You know what doesn’t get enough love in the RV world? Steps.
We spend all this time talking about tow ratings and tank capacities and tire PSI—but the thing you actually use most on any trip? It’s the steps. You go in and out of your rig a dozen times a day, and when it’s raining or muddy or freezing out, those steps can become a slippery, grimy mess. Ask us how we know.
So, let’s talk about keeping your RV (and home) steps safe, clean, and low-maintenance—no matter the weather. And yeah, we’ve got a new product to help with that, too.
Why Slippery Steps Are a Bigger Deal Than You Think
Let’s be real: RV steps can be downright sketchy in bad weather. If it’s been raining all day or you’ve tracked in snow from a cold-weather campsite, your steps become a slip-and-slide waiting to happen.
Especially for older RVers (or if you’ve got kids or pets), slick steps can be a real hazard. And even if you don’t take a tumble, tracking mud and grit inside your rig makes for extra cleanup—something no one wants on vacation.
Wraparound Carpets: Meh.
You’ve probably seen those wraparound RV step carpets before. They’re soft, they wrap around your steps… and they last about five minutes. Once they get wet, they hold moisture like a sponge. And unless you’re pressure washing them every other day (who is?), they start to look (and smell) pretty nasty real quick.
Not to mention—if your step size isn’t standard, good luck getting a clean fit.
Enter: Tuff Tred
We built Tuff Tred to be the smarter, tougher, forever fix for slippery, dirty steps. It's a 20” wide rubber step mat that adheres with genuine 3M peel-and-stick backing. So no tools. No nonsense.
You just clean your step, peel the backing, stick it on, and boom—you're done.
The rubber is texturized for traction, so it holds up to wet boots, dirty paws, icy mornings, and everything in between. It’s built to last, and it’s easy to clean—just wipe it down.
And yeah, you can trim it to fit smaller or odd-shaped steps with a utility blade. So whether you're rocking an RV, a cabin, a deck, or even steps up to your hot tub, Tuff Tred's got you covered.
