Lippert 19.5" x 1.25" Made in the USA Lippert 181638 Anti-Skid Tread Tape for Radius RV Entry Steps

A direct-fit grip solution for Lippert manual radius entry steps. This self-adhesive tread tape adds reliable traction where you need it most -- at the step edge -- helping prevent slips in wet, muddy, or icy outdoor conditions. Simple peel-and-stick install, no tools required.

Step Safety You Can Install in Minutes

RV entry steps take constant abuse -- rain, mud, morning dew, and heavy foot traffic on every trip. Lippert's 181638 anti-skid tape is purpose-built for the curved profile of Lippert's manual radius entry steps, giving you a flush, clean fit that aftermarket grip tape simply can't match. The aggressive textured surface bites into footwear and holds even when the step surface is wet.

At 19.5" wide and 1.25" deep, each strip spans the full usable width of the step tread. The pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds directly to the step surface -- no screws, no drilling, no adhesive primer needed under normal conditions. If your existing tape is peeling, worn smooth, or missing entirely, this is the correct OEM-style replacement.

Direct-Fit for Radius Steps

Sized and shaped specifically for Lippert manual radius RV entry steps -- not a generic cut-to-fit strip.

Self-Adhesive Backing

Pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds firmly to the step surface. Peel, press, and done -- no tools or hardware required.

Weather-Resistant Grip

Textured surface maintains traction in rain, dew, mud, and cold temperatures -- all common RV campsite conditions.

Made in the USA

Manufactured domestically to Lippert quality standards. Backed by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.

What This Tape Replaces

This strip is the OEM-replacement tread tape for Lippert manual radius (curved-tread) entry step assemblies commonly found on travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A/C motorhomes. Over time the factory tape wears smooth, peels at the edges, or separates from the step entirely -- especially on steps that fold and unfold repeatedly. Replacing worn tape restores the original non-slip performance of the step.

OEM-Style Fit: Because this tape is dimensioned for the radius step profile, it lays flat against the curved tread surface without gaps or bubbles at the edges. Generic tape cut from a roll typically bridges the curve and lifts over time.

Installation Tips

  • Clean the step surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and allow to dry completely before applying.
  • Remove any remnants of old tape or adhesive residue -- a plastic scraper works well on aluminum steps.
  • Peel the backing and align the strip along the front edge of the step tread before pressing down.
  • Apply firm, even pressure along the full length of the strip, working from center to edges.
  • Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 1 hour before heavy use; 24 hours for best long-term bond.
  • For best adhesion, apply in temperatures above 50 deg F.
Maintenance Tip: Inspect step tread tape at the start of each camping season. Surface wear, edge lifting, or visible cracking are signs the tape should be replaced. A fresh strip takes less than five minutes to apply and is far cheaper than a slip-and-fall injury.

Fitment Notes

Part number 181638 is designed for Lippert manual radius entry steps. Lippert also produces flat-tread and electric step assemblies that use different tape profiles. Confirm your step model before ordering. If your steps have a flat (non-curved) tread surface, this strip will not conform correctly.

One Strip Per Step Tread: This listing is for a single tape strip. Most RV entry step assemblies have 2 to 3 individual treads. Order one strip per tread you need to replace.

Important Information
  • This tape is designed specifically for Lippert manual radius entry steps. It is not designed for flat-tread, electric, or non-Lippert step assemblies.
  • One strip is included per package -- order one per step tread needing replacement.
  • Surface must be clean, dry, and free of old adhesive before application. Applying over contaminated or wet surfaces will result in premature failure.
  • Apply at 50 deg F or above for best adhesive bond. Cold-weather application may reduce adhesion.
  • Allow a minimum 1-hour cure time before stepping on the tape; 24 hours is recommended for maximum bond strength.
  • Worn or missing step tape creates a slip hazard. Inspect step treads regularly and replace tape that is lifting, cracked, or worn smooth.
