  • Automatic step for recreational vehicles
    Patent number: 5547040
    Abstract: An automatic entryway step system for recreational vehicles and motor homes which extends and retracts a step in response to a momentary push button switch located inside the vehicle near the door. A safety retraction system automatically retracts the step when the vehicle ignition is turned on, but only if the vehicle parking brake is not engaged. If the vehicle ignition system is turned on while the parking brake is engaged, a step warning indicator will be activated to alert the driver that the step is extended. If the parking brake is released, the step will retract and the warning indicator will be turned off.
