We are in the process of purchasing a Bessecar Motorhome, while I can access the van form the habitiation door without using a step, this is not always going to be convenient, as we will be travelling with our 2 dogs. I find the height of the cab to be quite high and difficult to access without having a step to get in, as my replacement knee restricts me. I am hoping to be able to take the van away on my own with my dogs so therefore a permanent step, such as an electric omnistep would be useful. Any help or suggestions with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in anticipation,

Debbie

It was quite easy to fit an Omni step to a Sevel van (as in the older X250 pictured above) but then, in 2017 on the X290, they put a plastic AdBlue tank in the way on the nearside. If the OP has the X250, or non-AdBlue version, then there’s not a problem.

The wiring to allow automatic retraction on closing the door was a different matter - far from easy.

Conflicting info online re Ad Blue. I have a 2017 Euro 6 Fiat Ducato-based A-class and there's no Ad Blue tank required.

Omnistor are not the only steps available. Project 2000 make them too.

Hence I said "or non-AdBlue version".

As far as I am aware, Euro6 Fiat does not use AdBlue but Euro6 Peugeot does. My Pug certainly does.
