The best StepAbove RV steps are the ones that match your doorway and entry height. MORryde’s STP-202, STP-206 and STP-212 offer two-, three- and four-step choices for the same door-width range, but they fit different threshold-to-ground heights. Buying the taller set does not make it a better fit.
This shortlist compares three genuine second-generation StepAbove models using MORryde’s current qualification guide and owner’s manual. It is a specification-based shopping guide, not a hands-on test. Check the full qualification guide before ordering: door width and step count alone do not establish compatibility.
Three StepAbove models to shortlist
| Model | Steps | Threshold-to-ground height | Step rise | Door-width requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MORryde STP-202 | 2 | 25–29.5 inches | 9 inches | 26–28 inches on the factory label, or 23.75–26.25 inches flange to flange |
| MORryde STP-206 | 3 | 30–33.5 inches | 8 inches | 26–28 inches on the factory label, or 23.75–26.25 inches flange to flange |
| MORryde STP-212 | 4 | 37.5–42 inches | 8 inches | 26–28 inches on the factory label, or 23.75–26.25 inches flange to flange |
These are the fit ranges in MORryde’s second-generation qualification guide. The two door-width columns describe different ways of identifying the doorway; neither should be mistaken for tread width. These three models do not cover every entry height or door width.
1. MORryde STP-202: for the lowest entry in this shortlist
Start with STP-202 when your top-of-threshold-to-ground measurement falls between 25 and 29.5 inches and your doorway meets the width requirement above. Its two treads have a 9-inch rise, so it suits a different entry geometry from the three-step STP-206.
The second-generation design includes a wide top step, ground-contact legs with quick-release adjustment and a removable hinge arrangement. It stores inside the doorway. Those shared features are useful only when the threshold, door and interior clearances also qualify.
Main trade-off: the 9-inch rise is taller than the 8-inch rise of the other two picks. Choose by the fit chart and the people who will use the steps, rather than assuming fewer steps will be easier for everyone.

2. MORryde STP-206: for a 30–33.5-inch entry
STP-206 is the three-step candidate for this height range, with an 8-inch rise. It keeps the same door-width requirement as STP-202, which makes the height measurement the key distinction between these two choices.
Main trade-off: it is not the correct three-step model for every RV. A doorway above 33.5 inches is outside the STP-206 range in the current chart, even if the width is correct. Do not treat the adjustable legs as permission to exceed that range.

3. MORryde STP-212: for a 37.5–42-inch entry
STP-212 is the four-step choice here. It has an 8-inch rise and shares the 26–28-inch factory-labeled door category with the other two picks. The additional tread serves a higher entry; it is not an interchangeable upgrade for a lower doorway.
Main trade-off: plan for the complete assembly to move through its folding path and stow inside the entrance. If your height falls between the listed ranges, use MORryde’s full chart to identify the correct model instead of rounding to this one.

The fit checks that matter before buying
Measure with the RV level. The fit chart uses the distance from the top of the threshold to the ground, not an estimate from floor height or the number of old steps. For width, use the factory door label or the narrowest flange-to-flange measurement at the base of the opening, as shown in the qualification guide.
- Threshold rise: the guide specifies 5/8 to 3/4 inch. An out-of-range threshold needs manufacturer or installer assessment before purchase.
- Door clearance: the guide calls for a 3/8-inch gap from the bottom of both the entry and screen doors to the top of the threshold for the hinge plate.
- Interior clearance: the current guide’s text calls for at least 9 inches inside the doorway, but its illustration is labeled 8 inches. If clearance is tight, have MORryde confirm your setup; do not rely on the smaller illustration.
- Interference: check door-jamb trim, door struts, skirting, storm doors, grab handles and the space needed by any handrail. A matching door-width number does not rule out these obstructions.
The checklist is a purchase screen, not an installation procedure. If changes to the RV or its door hardware appear necessary, discuss them with MORryde or a qualified RV installer. Use the current installation instructions for the supplied step and hinge version.
Weight rating, swing space and daily use
MORryde lists a 500-pound weight capacity for the standard second-generation StepAbove system. Its product information also confirms doorway storage, quick-release leg adjustment and removal for tight spaces. These features do not make the steps compatible with every travel trailer, fifth wheel or motorhome.
Before choosing a fold-in system, think about where you normally park. The door must open fully, the moving steps need a clear path, and the deployed feet need suitable ground contact. A closely parked vehicle, storage wall or interior obstruction can change whether you can use the entrance conveniently.
The StepAbove owner’s manual requires both legs to support the level steps and warns that stowing them while someone is inside blocks an emergency exit. Review the complete operating guidance before use. Do not lift the steps against a closed door.
Which one should you choose?
For a qualifying doorway in the width range above, compare STP-202 at 25–29.5 inches, STP-206 at 30–33.5 inches or STP-212 at 37.5–42 inches. If the measurements fall outside those ranges, or the threshold and swing-clearance checks fail, select from MORryde’s full model chart with its support team. Fit comes before step count, appearance or a retailer’s generic compatibility claim.
