Never drive away with your step out again. This 12V Automatic Retracting Step Relay is an essential safety upgrade for any motorhome or campervan. Designed to protect your vehicle from costly damage and ensure passenger safety, this relay automatically triggers your electric step to retract the moment you start your engine.

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 Auto-Retract Relay?

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 relay makes the process foolproof.

• 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.
