Camco 43470 Step Stool, 300 lb Capacity, Gray Plastic
Camco 43470 Step Stool, 300 lb Capacity, Gray Plastic — Product description
The Camco 43470 is a simple, sturdy one-step stool that earns its keep around the RV, the boat, and the house. It holds up to 300 pounds on a textured, non-slip platform, and the impact-resistant resin shrugs off sun and weather. Lightweight and gray, it tucks away when you're done and nests for easy storage.
Every rig needs a good step stool, and the Camco 43470 is one of those quiet pieces of gear you end up reaching for every single day. It's a single-step plastic stool built to take real weight, up to 300 pounds, on a wide textured platform that keeps your feet planted. No wobble, no folding mechanism to pinch your fingers, just a solid place to stand when you need a little more height.
Camco molds it from a UV-stabilized, impact-resistant resin, which is a fancy way of saying it won't get brittle or fade after a summer parked in the sun. That matters more than folks think. A cheap stool left in a hot cockpit locker or an RV pass-through bay turns chalky and cracks. This one's made to live outdoors and keep going. The gray color hides scuffs and blends in wherever you stash it.
Around the RV, it's the tool you grab to reach the awning, wipe down the front cap, clean the windshield, or check the roof vents and AC shroud. It gets the shorter members of the crew up into a tall entry doorway without a scramble. Backing into a tight campsite and need to guide the driver? Stand on it for a better sight line. A lot of motorhomes and travel trailers keep one parked right inside the door for exactly this reason.
On the boat, it's just as handy. Use it to step up onto a trailer bunk during a wash-down, reach into a tall T-top storage box, or give yourself a boost climbing aboard at a high fixed dock. Back home it earns its spot in the garage, the kitchen, and the closet, anywhere you keep coming up an inch or two short. At 300 pounds of capacity, it holds any adult in the family with margin to spare.
The platform surface is textured, so wet boots and bare feet both stay put. That's the whole point of a step you actually trust. Because it doesn't fold, there are no hinges to loosen or rust, and nothing to collapse underfoot. The trade-off is that it keeps its shape all the time, so you'll want a spot to tuck it away. Good news there. It's light enough to carry one-handed, and it nests, so if you run a couple of them they stack down small in a bay or a lazarette.
The footprint stays compact. It measures 9-1/4 by 10-7/8 by 17-3/8 inches, so it slides into a storage bay, a cockpit locker, or the gap behind a seat without eating up the room you need for the gear that actually matters.
Care is about as easy as it gets. Hose it off, wipe it down, and it's ready to go. There's no fabric to mildew, no metal to rust, and no moving parts to service. Give it a rinse after a salty day and it'll look sharp for years. Toss it in the truck bed, the RV basement, or the dock box and forget about it until you need it.
Who's it for? Just about everyone. First-time RV owners setting up a new trailer, weekend anglers rigging a center console, snowbirds who want a hand climbing into a tall coach, and anyone tired of dragging out a full ladder for a one-step job. What it's not is a multi-step ladder or a tall work platform for big overhead projects. It's a single step meant for quick, everyday height, and it stays in its lane on purpose. That focus is exactly why it holds up. For the daily stuff, getting into the rig, reaching a shelf, washing the hull, it's honestly hard to beat.

Frequently asked questions
How much weight can the Camco 43470 step stool hold?
It's rated for up to 300 pounds, so it handles any adult in the family with room to spare.
Does this step stool fold up?
No, the 43470 is a rigid, non-folding stool. That means no hinges to loosen and nothing to collapse while you're standing on it. It does nest, so multiples stack down for storage.
What are the dimensions?
It measures 9-1/4 inches by 10-7/8 inches by 17-3/8 inches, a compact footprint that slides into a storage bay, cockpit locker, or closet.
Is the platform slippery when wet?
The standing surface is textured to help keep wet boots and bare feet from sliding, which is exactly what you want on a boat or at a campsite.
What is it made of?
A UV-stabilized, impact-resistant resin. It's built to live outdoors without turning brittle or fading in the sun.
Can I leave it outside in the sun?
Yes. The UV-stabilized resin is made to handle sun and weather, so it holds up parked in a cockpit, on a patio, or in an open storage bay.
How many steps does it have?
One. It's a single-step stool meant for quick, everyday height, not a multi-step ladder.
What color is it?
Gray, which hides scuffs and blends in wherever you keep it.
Is it easy to store?
Very. It's light enough to carry one-handed, and because it nests, a couple of them stack down small in a bay or lazarette.
Is this the right pick for reaching high overhead projects?
It's built for a single step of height, like getting into a tall RV doorway or reaching a shelf. For big overhead work you'd want a proper multi-step ladder instead.
