Front Cab Step
Hi Everyone
Does anyone actually use the additional nonslip step to get into the cab on the Mercedes I try not to but yesterday slipped on to it and it seems to have cracked near the front wheel arch or is it just a join.The whole thing seems very flimsy,there is some rust appearing through the sealant >has anyone done a refurb on these steps Are they part of the body moulding
Regards
Alan

Re: Front Cab Step
I have just checked mine and it is part of the AS body. I do use it to get in and out of the cab and while it does flex it always feels safe enough. The sealant on mine is green with algae at the moment, another cleaning job when the weather warms up,no sign of rust though.

Re: Front Cab Step
Gemdeco, I brought mine from Marquis and when i viewed it the steps both sides were badly cracked and slightly drooping. Marquis had them reinforced and repaired but would not warranty the work.
As it was done at no cost to me and I rarely use the cab doors preferring to get in and out of the habitation door they should last fine. the work was done at the beginning of August and still looks fine. I'm afraid I don’t know exactly what they did or how to resolve the issue.

Re: Front Cab Step
Im fairly "chunky" and always use the fibreglass step on my peugeot based nuevo and so far no problems, although I am on record as being critical of the standard of fibreglass work in my nuevo - and indeed on motorhomes in general

My 2008 Devon had cracking around the sealant at the wheel arch end. Added replacement sealant and it is OK now. I use the step all the time and it is ok now.
