After a weekend away in the New Forest in our Fleetwood Heritage, my 82 year old disabled Mum is now addicted to coming caravanning with us!

But she has difficulty getting up our normal 2 step caravan access steps. So we have been looking for "stylish" alternatives - as opposed to a "Dad Made" version in 2"X4"!!!!

We have looked at the Dukdalf step with side rail but at around £100 it seems a bit pricey. and the static caravan steps are incredibly bulky and heavy.

What we'd really like is the big round semi- circular steps that the manufacturers use at trade shows - about 3 feet diameter, chromed with a chequer-plate non-slip top - there is a small version avaialable called a mega-step but it really isn't big enough to allow one of us able-bodied to stand alongside her to steady her.


Anyone know where we might get a "trade show" set????

Some of the dealers actually sell them at shows, but at what cost? I do not know.

Hopefully have managed to find a 2nd hand set of the dukdalf steps as an interim measure - but would still like to track down the trade show version so welcome any leads!

How about the mega step.  Would it be gig enough?

Thanks for the replies

Unfortunately the mega step isn't wide enough - we did look at one - but the trade show versions are a kind of up-sized version! and would be perfect.

OH is averse to drilling holes in the van - but I think this might be our last option!!
