The rear step is a powder coated, aluminum double step that is sturdy, durable, lightweight, and compact. Each step has three strips of rigorous industrial non-skid strips going the entire length of the steps for safety. The rear step fits into the 2 inch receiver on the trailer's bumper and provides easy access both in and out of the tent trailer.
The lightweight aluminum trailer step is engineered and manufactured by experts in the industry using computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. The final product is silver powder coated and manufactured to the same high quality standards as all Tentrax products.
Specifically designed for simple installation and easy use, each step comes with a hitch pin and clip and fits perfectly into the 2 inch bumper receiver of the Tentrax trailer. Because of its lightweight construction and compact design, the step stores easily in the aluminum dry box or trailer cargo area for easy access. The step weighs just 7-1/2 pounds.
Because trailer bumper height varies depending on the wheels and tires installed on the trailer and installation of optional lift kits, the rear step is ideal for allowing easier entry into the trailer. This step is by far the favorite choice for many off roaders installing large tires and lift kits on their trailers. Here is an example of bumper height to consider:
4 inch lift kit with 30 inch tires raises the rear bumper to 22 inches off the ground
The rear step is designed to assist getting pets, small children, physically challenged, and shorter adults into the trailer living area. Just insert the lightweight aluminum step directly into the trailer's 2 inch bumper receiver and you have the perfect stairway to a comfortable, quite, and relaxing night's sleep in your tent and bed. Additionally, if you are buying or have a cargo model, the rear step allows you to get to those hard-to-reach items in the cargo area. The rear step also provides for a sitting platform at the back of the trailer for removing shoes or other uses.
