Proven Safety & Stability
Stability by Design
- Earth-to-RV Ground Connection: Our ground-supported design is engineered to reduce the shaking and bounce some users experience with frame-mounted fold-out steps. The result is a more confident entry and exit on varied terrain, with built-in illumination for low-light conditions.
- Self-Illuminating Safety: Steps glow in the dark for up to 10 hours with just 5 minutes of light exposure — no batteries needed. Designed to help you navigate your steps confidently in low-light conditions.
Comfort & Accessibility Features
Ergonomic Design That Feels Like Home
- Simple, Safe Deployment — No Pinched Fingers: Designed with smooth-operating hinges and a comfortable grab zone, the GlowStep REVOLUTION opens and folds effortlessly without catching or pinching.
- Home-Like Step Height: Industry's shortest 7.5-inch riser height (like your home staircase) accommodates those with limited mobility, making these a comfortable step option for RVs and Airstream-compatible trailers.
- SureGrip™ Tread: SureGrip™ slip-resistant tread extends to the front tip of each step, providing a continuous slip-resistant surface for secure footing.
Superior Construction & Premium Design
Engineered for Long-Term Strength and Smooth Performance
- Engineered for Long-Term Durability: 100% lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel construction — corrosion-resistant and built to match the aesthetics of your premium trailer.
- Engineered for Silky-Smooth Operation: Our unique bushing bolted bearing design uses precision bushings that act as a bearing surface on every hinge point, delivering effortless deployment and retraction for decades. These bushings handle significant tension without over-stiffening the step configuration, designed for smooth, consistent deployment and retraction over years of use. Unlike rivet construction that loosens over time, our stainless steel bolted design allows hinge tension adjustment years into the future.
- Premium, High Quality Design: With a clean, low‑profile design, this aluminum and stainless steel construction pairs well with polished‑aluminum trailers — sleek, strong, and built to last.
Lifetime Investment
Built for the Long Haul
- Upgrade That Will Last a Lifetime: Engineered for long-term durability and backed by our lifetime warranty. The GlowStep REVOLUTION is constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum and stainless steel, built to perform for years of use. And if you ever move to a new trailer, your GlowStep REVOLUTION can go with you, ready for the next adventure.
- Legendary Lifetime Warranty: Backed by our industry-leading warranty and proudly made in the USA.
Revolutionary Patented Adjustability
