I learnt a new word today, thanks to MMM. Rivnuts. It seems that using these I could fit side steps without drilling right through the van floor. I have seen pics on ebay of Thule sliding side steps with 4 brackets with fixing holes above, but you can also buy a plastic fitting kit. Which would be best? Also, would SS or zinc Rivnuts be preferable? I was thinking of using manual steps but fitting some sort of warning device. Is there a suitable switch?
I didn't notice when we bought the van that there was no step fitted, all the others I looked at had them. Oh, I thought, plastic ones are cheap enough. The first ones tipped over and broke. Sore ankle. The second I backed over, but it did straighten mostly. Plus the drop is so big that access is difficult without, and they get in the way inside the van.
