Caravan Steps & Handles Australia: Safe and Easy Access to Your Van
Safe entry starts with a stable step and a solid handhold. Choose a step that matches your van height and a grab handle that sits at a natural reach so you move in and out without strain. Our range includes single and double folding steps plus stainless steel grab handles that suit Australian touring conditions and daily use.
Caravan Single Steps
The Caravan Single Step 600mm is a compact choice for lower vans and camper trailers. The wide anti slip tread provides secure footing and the folding frame stows neatly when you hit the road. Ideal where storage space is tight and you want quick set and pack.
Double Caravan Steps
The NCE Double Caravan Step gives a shorter rise per step which makes climbing easier. It suits higher tourers and anyone who prefers a gradual climb including families and older travellers. The folding design keeps it tucked away under the doorway when not in use.
Caravan Grab Handles
A grab handle turns a step into a safe staircase. The 300mm Stainless Steel Grab Handle is corrosion resistant and easy to clean. It gives a firm grip in wet and dusty conditions and it is a popular fit for older travellers who want extra confidence at the door.
Step types compared
| Type | Best for | Strengths | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single folding step, 600 mm | Lower vans, compact rigs, quick setups | Lightweight, fast to deploy, wide anti slip tread | Higher first step on tall vans, use a grab handle for balance |
| Double folding step, 560 mm | Taller tourers, families, older travellers | Lower rise per step, easier climb, stable platform | Slightly heavier, confirm ground clearance when retracted |
| Portable step stool | Occasional use, soft ground with base board | Flexible placement, handy around camp | Needs storage space, secure on travel days to prevent movement |
Pick by entry height and user mobility. A grab handle beside the door improves confidence on any step style.
Sizing and fitment guide
| Door sill to ground | Recommended step | Grab handle placement | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to roughly 350 mm | Single folding step, 600 mm | Beside latch, wrist at neutral height when standing on ground | Carry a base board for soft sand or grass |
| Roughly 350 to 520 mm | Double folding step, 560 mm | Beside latch, wrist at neutral height when standing on first tread | Check retracted clearance near chassis and mudflap |
| Over 520 mm or lifted vans | Double step plus grab handle mandatory | Taller handle or a second interior grab point | Confirm step rise is comfortable for the smallest user |
Measure with the van on level ground. If you tow off road, re check on typical ride height. Comfort improves when the top tread sits close to sill height.
Installation and user focused setup
Dry fit the step and confirm the mechanism clears the door and body trim. Use existing chassis mounting points where possible and torque fixings evenly. Fit the grab handle at a natural reach height. Stand on the ground then on the first tread and confirm the wrist is straight in both positions. On soft sites place a firm board under the step feet to stop sinking. Keep the tread clean of mud and sand, and add grip tape if shoes get wet often.
Care and maintenance
After dusty or salty trips rinse the mechanism and let it dry before stowing. Lubricate pivots lightly with a silicone friendly spray. Check hinge pins, latch detents and mounting bolts each month of regular use. For stainless handles wipe with fresh water then a mild detergent to avoid tea staining.
