Abstract: A universal stabilizer strut for a truck camper includes a hydraulic unit that is made in only one standard length and one or more interchangeable extension units, so that different designs of cabs with different heights and widths can be accommodated. Each end of the stabilizer strut is provided with a spherical mount that accommodates angular deviations between the strut and its attachment to the truck and to the camper. One end of the stabilizer strut is secured to an upper bracket extending downwardly and forwardly from a lower surface of the cabover portion of the camper and the other end of the stabilizer strut is secured to a lower bracket expending upwardly and rearwardly from the front bulkhead region of the truck chassis, with the two ends of the stabilizer strut being adapted to be quickly installed and removed from the two respective brackets.

Abstract: A folding step assembly is attached to a wall at a predetermined height above a floor and is movable from a stowed position to an operative position. The step assembly includes a step member providing a step surface between an inner and outer edge, an inner hinge attaching the inner edge of the step member to the wall or wall recess at a desired height, a brace having an inner edge and an outer edge, an outer hinge attaching the outer edge of the step member to the inner edge of the brace, and a stop for limiting the angle between the step member and the brace to thereby maintain the brace at an acute angle relative to the step member. In the stowed position, the brace is substantially parallel to the step member and the step member is substantially parallel to the wall or the inside of the wall recess.
