dogs. Although I think it’s a great system for weekend getaways. Being full time I remove the stairs and have a built platform staircase pulled up to the rig. I didn’t realize that I had to remove the whole unit, screws etc. removing all the screws will only weaken the system over time, stripping them etc. if I had know, I would have had them remove the strut assist stairs and install a regular set. The weight is not that big off a deal. As it is now, we or the dogs always end up hitting that strut assist guard. I really don’t think these new stairs were thought out very well.
@@kruijsm I see. Yeah, definitely think they were designed more for regular traveling than stationary use.
Anything lippert Is a no for me, being a full timer they just are not up to par for me. Their products are great and are up to full timing however I've had at least 15 orders from lippert sent with half my order or missing parts then the missing parts are later shipped to a campground I'm no longer at, all while their phone support says "they'll go out tomorrow we apologize" when in reality they are backordered another 2 weeks or something. As mentioned I have not had 1 single order received on time or whole from lippert out of 15 so far. If there is an alternative to lippert I'm using that.
Wow! Sorry to hear you’ve had those experiences. Customer service is definitely just as important as offering a quality product and if I was in your position I’d feel the same way. It does seem that Lippert may have some work to do on the packaging and logistics side of things. Appreciate you sharing your story and thoughts on this!
For Geezers like myself all the steps could be much closer together..Lippert is much better than moride step above.
I can definitely understand that! It can be quite a climb to get up into the bigger rigs.
MORryde, all day long. Lippert can't do anything right.
You’re not the only one with that opinion unfortunately 😖
