A sturdy, lightweight step stool built for RV life -- whether you need an extra boost to reach overhead cabinets, a second entry step outside your rig, or a stable platform at the campsite. The Camco 43470 handles up to 400 lbs on a wide platform and packs down light for easy storage.
RV living constantly puts things just out of reach -- the top bunk mattress, a high cabinet, an awning latch, or even your own doorway if you have just one entry step. The Camco 43470 closes that gap with a platform wide enough to stand on confidently and a 400 lb weight rating that covers virtually every adult user without drama.
The molded gray polypropylene construction keeps weight low so you can toss it in a storage bay and forget it is there until you need it. The open-slot platform design lets dirt, mud, and gravel fall through rather than tracking into your coach -- a small detail that matters a lot on muddy campsites.
Rated for up to 400 lbs of static load, making it reliable for virtually all adult users in real-world RV conditions.
Platform measures approximately 9.25 in x 10.875 in -- wide enough for a secure two-foot stance at entry or workspace height.
Open slots in the top platform let dirt, gravel, and mud fall through so less debris tracks into your RV.
Hollow leg openings accept optional stabilizing pegs so the stool stays planted on uneven or soft ground at the campsite.
The most common use is as a supplemental outside entry step -- if your RV has a single folding step, adding the Camco 43470 below it shortens the stride height and makes entry and exit easier for passengers of all ages. It also works well inside the coach for reaching upper cabinet rows, and outside for tasks like washing windows, checking roof vents, or accessing high exterior storage compartments.
The hollow openings in the legs are designed to accept wooden or plastic dowel pegs (not included) that can be pressed into soft ground to prevent the stool from shifting. On hard surfaces like concrete pads or asphalt, the flat leg bases provide adequate grip on their own. On grass or gravel, pegs or placing the stool against the RV's step riser makes a noticeable stability improvement.
The step is injection-molded from gray polypropylene -- UV-resistant enough for regular outdoor exposure, resistant to cleaning chemicals, and unaffected by rain or dew. The slot-and-rib structure distributes load across the platform rather than concentrating it at a single point, which is how a lightweight plastic piece achieves a 400 lb rating. It is not meant for use as a ladder rung or a scaffold -- single-level stepping use only.
