Lippert Single Entry Step — 12V Electric Pendulum Motion

Short Product Summary

The Lippert Single Entry Step (12V) is an automatic electric step built from lightweight aluminium and steel, with a pendulum motion for smooth extension. It's made for caravan and motorhome doorways, with an anti-slip footboard and a rated 300 lb weight capacity.

Why This Product

Caravan and motorhome steps take knocks from grit, salt air and constant use, and ordinary hinges or bushings can wear out or seize. This step runs on brass bushes for smooth movement over time, with galvanised and epoxy-coated steel parts to resist salt fog, and a sealed, waterproof sensor that warns if the step is left open. A thermal breaker protects the motor if it's ever put under too much strain.

Key Features

• 12V motor with pendulum motion – opens and closes smoothly on brass bushes
• Aluminium and steel construction – built for stability in changing conditions
• Galvanised, epoxy-coated steel parts – resists salt fog and corrosion near the coast
• Anodised footboard with anti-slip rubber – helps stop stagnant water sitting on the tread
• Waterproof open-step sensor – warns if the step has been left extended
• Thermal breaker and anti-shock clutch – protects the motor and gearbox from strain or knocks
• Manual release emergency system – lets you close the step by hand if needed

Ideal For

• Caravan and motorhome owners near the coast wanting a step that resists salt-air corrosion
• Anyone wanting an automatic single step with a smooth, pendulum-style motion
• Owners who want peace of mind if the step is left open thanks to the built-in warning sensor
