Collection: Caravan Steps
Choosing the right caravan step can make getting in and out of your van a lot easier. Our range includes portable folding steps, manual pull-out steps and electric caravan steps, with single and double options available.
Some caravanners prefer a simple portable step they can move around and pack away. Others want a step permanently mounted under the caravan door. The best option depends on your van height, the space available underneath and whether you prefer manual or electric operation.
Choosing the Right Caravan Step
Which Caravan Step Is Right for You?
Portable Folding Caravan Steps
A portable folding step is a good option if you do not want anything permanently mounted to the caravan. Set it beside the door when you arrive, then fold it away again when you pack up.
They are also handy if storage space is tight. Depending on the model, a folding caravan step can fit in a tunnel boot, under a bed or inside another suitable storage compartment.
Manual Pull-Out Caravan Steps
Manual pull-out steps are mounted underneath the caravan door and stay with the van while travelling. When you arrive, simply pull the step out ready to use and fold it away again before you leave.
They are a straightforward option because there is no motor or electrical wiring to worry about. We stock both single and double pull-out steps, so you can choose the setup that best suits the height of your caravan doorway.
Electric Caravan Steps
Electric caravan steps are a convenient option if you would rather not pull the step out by hand. They run from the caravan's 12V electrical system and extend or retract using the electric drive system.
We have both single and double electric caravan steps available. A single electric step may suit vans with a lower doorway, while a double electric step can make the climb easier on caravans that sit higher off the ground.
Types of Caravan Steps
Single or Double Caravan Step?
The right choice mainly comes down to the height between your caravan doorway and the ground.

What to Check Before Buying
Before ordering a fixed caravan step, measure the area underneath the caravan door and compare it with the dimensions shown on the individual product page. Caravan chassis and doorway setups can vary, so it is worth checking the available width, folded depth and clearance before choosing a model.
For electric steps, you will also need a suitable 12V power supply and enough space for the wiring and electrical components. We recommend professional installation for electric models.
For portable folding steps, check the platform size, height and folded dimensions to make sure it suits both your doorway and your available storage space.
Caravan Step FAQs
What type of caravan step should I choose?
If you want something portable, a folding step is the simplest option. If you prefer a step that stays mounted to the caravan, choose a manual pull-out or electric step.
Is a single or double caravan step better?
That depends on how high your caravan doorway sits from the ground. A single step works well for lower entry points, while a double step gives you two smaller steps on higher caravans.
Do pull-out caravan steps fit every caravan?
No. Mounting space and chassis layouts vary between caravans. Always check the dimensions and mounting points on the individual product page before ordering.
Do electric caravan steps need 12V power?
Yes. Electric caravan steps need to be connected to a suitable 12V electrical system. Installation should be carried out correctly so the step operates safely and reliably.
Can I take a portable caravan step with me when travelling?
Yes. Portable folding steps are designed to be packed away when not in use. Depending on the model and your caravan layout, they can often be stored in a tunnel boot, under a bed or in another suitable storage area.
What should I check before ordering?
Check the step dimensions, available mounting space, doorway height, ground clearance and load rating. For electric steps, also check that you have suitable 12V power and room for the wiring.
