Today, we're gonna take a look at the replacement gear box and linkage for the Lippert components 2006 to current Kwikee electric steps. Now, this will replace the gear box and the curved A-linkage for Lippert components Kwikee electric steps, and you can tell if you have the A-linkage on your steps because there will be an A that's embossed on the linkage arm. This part here is designed to fit the 2006 to current Kwikee 22, 23, 27, 28A, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, and 40 series steps. So it does fit a wide range of the Kwikee steps. Does come with the two washers to help you install it, but that should do it for the review on the replacement gearbox and A-linkage for the Lippert components 2006 to current Kwikee electric steps.

Part won’t fit my 1999 Winnebago. E trailer does not carry anything to fit my RV. My step is a series 32 but, they’re different types of this series. They said mine is too old to carry parts for.
by: Jeff 09/13/2023
Trevor was excellent finding the part I needed (manufacturer said I needed a way to expensive upgrade) then he made sure I received the part in the right place and the right time which is not always easy when you full time RV!
Thanks Trevor!

etrailer confirmed over the phone this wa correct part I needed. Was delivered in 3 days 1 day ahead of estimated delivery. Install not complicated. Great service from etrailer staff again

The replacement part worked but it took some alterations. The person on the phone did warn us. I appreciated that she went the route of least $$$. Our back up plan was to have to order a few other newer replacements if this didn’t work. Nice of her to help with our find. Your company will be my first place in looking for future parts.

This replacement part worked so well I have forgotten about the experience. Thank you the receptionist gave us great advice and we have been trouble free.

The gearbox and motor that you advertised as compatible weren't. The bolts supplied with the motor to bolt to the gearbox were 3/16 in. while the gearbox required 10 mm bolts. I had to do some machine work on the motor to allow the 10 mm bolts to fit. After the installation, the steps worked.

Hey Chuck, can you tell me what series step you have?

Easy to order, Fast on delivery, WORKS GREAT! A+

Bought gearbox and motor together after some modification (the bolts were too narrow for gear box, had too reuse the old bolts and widen the bolt holes) the gearbox and motor work great. Much faster than old assembly and quiet.

This gearbox and motor LC379147was used to replace gearbox and motor in 2000 Damon motorhome step. that gearbox was # 151320. Just had to do minor tweaks on the step stops.
by: Jeffery09/10/2022
The gearbox threaded holes were larger then the motor drive mounting holes and needed to be drilled out.
The mounting screws were too small in the kit and had to be replaced with new larger ones. A small adjustment was needed. This might help with future orders.
by: Joseph 06/01/2023
Kinda fit had to modify some things but it works
by: Larry 10/25/2022
I will have to order the motor now. Installation instructions would have been helpful
by: Buddy09/14/2022
Your service and part was very fast, although I had to return the part because it wasn’t the right part. Your service employee William was VERY HELPFUL and hopefully we will get the parts needed to fix my problem. Can’t say enough good things about Will’s help. Thanks to the whole team.
by: Ed09/25/2022
Gear box arrived on time and in good condition. I had to pay extra for overnight shipping cause when you're on the road without stairs and big dogs it's not fun. Still cheaper than having someone come out and look at it. Working well and nice and quiet again.
by: David 07/19/2022
This was the exact part I needed to repair my steps on my RV. The parts went on with no hitch. From buying to delivery was a quality experience.
by: Tom04/22/2022
It is working fine
The only issue was the gear of the motor fell loose in the box because the tape broke during transportation
Will definitely order any parts I may need in the future from you thank you
by: Pete03/27/2020
This is the exact replacement for my Itasca Nation 24J step. The old unit failed at the attachment to the step not in the gears so it was a very easy replacement! Remove the old unit, switch out the motor from the old unit to the new unit (might buy a spare motor for future step issues), lined up the swing arm, put the pin in and my step is now fixed. I would say a few directions in the box would be helpful but I'm the kind who takes a picture before removing the part so I can be sure I'm putting it back in correctly. One suggestion to installers, don't tighten the four nuts until everything is linked up and make the motor move into the extended position to link everything up at first. Take your time this is a very simple repair, well worth the time in the driveway instead of taking to an RV repair location.

Perfect! No problems after a year! Great replacement part.

- Replacement Gear Box for Kwikee 32 Series Electric Step AssemblyI spoke with my contact at Lippert regarding your Kwikee Step 32 Series Assembly. She said that as long as the steps were put on your camper after 2006, the Replacement Gear Box and Linkage # LC379160 that you referenced is indeed the correct replacement. She said based on the motor number you provided it is most likely a post-2006 unit, but you will still want to verify this. If you happen to have an older model then the entire step assembly will need to be replaced as replacement parts...

view full answer... - Solution for Kwikee Series 32 Step that Won't Retract and ExtendNormally if the Kwikee steps are having a hard time fully extending or retracting and there's a jerking motion at the same time that would indicate that there's a gear, gear box or linkage problem. Dry grease would not typically cause this problem but that doesn't mean it's not related in someway. Based on you having the Kwikee 32 Series the gear box is most likely the issue and you'd want the part # LC379160 to replace it.

- Gearbox Recommendation for Kwikee Step on 2006 Winnebago ViewYou are correct and the linkage does need to be replaced. For that you would want the part # LC379160 which matches what you have. My contact at Lippert technical confirmed that two washers, not four, are supplied with the Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with A, part # LC379160. Typically only two of the four mounting holes for this part will require the shim washers. The shims will go between the gear box and the step. You'll see them as you take off the old gear box.

view full answer... - How To Find Correct Replacement Gear Box for Kwikee Electric StepsI do have an option for you but I don't have any reference to that part number and neither does Kwikee, are you sure this is correct? If so then you can find the correct gear box using the series model of the step such as Series 32 which is printed on a label under the step. The Replacement Gear Box and A Linkage for Kwikee Electric RV Steps part # LC379160 for example is the correct replacement gear box for Series 32 Steps which are most common.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Kwikee Series 32 RV Steps that Blow FuseSounds like the Series 32 Kwikee step gear box is damaged and in need of replacing if the motor blows fuses when connected to it. What it sounds like is the motor is trying to work to hard to move the gear box which is why it blows the fuse. For a replacement you'd want the part # LC379160.
view full answer... - What Are The Additional 2 Washers That Come With The Kwikee Gear Box Used For?The 1/4" flat washers that come with the Replacement Gear Box and A Linkage # LC379160 are used to shim the permanent magnet motor assembly away from the step top so the motor assembly will sit level. This is not needed on all steps and may be used on a different side based on the exact series, model and year your steps were made. I hate to say that there is not one side or series of steps that they must be used on typically.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Motor Running and Steps Falling Down on 2013 BounderBased on what you have described it sounds like you need to replace the gear box. I recommend opening up the gear box to see if the teeth are broken or stripped just to be sure. In order to find which gear box is correct you will need to look at your steps and find out which steps you specifically have. There should at least be a serial number on the steps to help you identify them and probably a part number on the gear box. From there, you can choose the correct part. For example, the...
