Can you fit an Omnistep to front cab of motorhome

It’s something we investigated for our Peugeot (same as the Fiat) and it seems very unlikely it can be fitted due to lack of underfloor space.

It’s too late for you now but the Mercedes Sprinter based MHs have lower access to the cab. 

something like this tread step might be ok, it's not cheap but provides fixed steps for both cab doors.

That would do the job - at a price!

I don't know where your habitation door is located debsdeb. Ours is just behind the cab. We put our Hymer MH on ramps for the first time the other day and OH was finding the hab door step a little high. She also finds the cab one difficult and prefers using the habitation door. I think we will put in a low plastic step for such eventualities. The affect of ramps was not really something we considered when buying it. 

I’d be tempted to look at a Land Rover folding step, the kind used in Defenders. You might have to get fitter to modify, and find some way of folding up and down once in cab, but might do the job.  Or if you are alone, just use an ordinary caravan step, tie some thin rope to it, so that you can pull it in after you and dump it in other footwell. We used to carry a small footstool to get MIL into our 4x4s, worked a treat. 😁

yes, I said it wasn't cheap, but it covers both sides of the van and how much for two Omnistore sliders?

a single manual at just over £100 or an electric one at £250-£320?

not cheap either.

What about a (nice) plastic caravan step?

I’ve not checked the price of the sliding Omnistors as my findings suggested they wouldn’t fit.

Those you linked to certainly look the part, BB, but I’m not sure it would fit on the nearside as the AdBlue tank could well be in the way. The advantage over a sliding step is that no electrical work would be needed. They have a lot going for them - except price😋.

yes they do, DD, I just didn't know about the viability for the 'normal' Sevel cab, although I'd expect the underpinnings to be the same.
