Why Choose the MORryde STP-205 StepAbove Strut Assist?

The MORryde STP-205 eliminates the daily frustration of wrestling with heavy manual RV steps.

The innovative gas strut assist technology transforms this chore into an effortless one-handed operation - simply release the latch and the struts do the work, gently lowering the steps into position. When it's time to pack up, the struts assist with lifting, making retraction equally smooth. The ground-stable design means no wobbling or flexing when you step on them, providing confidence and safety every time you enter or exit your RV. With a robust 500 lb capacity and MORryde's legendary build quality, the STP-205 is an investment in comfort, safety, and long-term reliability that pays dividends every single day you use your RV.

Compare MORryde StepAbove Entry Steps

Choosing the right StepAbove system depends on your RV's door width, entry height, and whether you want strut assist operation. Below we compare the STP-205 with other MORryde StepAbove models to help you select the perfect fit.

💡 Helpful Tip: Measure your RV's entry door width before ordering. The STP-205 is designed for 26" door openings - if your door is 24" or 30", choose the corresponding model. Strut assist models (STP-205, STP-210) are ideal for those who want effortless operation, while manual models offer a more budget-friendly option.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the gas strut assist operation work?

The STP-205 features integrated gas struts (similar to those on car trunk lids) that counterbalance the weight of the step system. When you release the latch, the struts gently control the descent of the steps, making deployment smooth and effortless. When retracting, the struts assist with lifting, so you're not fighting the full weight of the 70 lb system. This makes operation virtually weightless and accessible for users of all strength levels.

Is this compatible with my 26" door RV?

The STP-205 is specifically engineered for RVs with 26" entry door widths. This includes many popular travel trailer and fifth wheel models. To verify compatibility, measure the width of your RV's entry door opening. If your door is 24" or 30", you'll need the STP-204/STP-203 or STP-210 models respectively. Our AI Live Chat can help confirm fitment for your specific RV make and model.

Does this come with a handrail?

No, the handrail is sold separately. MORryde offers compatible handrail kits designed specifically for StepAbove 3-step systems. Be sure to verify which generation StepAbove system you have (1st or 2nd gen) when selecting a handrail, as they are not interchangeable. Search for "MORryde StepAbove handrail" to find compatible options.

What is the weight capacity of the STP-205?

The MORryde STP-205 has a robust 500 lb weight capacity, safely supporting multiple users, heavy loads, or equipment. The heavy-duty steel construction and ground-stable design ensure the steps remain secure and wobble-free even under maximum load.

How difficult is installation?

Installation requires mounting the step system to your RV's frame using the included hardware. This is a permanent installation that typically requires drilling and bolting to the RV structure. While mechanically inclined RV owners can complete this as a DIY project, many choose to have it professionally installed by an RV service center or mobile technician to ensure proper alignment and secure mounting. Full installation instructions are included.

Can I use this on uneven ground?

The STP-205 is a ground-stable system, meaning the bottom step contacts the ground for added stability. While this provides excellent support on level surfaces, significant ground unevenness may affect stability. For best results, use leveling blocks or choose a level parking spot. The ground contact design distributes weight and prevents the steps from flexing or wobbling during use.
