Black Electric Double Caravan Step This black electric double caravan step gives you two comfortable steps up to your caravan door and saves you having to pull the steps out by hand every time you stop. It runs from your caravan's 12V system and uses a 45W motor to extend and retract the steps. The double-step design helps reduce the height of each step, which makes getting in and out of the van easier, especially on caravans that sit higher off the ground. Electric operation The step can be operated using the supplied rocker switch. It also comes with a door sensor, which can be set up so the step extends when the caravan door opens and retracts again when the door closes. The wiring harness and 20A fuse are included as part of the electrical setup. As this is an electric step, it needs a working 12V power supply for the motor to operate. If you prefer a manual step without a motor or wiring, you can also have a look at our manual double caravan step. Two wide steps The two aluminium treads have a ribbed non-slip surface to give you better grip when stepping in and out of the van. The step has a maximum static load rating of 200 kg. Having two steps instead of one gives you a more comfortable climb to the caravan door. It can be particularly handy on vans where the doorway sits a fair way off the ground. If you want a bit of extra support near the doorway, a caravan grab handle can also be fitted nearby. Dimensions Before ordering, check the dimension drawings in the product photos and measure the available space under your caravan door. Overall width: approximately 540 mm Open projection: approximately 693 mm Overall drop when open: approximately 324 mm Folded projection: approximately 371 mm Folded height: approximately 280 mm The mounting rails have both round and slotted holes, which gives some adjustment when lining the step up with the mounting point. The holes are designed to suit 12 mm bolts. Installation This step needs to be securely mounted underneath the caravan doorway and connected to the caravan's 12V electrical system. Because it involves both structural mounting and electrical wiring, we recommend having it installed by a caravan repairer, installer or auto electrician. The installer should also check that there is enough room for the step to fully extend and retract without hitting the chassis, suspension, plumbing or anything else underneath the van. Check the fit before ordering Caravan chassis and doorway setups can vary, so this isn't a universal fit for every van. Measure your available mounting area and compare it with the drawings before ordering. Pay particular attention to the overall width, the space needed when the step is folded, and how far it extends when open. If you're unsure whether it will fit your caravan, contact us before ordering and we'll help you check the measurements. Looking after your electric step Keep the step clean and remove any mud, sand or road grime from the moving parts after travelling. Check the mounting bolts and wiring connections from time to time, and avoid spraying high-pressure water directly at the motor or electrical components. The step comes with a 1-year RV Essentials warranty.
