This Silver Single Electric Caravan Step does the work for you. The 12V motor extends the step when you open the door and pulls it back in when you close it, so there's no bending down to drag a step out by hand every time you stop. There's also a rocker switch inside if you'd rather run it in and out yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tread is silver aluminium with non-slip strips across it, set on a black frame, so it looks tidy under the van and holds grip in the wet. When you pack up, the step retracts flush against the chassis, out of the weather and out of the way for travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAutomatic on the door, or run it yourself\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWired to the supplied door sensor, the step comes out the moment you open the door and retracts when you shut it. The included rocker switch gives you manual control as well, which is handy when you want the step to stay put while the door's open. Plenty of owners run both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy on your battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor is a 12V DC unit rated at 45W, so it runs off your van's system without a heavy draw. A 20A fuse protects the circuit and comes with the wiring harness. There's no separate battery pack or mains power needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to take the weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe step is aluminium alloy construction and carries a 200kg static load, which covers adults plus whatever you're carrying through the door. At 550mm wide there's room to plant a full boot, and the single tread sits at a comfortable height for most doorways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver single electric step\u003c\/strong\u003e with a 550mm wide non-slip aluminium tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRocker switch\u003c\/strong\u003e for manual control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoor sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e for automatic operation when the door opens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring harness with a 20A fuse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting bolts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1-year RV Essentials warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe step bolts to a flat section of chassis under the doorway, and the wiring runs into your 12V supply. Because there's a motor and door-sensor wiring to connect, we'd recommend having it fitted by an auto electrician or a caravan tech unless you're confident with 12V wiring. Getting the wiring right the first time saves a lot of mucking about later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSingle step or double?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single step suits vans where the drop from the ground to the doorway is on the smaller side. If your van sits high and the climb is a big stretch, a two-tier step splits that height into two easier stages.
