Hi all, I travel with my 3 dogs whenever we go camping, and with one dog getting older, I’m looking for a folding set of dog steps that can be mounted and folded up under the side doors.
We had the same issue ,and I was never able to figure out a good system that would still give me the ground clearance and ease on the side doors.
In the end I designed and built a system that I have used on various vehicles.The only drawback is the fact it was designed to fit a rear hitch.I placed the entry on the driver side rear door so as not to hide the plate.The ramps I bought on eBay and have actually held up really well and with it being on the back of the vehicle it doesn't,t pick up all the road grime.
I made one. I used a piano hinge to connect two pieces of wood; put some carpet on top for aesthetics and grip. Closes with a clip to hold shut. Can be used as a step into van or a bridge from van to a curb if parked close enough. Wasn't impressed with the designs I saw online but that one from blowby looks great.
PS - one of my dog's tricks is not liking ramps or bridges so it's a dance which is probably very entertaining.
