Brophy Prod Trailer Hitch Step
Brophy Prod Trailer Hitch Steps: Dependable Access for Campers & Trucks
When it comes to getting in and out of a truck bed camper, RV, or towed rig safely, a well-built trailer hitch step makes all the difference. Brophy Prod — formally known as CR Brophy Machine Works — has established a solid reputation in the towing accessories market, and their receiver hitch stairs are a standout example of the practical, no-nonsense engineering the brand is known for.
The Brophy RHS2: A Trusted Standard in Hitch-Mounted Stairs
Brophy’s flagship trailer hitch step, the RHS2 Receiver Hitch Stair, is purpose-built for 2-inch receiver hitches and delivers two sturdy steps for easy camper entry. What makes it particularly versatile is its three adjustable length positions — measured from the back of the top step to the hitch pin holes at 1/2 inch, 3-1/2 inch, and 6-1/2 inch — letting drivers dial in the right fit for their specific vehicle and hitch setup.
- Step dimensions: 17 inches wide by 6 inches deep per step
- Weight capacity: 250 pounds
- Drop/rise: 10 inches between steps
- Top step position: 5-1/4 inches above the shank; bottom step 3 inches below
- Finish: Powder-coated black for corrosion resistance
- Installation: No assembly required — slides directly into any standard 2-inch receiver and locks with a 5/8-inch hitch pin (sold separately)
Why the Brophy Hitch Step Stands Out
One of the most practical features of the Brophy hitch step is how effortlessly it installs. There’s no assembly needed out of the box — it simply slides into any compatible 2-inch receiver and secures with a standard hitch pin. The powder-coated black finish is durable enough to handle the outdoor exposure that comes with regular towing and camping use.
The 17-inch-wide step platform gives users a confident, stable footing — wide enough for most boots and work footwear. The 250-pound weight capacity covers the vast majority of users, making these steps a reliable choice for everyday loading and unloading tasks. Real-world users have praised the unit’s stability and sturdiness, with one reviewer noting it feels "extremely stable" even under active use.
Practical Applications
Brophy’s trailer hitch step shines in a variety of real-world scenarios beyond simple camper entry. Truck owners loading gear, ATVs, or equipment into a bed with the tailgate down have found the hitch step invaluable. It also pairs well with hitch extenders — Brophy offers compatible extender accessories (such as the RHSE) — giving users the ability to reposition the step further from the vehicle when needed, like when a tailgate is lowered for a truck tent setup.
Whether you’re an RV enthusiast, a truck camper owner, or someone who simply needs reliable rear-vehicle access, Brophy Prod’s trailer hitch steps deliver practical value built around straightforward, dependable design.
