Silver Electric Double Caravan Step Automatic 12V Pull Out Step with Door Sensor
Silver Electric Double Caravan Step Stepping in and out of the van shouldn't be a scramble, and it shouldn't mean bending down to drag a heavy step in and out every time you stop. This Silver Electric Double Caravan Step does the work for you. At the flick of a switch, or automatically as your door opens, two wide treads slide out and drop into place. When you're ready to pack up, they retract flush against the chassis, out of the way and out of the weather. The silver aluminium treads give it a clean, modern look that sits nicely under a white or light-coloured van, and the ribbed surface gives you solid grip in the wet or the dry. Underneath, the frame is powder-coated steel, so it stands up to gravel roads, salt air and the general knocks of life on the road. Two steps, less climb A single step can leave a big gap between the ground and your doorway, especially on a lifted van or a caravan with a high floor. The double tread splits that climb into two manageable stages, which makes a real difference for kids, older travellers and anyone carrying a load in both hands. Each tread is wide enough to plant a full foot on, so you're not tiptoeing on the edge. Automatic or manual, your choice Wire it to the supplied door sensor and the step extends the moment you open the door, then retracts when you close it. Prefer to run it yourself? The included rocker switch lets you extend and retract it whenever you like. Plenty of owners run both, the sensor for everyday use and the switch for when they want the step to stay put while the door's open. Built to handle the load The 12V DC motor draws 45W and is rated to move a static load of 200kg, so it carries adults and gear without complaint. It runs off your van's 12V system, so there's no need for mains power or a separate battery setup. What you're getting This is the powered version of our popular Manual Double Caravan Step. If you'd rather pull the step out by hand and save a bit, that manual model is a solid pick. If you want the convenience of a step that appears and disappears on its own, this electric version is the one. It pairs well with a solid grab handle beside the door for extra support on the way up. Everything you need to fit it is in the box, including the mounting bolts, the wiring harness with an inline fuse, the door sensor and the rocker switch. It bolts up to a flat section of chassis under the doorway, and the wiring runs into your 12V supply.
