{"product_id":"portable-folding-caravan-step","title":"Portable Folding Caravan Step 200kg Steel Platform Step","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePortable Folding Caravan Step\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your caravan door sits a bit high off the ground, this gives you an extra step without having to bolt anything permanently to the van. It's a freestanding step that sits on the ground beside the door, and when you're finished the four legs fold up flat so you can pack it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe platform is a good size at 480mm wide and 300mm deep, so there's plenty of room to plant a full foot on the way in or out. Non-slip strips run across the top for grip, and the four legs have solid rubber feet to help it sit steady. It's built from steel and carries a 200kg static load, so it takes an adult plus whatever you're carrying through the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFolds down small for storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where a portable step earns its keep. Set up, it stands about 220mm high. Fold the legs and it packs down to roughly 80mm. At that height it can be tucked into a tunnel boot, under a bed or into another storage space, depending on your van. If you're short on room in the van, that flat-pack size makes it a lot easier to live with than a fixed-height step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMove it wherever you need it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause nothing is mounted to the caravan, you can pick it up and use it anywhere. Beside the caravan door, at the other side of the van, at a mate's place, or around the house and shed when you need a sturdy step. At around 4.5kg it's easy enough to carry out and set up in a few seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSetting it up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the legs out until they lock into position and stand it on firm, reasonably level ground. Make sure all four feet are sitting properly before you put your weight on it. The rubber feet help it grip and stay put, but like any freestanding step it needs a solid, level spot to work well. It isn't meant for soft sand or loose, uneven ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePortable or permanent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA portable step suits people who don't want to fit anything to the van, or who want a step they can move around.
