The Boon Step is designed to empower elderly RV users to continue enjoying the thrill of the open road, confidently and independently. Developed with thoughtful features to address common challenges with regular RV steps, The Boon Step redefines safety and accessibility for campers with mild mobility limitations.
Elderly RV campers with mild to moderate mobility impairments face significant challenges with safety and accessibility when entering and exiting RVs. Current market solutions often cater to either severe disabilities or none at all, leaving a critical gap for a large segment of elderly users.
Primary research was conducted, involving 40 survey participants, three in-depth interviews with health professionals, and product comparisons. This research revealed a gap in the RV step market for elderly individuals with mild mobility issues. Existing steps primarily cater to users who require full assistance, neglecting the needs of independent users with milder conditions.
