Hi, I have a small plastic stool, with a hole drilled into the top, for a rope. I have this because the step up to the cab, is to high for me ( Bad knee) cost about £3/£5 often from a "pound" shop . The reason for the rope, is so that when I get in van I can then pull my step/stool up, or if getting out hoist it down. If it breaks after a year or so, just get another one (Cheaper than buying steps.)
