Sure Step™ OEM Install Manual
Introduction
The Sure Step™ is an entry step that can be mounted in several locations, removing constraints that RV
floor plan designers have faced for years. The new aluminum quad entry step assemblies fasten to the
RV sidewall, rear wall, exterior slide-out wall or over a wheel well, allowing manufacturers to create more
versatile and customized RV floor plans.
NOTE: The sidewall of the RV MUST have sufficient backing material for securing the Sure Step™ assembly.
Preparation
Tools Required
- Tape measure
- #10 x 1" self-tapping screws (x12) (OEM supplied)
- Screw gun (with appropriate fastening bit)
Measurements (Fig. 1)
1.
2.
3.
Measure the entry door where the steps will be installed to determine which step assembly will be
needed. Doors less than 25" wide can use 325669 (27" assembly). Doors up to 28" wide can use 354008
(30" assembly). This product cannot be used on doors wider than 28".
Find the horizontal center of the entry door. When attaching the step assembly to the sidewall, it
should be centered horizontally under the entry door.
Measure down from the bottom of the entry door 8 inches. The top of the top step of the assembly
should be aligned with this mark when the steps are extended.

Installation

2.
If not already completed, complete the Measurements section on the previous page to ensure the Sure
Step™ assembly can and will be installed properly. Also ensure that sufficient backer is in place in the
sidewall where the mounting arms will be attached.
Align the Sure Step™ assembly as described in the Measurements section on the previous page.
NOTE: Ensure that the steps are level with the RV before fully attaching the mounting arms to the sidewall.
3. Screw the left-hand mounting arm to the sidewall with one #10 x 1" self-tapping screw in the upper
left mounting hole. Only tighten the screw until snug. This will allow for any necessary adjustments to
align the Sure Step™ assembly with the unit.
4. Once the assembly is aligned with the unit, screw the right-hand mounting arm to the sidewall using
one #10 x 1" self-tapping screw.
5. Check the alignment of the steps. If necessary, remove the screw from the mounting arm and realign.
6. Once the alignment is assured, fill the rest of the screw holes (10x) with #10 x 1" self-tapping screws.
Ensure all screws are tightened (Figs. 2 and 3).

Unfold the step assembly until the footpads of the lower
legs touch the ground (Fig. 8).
NOTE: When fully unfolded, the steps should be level with the
RV. If the steps are not level, follow the instructions on
the next page for adjusting the lower legs.

Once the steps are unfolded and in place, turn the keyed cam lock on the upper right-hand mounting
arm until the cam is in the horizontal position (Figs. 9 and 10). This is a safety feature that ensures the
steps cannot be folded up and latched into place, potentially trapping a person inside the RV.
