How to Install 22″ RV Step Covers and a comparison to the Camco Step Covers

In our latest blog and video, we show how to install RV Step Covers. We installed 22″ RVGuard Step covers and did a comparison to our current Camco Step Covers.

Reasons for using RV Step Covers

  • KEEP YOUR RV CLEAN – the step covers work like doormats with ribbed carpeting material. The step covers collect dirt from shoes keeping the RV interior cleaner. (In our case, we keep shoes outside.) The top surface has an extra layer of padding to cushion the feet.
  • MAKE YOUR STEPS SAFER – the RV step covers add traction around slippery metal stairs. Any added traction is beneficial for little feet. Pets love step covers as well, taking away some of the fear from metal steps. In addition, the double-layer backing design makes the rug more durable and more comfortable for stepping.
  • EFFORTLESS INSTALLATION – easy to adjust fastening spring make Installation of the rugs a breeze. Just place the wraparound cover on your steps. Then attach springs with hooks to the appropriate grommet on the underside of the step cover. It’s that easy to install! The stainless steel springs are very robust, ensuring the step covers won’t fall off during traveling.
  • EASY TO CLEAN – the step covers are easy to remove to clean. Take off step covers. Spray off with a hose. You can brush lightly with hot soapy water. And then lay flat in the sun to dry. The step covers are designed with weather-resistant and fade-resistant material.

Thank you to RVGuard for allowing us to evaluate these products. They did asked us to evaluate thier product and we did give them packaging feedback which they have changed thanks to our suggestions.

Before owning an RV, I never gave RV step covers much of a thought. Having the Camco step covers for over a year, I didn’t have any complaints other than they tended to loosen after time. But, thanks to the RVGuard evaluation, I really liked the new step covers and really wish they came in a smaller size for my main steps.

Just know that if you own an RV with steps, and have kids and dogs, your future will hold a purchase of RV step covers so everyone in the RV will have cleaner, safer Bright Dais Ahead.
