How to Fold RV Steps
The steps on an RV or camper are provided for safety and convenience. They can prevent accidents and provide ease of entry and exit. The steps on an RV or camper must be folded in during travel and are folded out for use while the vehicle or camper is parked. There are several types and sizes of steps that are used on an RV, but they are all folded in the same manner.

Tips & Warnings
