ESSENTIAL OVERLAND GEAR: RV step
Metal Depsunny folding stool offers a sturdy, nonslip boost for reaching your rig roof or climbing in more easily
Sometimes you need a step up. Depsunny aluminum RV steps provide a hand when you need to reach your roof or just climb intp your rig more easily.
The foldable step, which is 15 inches by 19 inches, has nonslip gripper strips on top, boosting you up to 9.3 inches from the ground.
Depsunny was recommended to me by Gavin McCalden at Vanlab in Durango. He said his stool had earned its place by withstanding being driven into by his custom vans.
The plastic steps we got from Walmart served us for seven years but were eventually destroyed by multiple encounters with tires. We even purchased another set after we lost our first steps at .
We paid $39.99 for our , which supports up to 1,000 pounds.
