My step is sinking - Stepfoot

How we turned campers into #happycampers

The products we developed together with our #happycampers.

"On soft surfaces, the legs of my step sink in. This does not have a good effect on my groundsheet and tent carpet... Moreover, the step crooked, which increases the chance of accidents. This is not very handy! Can you think of something for this?"

The development of the Stepfoot

HABA is market leader in the field of, among others,
steps (single or double) for caravans/campers.
Several years ago we were confronted by customers with the fact that on softer surfaces,
the legs of the step would sink into the ground.
Sometimes even damaging the ground cloth and tent carpet.
In addition, it is annoying when the step stands askew and unsteady.

That is why at the time, HABA started with the development of Stepfoots,
for the various HABA steps (steel and aluminum).
The difficulty was that at the same time it had to have an adjustable base,
while taking into account possible heavy loads up to 150kg.
After various prototypes and models, HABA ultimately succeeded
in creating a good and safe solution to the problem present.

HABA is continuously working on product improvements
for the leisure industry, either in usability as in safety.
We have a specialist design team, which uses 3D drawing
programs and a private 3D print facility.
This allows us to quickly develop prototypes and assess
with the customer if the product adds value for the end consumer.

We know how important it is to have a safe step for your caravan or camper, especially on softer ground. The Stepfoot is the perfect solution to this problem. It has been designed together with our customers to guarantee the most stable and safe step for your caravan or camper.

In this video we show you how to assemble the Stepfoot and adjust it to the desired height.

Let's get started.

Step 1: Turn the Darwin step upside down.

Step 2: Unscrew the bolt at the bottom of each leg.

Step 3: The plastic caps can now be removed.

Step 4: Place the Darwin / London Stepfoot on the Darwin step.

Step 5: Adjust the height of the Stepfoot with the lever on the side of the step.

Step 6: Secure the Stepfoot with the bolts.

And that's it! You now have a safe and stable step for your caravan or camper, even on softer surfaces.

Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy your Stepfoot.
