3 tread steps

Hi Margaret

We would also be intrested in one of these ( you just beat me to it i was about to post the very same question).The only ones we can find are for statics and not really suitable for a tourer.

you wont find them anywhere I have been trying for years and have contacted the step manufacturers who cant help - the only way is to get someone to make them . I have given up after many years of trying and today bought a dukdalf mambo step with rail as its the only safest step I can find on the market but unfortunately its only 2 steps - but I think it could be modified if you could somehow make a peice of wood to fit underneath just a bit wider thant the width of the steps but which is thick enough to create a step which projects out at the front. My wife is disabled and finds it difficult so this is the only compromise I can think of (other than making one).
 
Hi Steve

we also have the Dukdalf as my wife is also disabled , iwas hoping someone on the forum might know where the 3 tread could be got.

Thanks .

Tom
 
We also looked for one but no luck. surely ther must be a demand for this type of step? Even better if it can be manipulated to increase or decrese its full height by about 3 or 4 inches.
 
Thank you all for your info re: 3 tread steps.I too am disabled and find the 2 steps difficult to climb, they need to be slightly lower between steps, hence 3 steps would make sense. Surely it shouldn't be too difficult for manufacturers to address this. There is obviously a demand for them. I shall keep looking amd will let you know if I am lucky. Margaret.
 
My wife had difficulty using a single step. I was looking for a double step which gave three equal risers into our van but it proved impossible to find one. My solution was to get a friend of mind who has an engineering workshop to make one to my dimensions complete with a detachable handrail. The cost was
 
Hi James

Your friend who made yours could make himself a few quid i would certainaly be interested in buying a set from him as im sure a few others would if he is interested.

I will supply my e-mail address privately.

Those of you using Dukdalf steps, do you have to take the handle off to get it in the van? The step looks as if should fold, but it doesn't. Great product, though a little pricey.
 
Hi Emmerson.

I undo the handrail but leave one knob (excuse the pun) on, this lets the rail lie flat on the floor of the van while travelling but the steps stay upright very easy to do ,and put back when you stop the process doesnt even take a min.

Hope this helps.

Hi Tom

I have just spoken to my friend re making a set of caravan steps and yes he would be happy to quote you.

Mr Mod - Will you please pass my email address to Tom, thanks.

James
 
Hi James.

Many thanks for asking your friend to quote me for a set of steps as soon as i have finished sending this to you i will e-mail him.

Many Thanks .

Hi all.

Just to let you all know i recived an e-mail from Frys Caravans , they specialize in caravans for the disabled.

They can get the 3 tread steps made to your specs , they are based in Beverley ,near Hull.

Good Luck.

Tom
 
I was just looking for some shelf edging for my caravan and came across a company that specialises in teak wood products for the marine industry. I notice that in their product catalogue they had 3 tread boarding steps that could be dismantled for boats, it might be of interest to you all,try K J HOWELLS of Poole
