Door Step - Help for my Short Wife

Folks
My perfectly formed but short wife finds that the small step up to the sliding door on our LHD T25 is a giant leap too far. So I need to fit a step. I don't want a step that has to be stored in the van - more junk to trip over and non-to-stable in use.
I believe that there's a T2 'running board' style step that can be welded onto a T25 and I've seen on somewhere a 'fold-away under the van' type.
Anyone got any links, photos, opinions?
Thanks
Simon

Yes - Bluebird was the one I was one I was looking for, and they do front seat hammocks too.
Thanks to both of you for your replies

You could do a google search for 'Agent Fiamma' or because you live
in Manchester you could try Camperlands, Mill Lane, Northenden, Mannchester, M22 4HJ. TEL: 0161-902-3025 (Sat. 10am-4pm/closed Sundays). Or try:-
www.camperlands.co.uk
They are part of the Agent Fiamma organisation so you will get 5% discount if you show proof of club 80-90 membership. Recently I have had problems loading the individual pages from their website but they say that there is nothing wrong.
They do sell plastic steps that resemble an upturned plastic milk crate
for around £9.99 & these can be secured to the ground using tent pegs.
Metal steps (freestanding) start at around £19.99 before discount.

Perfect opportunity to convince your wife of the need for some 45mm lowering springs.

Or maybe trading in for a taller wife?

Or how about some new shoes?
Might even help for better reach at the kitchen sink

Had one of those fixed long ally steps on me old T2 twas ok for getting in but still not much help for getting out, my wife has the same problem, solved by a small collapsable plastic step from JK, I store it behind the drivers seat.
