Lippert Solid Step Premium RV Steps — 26" Triple (791572)

2026 lineup note: As of September 2026 the Solid Step line is current in double, triple, and quad configurations and 26"/30" widths — this dossier covers the 26" Triple (791572), the most common aftermarket pick for travel trailers and fifth wheels with 27.5–36" entry heights. UPC 848150059543. The newer Solid Step 3.0 (e.g., 791575 quad, $1,659) is a distinct premium tier — not this product.

Version lineage (2023–2026)

• Solid Step (original): The fold-into-the-doorway steel step that replaced pull-out "diving board" steps — no-bounce steel frame, anodized aluminum anti-slip treads, adjustable legs with pivoting feet, recessed feet.
• Solid Step 3.0 (newer): Premium tier (791575 quad observed at $1,659) — distinct product, higher price.
• 791572 (this dossier): 26" triple, 8" rise, 13" XL top tread / 8.5" lower treads, 400-lb capacity.
• 2023–2026: No revision documented for the 791572.

Overview

The Solid Step is the entry-step upgrade that makes an RV feel like a house: instead of wobbly pull-out steps that bounce and flex, you get a steel staircase that folds up into the entry doorway for travel, with adjustable legs that plant on uneven ground and an extra-wide 13-inch top tread. The triple fits the most common travel-trailer/fifth-wheel entry heights (27.5–36"). Owners consistently call it the single best quality-of-life mod for anyone with mobility concerns, kids, or dogs.

Community Verdict

The Solid Step is the consensus "worth every penny" entry mod — owners with bad knees, older dogs, and small kids describe it as transformative versus stock pull-out steps. The adjustability is the practical win: each leg extends independently, so the steps sit solid on the sloped, rutted pads that make stock steps rock. The fold-into-the-doorway design keeps road grime off the treads.

Additional voices (Sept 2026 research): the recurring pre-purchase thread is measurement — entry height AND doorway width both matter, and the "measure twice" advice is constant because returns on a 30-lb steel assembly are painful. The honest complaints: it adds meaningful weight to the entry (30 lb for the triple, 52 lb for the quad), the doorway must be clear to fold it (no screen-door interference — check), and in heavy rain the treads are slippery when muddy despite the anti-slip surface. The handrail add-on (799640) is the frequently-paired accessory.

Long-term durability & warranty-claim reality

Steel frame + aluminum treads is a durable combination; the wear points are the pivot hardware, the adjustable-leg mechanisms (grit + road salt), and the anti-slip tread coating. Owners report years of service with occasional lubrication of pivots and leg threads. The 1-year warranty is short for a $540 part — inspect the welds and pivots on arrival. Keep it adjusted — a step used with legs unevenly loaded stresses the frame.

Version history — year by year

• 2023: Current; no revision documented.
• 2024: No revision documented.
• 2025: No revision documented.
• 2026: Still current; Solid Step 3.0 tier exists above it.

Head-to-head vs closest rivals

• No direct catalog rival — this is the catalog's only entry-step product. The comparison set:
• vs stock pull-out steps: the reason this product exists — bouncy, narrow, flexy. The Solid Step wins on every axis except weight and cost.
• vs Lippert Solid Step 3.0 (outside catalog, 791575 quad $1,659): the premium tier — buy only if you need the 3.0's specific features; the 791572 is the value sweet spot.
• vs MORryde StepAbove: the direct competitor (not in catalog) — same fold-into-doorway concept, similar price. The forum debate is largely brand/ecosystem preference; both beat stock steps decisively.
• Sizing note: double/triple/quad is an entry-height decision, not a quality tier — measure your threshold height first.

Care & maintenance

Lubricate pivots and leg threads seasonally; rinse road salt/grit; check mounting bolts yearly (the doorway frame carries the load); keep treads clean for grip; fold and lock for travel — an unfolded step is a departure disaster.

Buying traps

• Measure twice: entry height (27.5–36" for the triple) AND doorway width/clearance — the step folds INTO the doorway; screen doors and tight frames interfere.
• Weight: 30 lb (triple) to 52 lb (quad) hanging on your entry — verify your doorway framing can carry it.
• The 3.0 upsell: the $1,659 Solid Step 3.0 quad is a different product — don't pay triple for features you won't use.
• 1-year warranty on a $540 steel assembly — inspect welds and pivots on delivery.
• Muddy treads: anti-slip ≠ slip-proof in mud — wipe boots.
