Electrical Steps and Automatic Stair Equipment for Your RV

Many RVs sit off the ground pretty high and even if you are young athletic person having a step makes a lot of sense. Indeed, I am a young such person and have been to places and stepped out of the RV without deploying the automatic step and fallen flat on my butt due to the black invisible ice on the ground which had formed a thin layer over night. Whoops and see ya, you hit the ground that fast along with whatever you are carrying.

It is for this reason that I recommend installing an electrical step system. But I also recommend never forgetting to put it back up before driving. Some of the more advanced systems have automatic switches, which put them up when you move, but most do not have such features. Just a deploy and retract switch.

For my RV, I chose the KwiKee Electric Step System, with a double step. Of course my RV sits off the ground fairly high, because it is on a Truck Chassis, but the company makes several models with one, two, three and four steps. Many of the top Manufacturers of RVs and travel trailers have the same systems on them.

The systems are very easy to use and come with a light so that you can see where you are putting your feet down at and this can be important in the dark; also good because if you drive without forgetting to put them up they glow in the dark as you drive. Why do I recommend the KwiKee Electric Step? Well I have had trouble free steps for four years and it has now been to every state you can drive to in the US and nearly every province in Canada. So, I would say it passes my criteria for durability; how about yours?
