Electric step to front passenger door Hymer B578 2012. (1 Viewer)

[Gerry77]

Has anyone fitted an electric step to the front passenger door as my good lady who is neither a high jump champion or an Amazon and finds the step up and down even worse? Any sensible suggestions besides stilts please?

I had one fitted to the passenger door for the same reason after getting up and down at toll booths across France a few years ago. I can't remember cost etc. I will ask Steve and get back to you later

There was a thread a few weeks back at the same problem.

Thanks very much, look forward to your info.

Steve says we got it from Mick at S.A.P. and that he is in reviews on here. He can't remember the cost and neither can I, it was about 5 years ago. It can't have been really expensive as we would both remember that!!! I'll see if I can find an invoice for it.

Ok, I can try SAP but thanks for offering to hunt for an invoice.

Sorry, had a good look but it's not on my filing system it must be up in the loft with our old accounts.

Quite easy on an A Class I have the factory option on my driver's door. Make sure you get a Thule step the Project 2000 that Hymer fit are rubbish. They are about £300 plus any fitting costs if not doing it yourself.

Please dont worry but thanks for offering.

And if you get the slide out one in its not as low as the drop down one.

Thanks Lenny I was thinking we paid around 500 quid for ours. Edited to say it was about 5 years ago

Jacksons have them at 312, it would be 2 or 3 hours to I would think as its not job anyone does often.

Thanks Lenny, is yours the slide out or the drop down type please ?

Slide out I don't think you could fit a drop down one there.

 

[Gina M]

Ours is the drop down one with an alarm if still down when ignition key is turned. I always get a tut for that!!! well it slides out then drops down.

Hate to give out the wrong info. Just double checked and the passenger door step on our Frankie is a slide out the drop down is the hab door.

I did wonder how they had managed to fit it.

Yes it was your comment that made me double check Lenny

 

[Gerry77]

So, on recommendation the solution is a Thule slide out step. So far my best price is O’Learys at £249. Will check out any other possibles before pressing the go button.
Thanks for the info all.

I don't like my slide out...too slow and doesn't drop down enough....much preferred the Thule slide and drop one I had on my prev vans.
And i kid you not ...what a coincidence...I left my pitch at Plassey this morning and got to the grey drive over drop and the step hadn't retracted in(no buzzer) ...a small stone had got stuck between the step and the cassette from the pitch. Prised the stone out and the step didn't wanna come out till I kicked and pulled it a few times..
Seems ok now.

Didn't think there was enough room under the drivers door to fit a dropdown one.

Mine has the Hymer fitted Project 2000 version. Van is now 10 year old and step still working perfectly.

You have been lucky, as steps go the biggest pile of poo ever. Lost count of the number of times I've repaired mine and know quite a few others with similar problems.

 

[Gerry77]

Update, as it wasn't raining too bad I decided to lie on my back and have a good look underneath where the step needs to go.
two immediate obstacles fuel filler pipe and exhaust pipe. I dont think there is enough clearance depth wise for the slide out one so will do closer more detailed survey. Looks doubtful to me.

Should fit, mines a factory fitted option.
I'll try to remember to take a photo in the morning.

 

[Gerry77]

Cheers, much appreciated. Look forward to your photo.

Finally remembered to take some photos, in the second pic you can see the top of the exhaust on the right bottom corner .
