I frequently found myself needing to stand at the rear of the van and work on the bed or rummage around under the mattress. Since it's a long way up there without a good place to stand, I decided to get a bumper step (aka 'bump step'). Research led me to this item, which installed easily, and seems sturdy. I also installed an anti-rattle locking pin from Curt (silver pin in these photos).
