T@b 320 S - Step Height

EasternJL · January 30

Howdy-- I'm looking at possibly getting some portable steps to use instead of the stock one (so I can have two steps up). I don't have my 320 yet, so I'm looking for the step height;, and then the height to the door. Someone posted elsewhere that the step was 8" from the ground and the threshold was another 10" from the step. I wasn't sure if this was for BD version, or if it was current info. If someone can verify, that would be great!

Thanks.

And just to reiterate-- this would be for a new 320, Boondock.

If you have searched for the measurements you have, you might have already seen these examples of portable steps. There are many different types. This might help put you in the right direction.

Seems Google search has really collapsed in the last few months...I know there is more here in the Forums, but Google isn't helping a bit.

Thanks for that. I actually have a couple types of steps in my Amazon cart, but I'm waiting to pull the trigger until I'm sure about the exact measurements of the 320's step and threshold height. I was surprised not to find those measurements anywhere (other than the one post). I'm hoping someone with a bit of free time might walk out to their 320 BD with a measuring tape.....

Just bumping this back up. If someone out there can do a quick measurement (from ground to top of step, and then top of step to threshold), I would greatly appreciate it!! (320 S Boondock)

@EasternJL We have a 2022 320s BD.
From ground to top of step: 14 3/4 inches.
From top of step to door threshold: a hair less than
9 3/4 inches.
We use an aluminum step stool that has legs which fold in for storage and are also height-adjustable. It works very well for us.

@EasternJL. Correction to my previous post:
From top of step to door threshold is about one sixteenth MORE than 9 3/4 inches.

Thank you very much! I'm surprised-- that first step is 14 3/4 from the ground--more than I was thinking. I suppose the thread I mentioned previously (with the first step at 8") must have been an older, non-boondock model. So that makes the total height from ground to threshold about 24.5".

When we rented one last year, my wife and I both thought the step situation was a bit uncomfortable (height-wise). So we're looking at some portable 2-step options on Amazon.

I found my steps at a rummage sale. My knees are happier because of them, and it’s easier for my dachshund to go up and down. I put the step out on my 2017 320S and slide these over it. Good luck on your search and happy camping!

That first step is a doozy! After a fellow T@Ber shattered his hip, we bought this. I like it because it folds up. We’ve had it 5 years and it has held up well. Also, we back out of the camper not walk out forward. It’s much safer for my husband who has a bum leg.

When I bought my T@B I had just had total knee replacement so the puny pull-out step was not going to work for me. I've been using this aluminum step for about five years. It's not two-step, but I'm short and it works fine for me. I've taken advantage of the adjustable legs a few times to level the step when I've been parked on a hill.
