Thule Electronic Step Control Switch is a compact, rugged electronic control box designed to work with Thule Omni-Step 12V electric steps. It brings hands-free entry to your RV, caravan, or motorhome by coordinating step deployment with door action and vehicle operation.

• Automatic deployment and retraction: The step automatically unfolds as soon as the door opens and folds back up when the door closes, delivering seamless, one-handed access every time.
• Door-sensor intelligence: Built-in sensing keeps the step in lockstep with your vehicle’s door, preventing inadvertent deployment and enhancing overall safety during travel and stops.
• Flexible operation modes: The included switch lets you choose between auto mode (step responds to the door) and a stationary/extended mode when you’re parked for extended periods.
• Universal compatibility within the Thule 12V line: Designed to install as an option with any Thule Omni-Step electric steps, ensuring a cohesive, integrated control solution for your setup.
• Safety and convenience in one package: By automating the step behavior, it reduces the need for manual steps and minimizes the risk of leaving the step extended while driving or moving the vehicle.
• Durable, RV-ready design: Built to withstand the realities of road use and varying weather, keeping your entry system reliable mile after mile.

How it helps in real-world scenarios: when you pull into a campsite and the door opens, the step greets you without reaching for a switch. On days when you’re in and out frequently, auto deployment means you won’t fumble with controls. When departing, the door sensor ensures the step neatly retracts, preserving clearance and reducing wear on the mechanism. This is especially valuable for tight campsites, family trips, or multi-stop itineraries where quick, safe access matters most.

This control switch is ideal for RV and motorhome enthusiasts who rely on Thule Omni-Step electric steps and want an extra layer of convenience and safety. It’s particularly advantageous for users who frequently load gear, travel with children or pets, or prefer not to fumble with multiple switches during entry and exit.
