My Bessacar 410 has the double electric step and had planned to use the wide black double step sold in most dealerships but due to mobility issues it would help to have about an extra 3 inches of height on them but cant seem to find any, do they exist or are there alternate was to ease the entrance steps?

So far only ever seen single and double steps - recently seen fold up double steps in metal

the only real mobility assistance I've seen is a side lift to the Hab door similar to tailgate hoists but stored under the side of the motorhome

Yes same for me have an electric step. Bit of a drop as you step out the van down the steps, wouldn't be a problem but after having a knee replacement :X3: knee gets inflamed after few times in and out the van, have free standing ones at the minute, but still looking? Someone mentioned when they purchased the steps with handrail. Kept hitting their door, lots of research and measuring, or adapt ones to suit your needs. Good luck

If you Google "Portable steps" there are several triple steps available.
I have some that were used when we had a shop. They also fold flat.

Have had a look as you suggested but almost all seem to be sold as ‘pet stair’ and I imagine are too lightweight for a human. Might be wrong but thank you as we have a new direction to search

Im sure someone near you could make something to your specs, wouldn't be much trouble to someone who knows their way around a welder.

We had a free standing step, or rather about 4 of them. It's too easy to drive off and forget to put the step inside. I solved it by having a notice which I left on the drivers seat. "Don't forget the step you idiot."

If payload and space are not an issue, find a local carpenter who could design and make you a custom set.

Or even a local metalworker.

Looking at the three step set above I was wondering if you are a solo traveller;

Once you're in how do you handle the steps outside of you are about to depart?

And the reverse, if you've arrived and wanted to dismount?
