The Step – Multipurpose Flat-Pack Step for Van Life & Overlanding

One Product. Multiple Uses. Less Gear to Carry.

In a van, SUV, or overland vehicle, every item needs to earn the space it takes up.

The Step replaces several bulky, single-purpose items with one compact and versatile solution. Use it as a sturdy step for reaching rooftop gear, an extra seat around camp, a small table for your laptop or morning coffee, or a convenient surface for cooking, organizing, and working on the road.

When you’re finished, it packs flat to just 2.5 inches thick, making it easy to store behind a seat, inside a cabinet, or neatly within a Front Runner Wolf Pack Pro storage box.

Built from premium birch plywood, weighing only 7 lbs, and engineered to support up to 475 lbs, The Step is proof that the most useful gear doesn’t need to take up the most space.

❤️ Why You’ll Love It

🪜 Replaces a Step Stool or Small Ladder

Reach rooftop cargo boxes, roof racks, awnings, bikes, kayaks, and elevated storage without carrying a bulky ladder.

The wide top provides a stable surface when loading gear, cleaning your vehicle, or accessing equipment stored above your reach.

🪑 Creates an Extra Seat Anywhere

Need another place to sit around camp?

The Step becomes an instant camp seat, footrest, or perch while cooking, relaxing, changing footwear, or spending time outside your vehicle.

Use The Step as a compact surface for your laptop, tablet, camera equipment, coffee, meals, or everyday gear.

It is especially useful for remote work, campsite organization, food preparation, or creating an extra surface when space inside your vehicle is limited.

📦 Packs Flat for Compact Storage

The Step packs down to only 2.5 inches thick, allowing it to slide into tight spaces where a traditional stool, chair, table, or ladder would never fit.

It also fits inside Front Runner Wolf Pack Pro storage boxes for convenient and organized travel.

🛠️ Built for Life on the Road

The Step is designed for the way people actually travel.

Instead of filling your vehicle with a separate ladder, stool, chair, table, and work surface, you can carry one compact product that adapts throughout the day.

Use it while loading your vehicle in the morning, as an extra seat at lunch, as a laptop table in the afternoon, and as a convenient surface beside the campfire at night.

Its flat-pack construction means it provides plenty of function without permanently occupying valuable living or storage space.

🚐 Designed for Vans, SUVs and Overland Vehicles

Small spaces demand smarter products.

The Step is compact enough for camper vans, SUVs, RVs, overland rigs, micro campers, and everyday vehicles. Its manageable size makes it easy to move between the interior, campsite, garage, or workshop whenever an extra step, seat, or surface is needed.

Whether you travel every weekend or live on the road full-time, The Step gives you more functionality without adding unnecessary clutter.

📦 Compact and Travel-Ready

Traditional step stools, camp chairs, ladders, and tables can quickly consume valuable storage space.

The Step packs flat to only 2.5 inches thick, making it easy to tuck behind a seat, place inside a cabinet, slide under a bed platform, or store inside a compatible gear box.

It is ready when you need it and out of the way when you don’t.

🛠️ Strong, Durable and Functional

Crafted from premium birch plywood, The Step delivers dependable strength without unnecessary weight.

Its wide platform and durable construction create a stable surface for standing, sitting, working, or supporting gear. Despite weighing only 7 lbs, it can support up to 475 lbs.

The result is a lightweight accessory that is strong enough for everyday use at home, at camp, and on the road.
