How RV Step Dirt Deflectors Keep Your Camper Clean in Davison, MI

Components of The StepSentry system are made of durable materials designed and engineered to redirect dirt, gravel, and debris away from your camper’s entry, preventing the mess, The Dirt Dump, that happens when steps fold up and into your doorway.

What causes the dirt dump problem?

The dirt dump occurs when fold-down RV steps flip upward into the doorway, spilling accumulated dirt, sand, and debris from the steps directly onto your camper floor.

Most RV steps collect whatever your shoes bring from the campsite. When you close up and travel, those steps fold inward. Everything sitting on top falls right inside your entry area.

Many campers try foot mats or carpet covers, but those only brush dirt off your shoes. The dirt still lands on the steps, waiting to dump inside. The StepSentry system solves the Dirt Dump by diverting and preventing debris from entering the camper.

How does The StepSentry system work?

Durably made deflectors and a deployable barrier mount to the steps.  When deployed before you fold-up and invert the steps, The StepSentry diverts and prevents dirt, gravel, sand, and mud away from your camper’s doorway.

The system works with your existing fold-down RV steps without requiring modifications to or interfering with their normal function. When you set up at a campsite, The StepSentry is retracted and stored in place therefore you will never lose it or have to look for it.

The StepSentry system stays in place during travel, and it deploys and retracts quickly at each new site.

Can this system handle Michigan campground conditions?

Michigan campgrounds often feature gravel pads, sandy lakeside sites, and muddy spring conditions that make dirt tracking a constant challenge for RV owners.

Davison, MI sits in an area with varied terrain and seasonal weather. Spring thaw brings mud. Summer trips to lakeside sites mean sand. Fall camping involves wet leaves and forest debris.  The StepSentry handles all of these conditions by creating a barrier that works regardless of what the ground throws at your entry area.

The materials used in construction of these products are durable and resists wear from repeated exposure to moisture and temperature changes. It performs reliably whether you are parked at a state park near Traverse City or a private campground closer to home.

Which RV owners benefit most from dirt deflection?

Frequent travelers, families with kids and pets, and anyone who camps in outdoor-heavy environments see the biggest improvement from a dirt deflector system.

If you find yourself sweeping or vacuuming your RV entry after every trip, a deflector reduces that cleaning time significantly. Families benefit because kids and pets track in more dirt than adults. Full-time RVers appreciate the long-term reduction in interior wear and maintenance.

Weekend campers also benefit. Even a short trip can create a mess if your site has loose gravel or damp ground. The deflector stores in place so you’ll never have to look for it.  Over time, that adds up to less work and more enjoyment of your camping experience.

What makes this solution different from other products?

Other RV step products focus on brushing dirt off your feet, but they do not prevent dirt from dumping inside your camper.

Carpet covers and foam mats attach to the top of steps. They help clean your shoes, but the dirt still falls onto the step surface. When those steps fold up, the debris goes right into your entry and onto the floor. A deflector eliminates the problem by diverting dirt during folding and before it can enter the camper.

This approach also avoids the frustration and the need to remove and replace your factory steps, which is expensive and time-consuming. The deflector enhances what you already have, making it a practical upgrade for any RV owner.

ByGeorgeWheelSystems LLC designs each dirt deflector to work with existing RV step setups, including MORryde and Lippert fold-down steps. The company operates from Davison, MI and ships nationwide to support RVers across the country. Purchase your upgrade by calling (833) 9SENTRY and start making memories instead of messes.
