Stromberg Carlson Trailer Steps: Dependable Entry Solutions for RVs and Campers
Stromberg Carlson has been engineering trailer access solutions since 1959, and their lineup of trailer steps reflects more than six decades of refinement. As a third-generation, family-owned company based in Traverse City, Michigan, Stromberg Carlson has built a reputation in the RV aftermarket for producing steps that prioritize safety, ease of use, and long-term durability — making them a go-to choice for travel trailer and park model owners alike.
A Step for Every Trailer Setup
What sets Stromberg Carlson apart in the trailer steps category is the sheer range of purpose-built solutions they offer. Their lineup covers three main product families, each engineered for a specific type of trailer entry situation:
- Flexco Manual Pull-Out Steps — The Flexco series is designed specifically for travel trailers and folds up neatly underneath the camper when not in use. Available in single, double, triple, and quad configurations, and in widths of 20" and 24", the Flexco line accommodates a wide variety of trailer door heights with rise options ranging from 2.75" to 9.5". Each step is rated at a 300-lb. weight capacity and features bolt-on or weld-on installation that mirrors the original factory step mounting.
- Econo Porch Park Model Steps — Designed for stationary park model trailers, the Econo Porch series delivers the feel of a permanent entry staircase. These units include two or three steps plus a roomy landing platform to make door entry more comfortable, and they come with one or two handrails for added stability. Setup is straightforward — simply unfold and attach the support braces.
- Adjustable-Height Folding Platform Steps — For situations where a single stepping surface is all that's needed, Stromberg Carlson offers both aluminum and steel folding platform steps. The aluminum version delivers lightweight, rust-resistant durability, while steel models provide a higher weight capacity. Push-button leg adjustments let each leg be set independently to compensate for uneven ground.
Built-In Safety Features
Across the entire trailer steps lineup, Stromberg Carlson incorporates a non-skid surface design on step treads, providing extra grip during wet or slippery conditions — a critical safety feature for campers of all ages and abilities. The Flexco steps are individually powder coated for superior corrosion resistance, and the step treads are engineered for easy opening and closing with a large, stable slip-resistant surface.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
One practical advantage of Stromberg Carlson trailer steps is that they ship fully assembled, reducing installation time significantly. The Flexco pull-out steps mount directly to the RV frame using the same bolt pattern as factory-installed steps, making them a true drop-in replacement. Once installed, the steps require virtually no ongoing maintenance, delivering years of reliable service with minimal upkeep.
Whether you're replacing worn-out factory steps on a travel trailer, upgrading a park model entry, or adding a standalone platform step for easier coach access, Stromberg Carlson's trailer step lineup offers a well-matched solution for nearly every scenario.
