Shop TRA Australia’s range of bolt-on caravan steps for caravans, motorhomes and RVs. Permanently mounted beneath the vehicle entrance, bolt-on steps provide convenient entry access without the need to set up or store a separate portable step. Choose from single, double and triple-step configurations in aluminium and steel, with manual and 12V electric options available across the TRA range.
Choose the Right Bolt-On Caravan Step
The right bolt-on step depends on your caravan entry height, available mounting space, required step configuration and whether you prefer manual or powered operation. Measuring your installation area before ordering is particularly important with permanently mounted caravan steps.
| Step Type | Configuration | Best For |
|---|
| Single Bolt-On Step | Single stepping level | Lower entry heights where one additional step is required |
| Double Bolt-On Step | Two stepping levels | Providing an additional intermediate step for higher caravan entrances |
| Triple Bolt-On Step | Three stepping levels | Higher entry applications requiring additional stepping points |
| 12V Electric Step | Powered extension and retraction | Convenient powered access for regularly used caravan and RV entrances |

Manual vs Electric Bolt-On Caravan Steps
A manual bolt-on caravan step provides a simple permanently mounted solution that is manually extended for use and folded away before travelling. Manual models are a practical choice where straightforward operation is preferred.
A 12V electric caravan step provides powered extension and retraction for customers wanting greater convenience. Electric models require a suitable 12V electrical installation and are particularly useful for frequently used caravan and RV entrances.
Bolt-On Caravan Step Fitment
Before ordering a bolt-on caravan step, check the mounting-hole centres, overall width and depth, step drop heights, available mounting area and the clearance beneath the caravan. Also consider the space required by the step when it is both extended and folded away.
These measurements vary between step models and caravan installations, so always compare the individual product specifications with your vehicle before purchasing.
Mounting Hardware & Installation
Mounting bolts and nuts are not supplied with TRA bolt-on caravan steps. This allows the installer to select hardware appropriate for the particular caravan structure and mounting configuration.
For many installations, TRA recommends M8 galvanised bolts, with approximately 50–60 mm length commonly suitable. The required bolt length varies depending on the caravan, mounting structure and installation, so the final hardware selection should be based on the individual setup.
💡 TRA Expert Tip
Before replacing an existing caravan step, don't assume a similar-looking model will use the same mounting points. Check the mounting-hole centres and overall dimensions against the TRA product specifications first. Also check the available clearance beneath the caravan so the step has enough room to operate and fold away correctly.
