1.1- Electric Habitiation Door Step Alarm for motorhome
Never drive away with your step out again. This Electric Habitiation Door Step Alarm is an essential safety upgrade for any motorhome or campervan. Designed to protect your vehicle from costly damage and ensure passenger safety, this alarm automatically triggers the moment you start your engine — and alerts you if the step is out.
Fully compatible with major electric step brands including Thule Omnistor, Omni-Step, Lippert, and Project 2000, this "fit and forget" solution provides peace of mind for every journey.
Why Install an Ignition Trigger Alarm?
It only takes one distracted departure to clip a high kerb or a bollard with an extended step. Manual switches are easy to forget; this alarm makes the process foolproof — warning you when the step is out before you move.
- Step Out Alert: Triggers an alarm if the step is out when the ignition is turned on, preventing drive-away accidents.
- Damage Prevention: Automatically closes the step before the vehicle moves.
- Safety First: Eliminates the risk of driving with a protruding step, protecting pedestrians and cyclists.
- Battery Protection: Ensures the step motor is not left under tension once fully retracted.
- NCC Standard Ready: Helps your UK build meet professional safety protocols for leisure vehicles.
