Doorway width, entry height, and interior storage room decide which Uprising part number fits your RV.
GlowStep REVOLUTION Uprising part numbers are chosen by measurement, not by RV brand or by the number of steps your RV came with. Before you order, you need three things: the narrowest width of your doorway frame entrance, the height from the ground to the bottom of the door threshold, and confirmation that the folded step has room inside the RV when it is stored.
Take those three measurements, add a few photos, and you have everything the Torklift Central retail team needs to help you match the right part number. Here is how to take each one.
Three Measurements Decide Your Uprising Part Number
Each Uprising measurement answers a different part of the fitment question:
- Measurement A, doorway width, points you to the correct width family.
- Measurement B, ground to threshold, sets the step count.
- Interior stored-step clearance confirms the folded system fits inside your RV.
Take all three before you open the fitment table. Choosing a part number from one measurement and checking the others later is how shoppers end up with a step that fits the doorway but will not store.
Measurement A: Doorway Width
Measure the narrowest part of the doorway frame entrance. Not the door itself, and not the widest point of the opening. Look for anything that narrows the frame, such as trim, weatherstripping, or the frame lip, and measure at the tightest point.
Check the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the opening. The narrowest point is not always at the threshold, and a frame that narrows near the latch or hinge side changes the answer. Use a rigid tape measure and write the number down to the nearest eighth of an inch.
Uprising is currently offered in four width families: 24, 26, 28, and 30 inches. Your measured doorway width points you to the right family, and the current live fitment table on the Uprising product page matches that family to exact part numbers.
Photograph the doorway from outside with a tape measure across the narrowest point. It makes any fitment conversation with our retail team much faster.
Measurement B: Ground to Bottom of Door Threshold
Measure from the ground straight up to the bottom of the door threshold, with the RV parked on level ground the way it usually sits when you use the steps. That entry height determines your step count. Current Uprising entry-height ranges are:
- 3-step: 19-7/8 to 27-3/8 inches
- 4-step: 27-3/8 to 34-7/8 inches
- 5-step: 34-7/8 to 42-3/8 inches
- 6-step: 42-3/8 to 49-7/8 inches
If your measurement lands right on the line between two ranges, note the exact number and contact our retail team before ordering. If the ranges are updated, the current product page is the reference.
Do Not Match the Factory Step Count
Your RV's factory steps are not the guide here. Factory step designs differ in rise, spacing, and mounting, so the number of steps your RV came with does not translate into an Uprising step count. A coach with three factory steps can measure into a different Uprising range entirely.
The same goes for copying a friend's order. Two RVs of the same brand and floor plan can sit at different heights depending on tires, suspension, and model year, so take your own measurement.
Use your measured ground-to-threshold height and the current chart. That measurement is what Uprising step counts are sized to.
Interior Stored-Step Clearance
Uprising is a doorway-mounted step system, and when it is stored, the folded system needs room inside the RV. This is the measurement shoppers most often skip, and it is essential.
Open and close the entry door and the screen door while you look at the space. Many doorways have a cabinet edge, a step well cover, or a strip of trim that sits right where the folded steps would rest. There is no single universal interior clearance number. Follow the current diagram for the part number you are considering, and photograph the inside of the doorway showing the floor, nearby cabinets, and any trim or wall projections.
Capacity Is Listed by Part Number
Uprising does not have one universal capacity. Current product pages list different capacities depending on step count and GlowGuide use. Once your width and height measurements point to a part number, check that part number's capacity in the current live table before you order.
Think about how the steps will actually be used. Who climbs them most often, what they carry in and out, and whether GlowGuide is part of your setup all belong in the decision. If capacity is a deciding factor between two options, ask our retail team to walk through the current table with you.
Measure the Doorway Before Choosing the Part Number
Use this table as your measuring checklist.
| Measurement | Where to measure | What it determines | What to photograph |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doorway width (A) | Narrowest part of the doorway frame entrance | Width family: 24, 26, 28, or 30 inches | Doorway from outside with tape across the narrowest point |
| Entry height (B) | Ground to bottom of the door threshold, RV on level ground | Step count from the current chart | Side view with tape from ground to threshold |
| Interior stored-step clearance | Inside the doorway, following the current Torklift diagram | Whether the folded system stores clear of the floor, door, screen door, trim, cabinets, and walls | Inside of the doorway showing floor, threshold, trim, and cabinets |
| Trim and threshold details | Doorway frame, threshold, and trim edges | Whether trim may interfere with mounting or storage | Close-ups of the threshold and frame trim |
| Existing step | Current step system at the entry door | What is being replaced and how the doorway is set up today | Existing step deployed and stored |
| Part number capacity | Current live product table | Capacity for the selected step count and GlowGuide use | Not applicable |
Along with the measurements, record your RV year, make, and model, your existing step type, and the step count you calculated from the current chart. With that list complete, choosing the part number takes a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What measurements do I need for GlowStep Uprising?
You need the narrowest doorway frame width, the height from the ground to the bottom of the door threshold, and interior stored-step clearance using the current Torklift diagram. Photos of the doorway inside and outside help too.
How wide does my RV doorway need to be?
Uprising is currently offered in 24, 26, 28, and 30-inch width families. Measure the narrowest part of the doorway frame entrance and use the current fitment table to match it to a part number.

What is the correct height measurement?
Measure from the ground to the bottom of the door threshold, with the RV on level ground the way it usually sits when you use the steps.
Should I match my factory step count?
No. Factory step designs vary, so use your measured entry height and the current Uprising chart instead.
Which Uprising part number fits my RV?
Your doorway width family and calculated step count point to the part number in the current live fitment table. Contact the Torklift Central retail team with your measurements if you want help confirming it.
