You ever catch yourself wanting to step down before checking if the step is there?
Not really. Probably one reason is that I'm likely to exit the driver's door when first arriving somewhere, rather than the "main" entrance. It's a little more obvious the step isn't there when stepping up than when stepping down.
What I have done a few times is drive off without retracting the step, despite there being an idiot light that Coachmen added on the dash. Luckily that hasn't resulted in any mischief as yet. In my defense I will point out that the idiot light is poorly placed in that the crossbar of the steering wheel very effectively blocks it from view most of the time. (That light setup consists of a reed switch and magnet strategically attached to the step mechanism wired to the indicator light, which I believe is on a chassis run circuit so it only illuminates when the engine is on. It ought not be hard to add a warning beeper, which maybe I should do at some point.)
