I bought LEDIN Receiver-Mounted Rear Step as part of my camper van equipment.

Rear Access Within the Vehicle-Equipment Plan
I worked underneath the passenger-seat area on the heater intake, exhaust and fuel-system mounts.
The black underbody coating recorded in my notes was Fluid Film Black.
I recorded how cramped and tiring the working position became while reaching the mounting points.

My Takeaway for the Build
Working around and beneath the van made access a recurring part of the project. For this LEDIN purchase, the defining feature is the receiver-mounted platform behind the vehicle. KUAFU uses a bracketed vehicle mounting arrangement, while Bully adds a wired brake light to the receiver-step format; those are different installation layouts.

Mount
2-inch receiver insert
The LEDIN step inserts into a two-inch hitch receiver and puts its platform behind the vehicle. Receiver fit, platform position and access to the rear doors are different layout considerations. For a van, compare the complete step position with the bumper and door movement, retaining access to the receiver connection rather than judging fit from platform width alone.
Compare the inserted position, platform clearance and rear-door movement with the actual vehicle arrangement.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The KUAFU rear step uses vehicle-specific mounting rather than occupying the receiver. The Bully CR-600L keeps the receiver-mounted format and adds an LED brake light.
This rear step provides a treaded foothold at the back of its listed Transit application. Its bracketed mounting arrangement attaches the step to the vehicle.
This step fits a two-inch hitch receiver and provides a platform behind the vehicle. An integrated LED brake light adds a wired lighting function to the step.
