Here’s a couple of questions that we are often asked.

I’ve heard of The Motorstep. What actually is it and how can a Motorstep help me?

•The Motorstep is a motorised portable step lift designed to help people with limited mobility overcome steps and raised thresholds safely, easily, and independently. This is both at home and while travelling in vehicles like motorhomes, RVs or caravans.

Key Benefits for People with Mobility Challenges

⭐️1. Provides Safe, Step-Free Access
Motorstep eliminates the need for climbing traditional steps, which can be difficult or unsafe for many people with mobility issues (e.g., balance problems, weakness, pain, or fatigue). Instead, users stand on a platform that lifts them smoothly to step height, reducing the risk of falls or strain.

⭐️2. Promotes Independence
One of the biggest advantages is that people can enter and exit their home or vehicle without assistance. This restores confidence and independence, especially important for those who dislike relying on others for basic access.

With easier access and less physical effort required, travellers may feel more confident taking longer trips or exploring more destinations, fully embracing the freedom that motorhome and RV holidays offer.

⭐️3. No Permanent Modifications Needed
Unlike ramps or fixed stair lifts, Motorstep is free standing and requires no drilling or permanent alterations to your motorhome, caravan, or home entrance. It can simply be placed where needed and stored when not in use.

⭐️4. Easy to Use
The lift operates with simple push-button controls. A wander lead/remote can also be fitted to the machine to allow a second person to operate the controls, allowing even people with limited strength to use it confidently.

⭐️5. Portable and Travel-Friendly
For holidaymakers, retirees, or anyone who wants to travel, Motorstep models are lightweight and weather-proof, easily fitting inside a motorhome or caravan and being set up quickly at each stop.

⭐️6. Multiple Contexts of Use
It’s not just for motorhomes — Motorstep can also help with garden access, home steps, raised decks, or other small level changes around your home or leisure vehicle.

💡 Who It Helps Most

Motorstep is particularly useful for people experiencing:
* Reduced mobility from ageing or chronic conditions
* Balance issues or risk of falls
* Pain or weakness that makes stepping difficult
* Fatigue that limits climbing stairs or steps
* Desire for independence when travelling or at home

In the UK, interest in motorhome and caravan holidays has increased significantly in recent years. About 20% of Brits are actively planning this type of holiday in the next 12 months.

In the United States, RV travel continues to surge. An estimated 28 million Americans plan to RV during the 2026 holiday season.

Why This Trend Is Happening❓

💰 Cost & Value
•Many travellers see motorhome/RV holidays as more cost-effective than traditional packages, especially with rising flight, hotel, and dining costs.
•This type of travel gives flexibility with budget planning — travellers can choose where and how long to stay and avoid extra flight costs.

🚐 Flexibility & Freedom
•Road-based holidays let travellers set their own pace, change destinations easily, and tailor routes — big pluses for those who value freedom and flexibility.

🌿 Nature & Wellness
•Many people are choosing touring holidays to be closer to nature, enjoy outdoor activities, and reduce time in crowded airports and hotels. Staycations and domestic touring holidays have grown since the pandemic, and interest in owning or renting motorhomes/campervans remains strong.

👨‍👩‍👧 Appeal to Diverse Groups
•Far from being just for retirees, this kind of travel is attracting younger adults, families, and digital nomads, including people working remotely on the road.

As remote work and desire for unique experiences continue, motorhome/RV holidays are likely to remain a major segment of travel trends in the next few years.

Motorhome and RV holidays are all about freedom and flexibility, but often these have steep or awkward steps. These can be a barrier for many travellers.

Motorstep helps remove these barriers, providing a smooth, powered lift that bridges the height difference safely, reducing the effort and risk involved in entering or exiting the vehicle. Making touring holidays more accessible, comfortable, and enjoyable.

Welcome to Motorstep! 👋🏻

We have had an influx of new followers to our page recently so we wanted to first welcome you and to tell you a little more about the Motorstep.

What is a Motorstep and How Do They Work?

Our Motorstep step lifts are small, fully portable powered platforms that help people move over short height differences.
Originally designed to help users access large steps in Caravan and Motorhomes, since being available to purchase they have been recommended by Occupational Therapists to help users around the home. The main obstacles around the home being a few steps at an entrance, porch, or inside a split-level building. The Motorstep gives the user the independence to navigate their home safely.

Instead of taking up a lot of space like ramps, the Motorstep is compact and stable and gently raises and lowers a standing person using a secure platform. Offering quick delivery and easy set up, the Motorstep is ideal for users who require a quick solution without having to have modifications or building works being made to their home. The lifts are fully weatherproof too so can be left outside when not in use.

They are easy to operate, using simple push buttons or a wander lead/remote. This makes them suitable for both independent users and those being assisted by a third party.

Our lifts run on rechargeable batteries, so they keep working even in the event of a power cut. They are built with safety and comfort in mind and include features like non-slip platforms, safety sensors, and smooth movement. Many models also come with optional extras like support straps, support frames, easy lift wheels and covers.

When not in use, step lifts can fold away or park neatly, helping to save space. This makes them a great option for homes, caravans, RVs, and commercial buildings where space is limited but accessibility is important.

Does it sound like one of our lifts could benefit you or someone you know? Why not speak with us in case you have anymore questions regarding your needs and we can suggest the step lift that suits you most.

Accessing raised areas like mobile home decking can be a major challenge for those with mobility issues. Traditional options like ramps or stair renovations often require costly, time-consuming work—and don’t suit everyone’s space or budget.

One customer found herself struggling more and more with the steps leading to her deck. Due to her disability, her once-loved outdoor space became difficult—and unsafe—to access. That changed when she discovered the freedom of using a motorised step lift.

Decking is meant to extend your home, offering space for fresh air, relaxation, and social interaction. But for this user, it became a source of frustration and risk:

⚠️Safety Concerns: Navigating steps increased the chance of falls and injuries.

⚠️Loss of Independence: Relying on others took away her confidence and freedom.

⚠️Limited Use of Space: She could no longer enjoy outdoor living or spend time with loved ones on the deck.

The Solution ✅: A Motorised Step Lift That Fits Any Home

Motorstep’s free-standing motorised step lift delivered a simple, effective fix—without requiring major changes to her home.

1️⃣ Quick Setup
No permanent installation or construction. Just place the lift next to the steps and start using it straight away.

2️⃣ Push-Button Operation
One-touch controls make it incredibly easy to use, even for those with limited strength or mobility.

3️⃣ Compact and Portable
The lift folds away discreetly and can be moved as needed, perfect for seasonal use or travel.

With this upgrade, she regained the ability to come and go freely, reconnecting with the world beyond her door.
