Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Entrance Door Step(s)
Make sure your entrance step is fully
extended before exiting the vehicle, and
retracted prior to towing.
Lubricating the step mechanism
Carefully clean the area around the pivot
points (the rivets involved in the motion
of the mechanism). Lubricate these pivot
points with an automotive grade, non-stain-
ing lubricant every 30 to 60 days.
Wipe any excess lubricant off of the step and
then clean the entire step after lubricating.
Step Light
Your RV may be equipped with a switch located on the skirt (in front of the steps) which
operates a light located under the step assembly.
Stowable Entrance Door Step (if so equipped)
Do not try to lift the steps while the door is closed. This may cause dam-
age to the steps and the door.
When returning steps to the stored position: adjustable feet may have to
be retracted to fit inside the door opening.
Make sure people and pets are clear of the area when rotating the steps
down to the ground or raising them for storage.
Maximum Weight Capacity 500 lbs.
Maintain hold of the steps until lowered all the way to the ground.
Prior to use, legs must be adjusted properly to ensure the step is level.
Ensure that both latches are engaged when the steps are stored.
Failure to follow these instructions could lead to damage to the unit or
serious injury.
Your RV may be equipped with one (or two) sets of the Stowable Entrance Steps. With these
steps, there is no accessible steps mounted on the exterior of the RV. They are a one piece
solid (3 or 4 step) assembly that latches inside the doorway of the RV. The steps rotate down
and out of the doorway, and include two adjustable feet to provide stability while parked on
rough terrain. The step assembly weighs 17 lbs. and has a weight capacity of 500 lbs.
NOTE: Certain models may have dual gas struts built into the step
mechanism make the steps very easy to raise and lower in place.
