Various vehicle systems are proposed for accessing and utilizing vehicle cargo spaces on vehicles equipped with a tailgate assembly. The vehicle systems may include deployable and/or rotatable stairgate systems, deployable step systems, etc. designed for the accessing the vehicle cargo spaces. The proposed systems may include various deployment mechanisms that enable the stairgate/step systems to slide, pivot, rotate, swing, and/or otherwise adjust for providing ease of access and increased flexibility when stepping up to access the vehicle cargo space.

A pop-up camper has a roof that is movable between a stored position where it is close to a perimeter wall and use position where it is raised away from the perimeter wall. The perimeter wall has a gap that receives a door that is attached to the pop-up camper at the floor level. The door pivots between a stored position where panel spans and seals a gap in the sidewall and use position where the panel folds down and a terminal edge is close to the ground. The door includes stringers with steps that extend between. Adjustable feet are received at the end of the stringers adjacent the terminal edge and telescopically slide between a stored position where the feet are locked from rotation and do not extend beyond the terminal edge and an extended position where the feet can pivot.
