Oooh, we must be getting a bit older. Has anyone put a step under the sliding door to help you in? I don't want anything fancy.

there is a stock step that slides out when the sliding door is opened.. IIRC it was an option on some 'velle's etc..

otherwise look for some freelander 1 side steps and employ a fabricator/welder

We have one of these, very sturdy and can also be used internally for getting into high top cupboards for those less than 6'

I've got a freelander one on mine.
Fits nicely.
It needed a bit of adapting/brackets made, but I'm very pleased with it.

We also have a Fiamma caravan step that we can move around.

Google ‘omnistep’ they start around £100 going up as you get bigger and go electric/automatic. It should bolt to the floor and flip out beyond the sill

I’ve fitted my omnistep now, I don’t think it qualifies as fancy but it wasn’t simple. Check it out in Restorations and Major Repair - procrastination neve rgot you anywhere
