ABSTRACT:
A door step surface area is enlarged on a motor home by use of a removable step cover which is larger in area than the step. The cover includes a downwardly extending flange along its rear edge which merges into a forwardly extending flange which extends under the downwardly extending flange along the rear of the step and limits upward and forward movement of the cover on the step. An L-shaped locking element is provided on the lower side of the step cover along the front and includes one leg adjustably connected to the step cover with the other leg extending downwardly and rearwardly into engagement with the lower edge of the downwardly extending flange on the front of the step. The downwardly extending flange is resiliently flexible allowing it to snap in and out of engagement with the front step flange for attachment and removal of the step cover.
