Safety and Maintenance Checklist for Caravan Steps

A quick routine keeps steps safe, quiet and reliable on tour. Use this checklist before trips and after rough roads.

Before You Travel

• Fasteners - check bolt torque and bracket integrity.
• Treads - non-slip surface clean, no lifting edges.
• Lighting - LED strip or courtesy light working for night use.
• Stow lock - step locked firmly for travel.

After Corrugations or Beach Runs

• Rinse dust/salt and dry.
• Inspect pivot points; apply plastic-safe dry lube if specified.
• Check wiring looms for chafe or loose clips (automatic steps).

Periodic Checks

• Look for paint chips and treat to prevent corrosion.
• Confirm no fouling on skirts, mudflaps, tanks or drains.
• Verify step deploys level and square.

Tip
Carry a small brush and cloth to keep treads grippy in wet or muddy conditions.
