I have to carry steps around. I can only get them diagonally in my Octavia. Pictures I've seen of the Tuscon boot suggest its wider in parts. Specifically behind the rear seats. Anyone got a set of three step folding ladders? This sort of thing https://www.ladderstore.com/atlas-platf ... r-3-tread Mine are 115cms when closed but I think you can only get them around 120 to 130 closed size now (and I need a new pair). What's the width of the boot across the wheel arch. I'd place them up against the seats and hold them with bungees using the tie downs on the seats. If that makes sence!

I have a similar set of steps that measure 1170 mm when closed. They will fit in the boot crossways - I just tried it :D
The other option you have is to fold down the centre section of the rear seat squabs if 3 seats aren't occupied

Can I ask where in the boot they fit. Right up against the back seats or near the tailgate?

I can place mine across the boot right by the tailgate where its at its widest. But that gets in the way for getting other stuff in and out when you don't need the steps. I'd like to store them right up against the back seats if poss.

I had mine just behind the back seats. You might have to have one end raised a little where the wheelarches intrude.
I can take a pic if you need it.

That's exactly what I imagined, many thanks. No need for a picture just yet, I'll be imposing more before long! :D
