G'day All,
I've done the search thru the forum and found nothing about this topic. What I'm looking for is a Plastic step that I and SWMBO can use to get in and out of our caravan. Now I hear you all saying that this post is unnecessary as you can get them anywhere. Well the one where looking for was either advertised in a magazine or we saw it at the NSW caravan show, but we can't remember. Just another senior moment. What we are after is a step that during the day absorbs the suns heat and at night it glows. We have searched thru all our magazines and still cant find it.
Can anyone out there help us out.

Peter and Dawn

A solar powered step !!! I gotta have one !!!!
Sounds good, but a glow in the dark step is a good idea, but were you really dreaming ??

Sorry, not trying to offend you, but have never heard of such a device, but if there was one, you would want to pull it in of a night so no one pinched it !!!!

Well Gronk thanks for the reply but there is such a step and we have 2 dogs that will sit guard over it if and when I find it.

when we go off road at night and bush camp we use those solar garden lights, they stay on the a frame during the day while travelling and recharge. one goes under the step and glows up through so you can see where the step is at night.

Thanks Kiwi Kia for your glowing response. If you read this forum you will notice that our question has been answered. You have learnt of another glowing item haven't you?
Thanks again,
Peter and Dawn.

Hi Peter, And looking at the link it is very impressive. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

The glowing golf balls were featured on Discovery channel the other night at Coober Pedy, much cooler playing in the evening but a bit hard to spot ordinary balls in the twilight.

I think this is what you are after,
Suntech in Melbourne sell them along with Solar panels.

I am a reseller for them and used to sell their products online, but I am sure you can order one yourself.

cheers

Many Thanks Pomgonewalkabout we knew that we had seen the product and were adamant about posting it in this forum as we thought the suggestion would be ridiculed. Although our faith has been restored with your reply and assured us that the product does exist.
Thanks again,
Peter and Dawn.
