Randy: Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look over replacement part for Kwikee Steps. Now this gear box, door switch, and the entire kit has been designed to replace the old gear box in the 25 series steps. Generally those are gonna be made before 2006. Just to give you a heads up, it's gonna be a complete replacement for the gear box and the switch. Basically there's nothing worse than when you get out to a campsite, you open your door on your RV, and your steps won't come down.
Generally what's gonna occur is where on the gears here. Or on the gear off of the backside of the motor you'll here a lot of clicking. Click, click, click as that step tries to retract or as it tries to come out.Now we go through this quite a bit with different manufacturers at different steps. It is wear over time. Now something I like about this kit is that they're gonna have everything that we need.
So we've got our mounting bracket. That's gonna be new. We've got our new gear plate, new gear on our motor, brand new motor. Also gonna have a new door switch and the mounting plate for that door switch, which will also connect to our bracket here. Essentially, this is gonna eliminate any of the old components in the system.
Just like when I change brake assemblies, I can change just the brake shoes. I can change just the brake springs, but if I'm already gonna be in there I like to change everything. A lot of times that can be more cost effective than replacing them piece by piece as you go.Also we're gonna have new hardware to get it attached. We're gonna have new plugs. That's something I really like because a lot of times moisture can get in here, especially if we don't use dielectric grease which is available on our website.
It can get into our connections and it can cause corrosion. Corrosion doesn't give us a good electrical connection, then we get a failure there and we're under there trying to diagnose it. So we can completely replace with completely new components every one of plugs that's in that system. So overall, it's just gonna make life a lot easier. You're not gonna have to worry about it. Is it gonna work Is it not gonna work I mean you can get into an RV without the steps if it's a single or a double, but if you get up to the triple step that's a pretty tall step to get up and in.So it's important that this is working just so you have a better camping experience or better tailgating experience, whatever you're gonna be getting into. We're gonna quickly go over some of the dimensions here for you, just so you have an idea. So I'm gonna go on the entire plate here. I have to flip it around this way. So it's gonna be right at 11 and 7/8ths. As far as the total length, that's gonna be closer to seven and 7/8ths, eight inches. See we've got our two attachment points here and we've got two attachment points here. Those are gonna be split on, call it on center. About 10 and 3/4, 10 and 5/8ths there side to side. These are just gonna help you just to verify, just to double check yes in fact this is gonna fit my rig.See we've got our attachment stud that sticks up here. It's gonna be our switch here. Total length on it, it's about six and 7/8ths and an inch. Be about two inch centers on those attachment points. Then on our longer attachment points that's right at six, maybe six and an eighth. This is also gonna be the attachment for our door switch here to get it attached to this as well. You can see it's a pretty straightforward system. It's just gonna be plug and play. There's no cutting. There's no splicing of the wiring that you already have. Again, good idea to use some dielectric grease in the kit. You do have the integrated motor gear box and linkage all right here.So instead of those components being individual, they call it an IMGL basically. So it's all integrated into one kit. It has the 95 tank control unit and the door switch. So overall, this is gonna be an excellent way to get those steps working again, make it easier to get in and out of the campers. You're not struggling or having to lift somebody up and in. You just have a good experience with it that way and that's gonna complete our look at the Kwikee Series 25 Step Replacement Gear Box and Motor.

Replaces the motor and table for your Kwikee powered RV entry steps. Motor provides power to control unit to extend and retract the steps. Gear rotates to push steps out and pull them back in. Weatherproof wiring and steel mounting table.I was very happy that this upgrade kit was available. My step is too new to need the upgrade as it was built in 2006 but the large gear had bad teeth on it and replacement part is not available. I used this kit for the gear and it worked perfect! Now I have an extra controller. Contrary to the manufacturers description, there is no door switch in the kit. The short wires in the kit go to the motor. 641046
etrailer.com, I can't say enough good things about this company, or the product. Not only did they offer a fairly sizeable discount on this part, they actually helped me verify it was the part I needed. They called me back in a very short time with the information to my questions asked. Then they sent tracking information, the part arrived early. it bolted up and functioned perfect. I was also informed if it didn't work, I could return it. And they explained the return policy in simple, complete, instructions. In this era of impersonal ordering on the internet, there was actually personal service from etrailer.com. Thank you. 431128
My order arrived really fast - 3 days after placing the order. The parts fit perfectly. All I had to do was remove the old unit, disconnect the wires. and reverse the procedure to install the new one. Took me 30 minutes. My old unit had striped the gears. The new step mechanism included the controller, hardware and instructions . After doing the installation I did some test runs with the steps. That's where I think I figured out why the old one failed. I think the old controller wasn't turning off the power quick enough when the steps got to the end of their run; this caused too much stress on the gears. The best part of my order was etrailer.com had a great price. Pictures are of the old step motor assembly and the stripped gears. Thanks etrailer.com 484850
The Kwikee step replacement Kit for 25 Series IMGL/9510, Control - LC379804 fit my 2012 Winnebago Vista 35F step perfectly. I extended the stairs and then It was easy and quick to install, just remove the connecting rod and four bolts. I had now need for the control electronics, but buying this combination saved me about $180 over the cost of buying just the main plate with motor and mounting parts! 633891
Great service and good prices. This is the second time i have ordered from etrailer and once again I had a wonderful experience. I received my order faster than anticipated and got just what i ordered. I also saved over 200 dollars compared from what it was going to cost me from a dealer. 724993
Web site was easy to navigate and order. The part came as promised. I installed it with out and issues. The problem was ware on the gear on the motor and the teeth of the matching wheel. Is it possible to bye a gear that goes on the motor? It would be good to carry it when the steps stop working next time. Thank you 707932
Victoria B - 10/08/2019My original 25 Series step, approximately 3 years old, started making a loud noise and was not retracting or extending all the way without help. My order arrived today and i installed the new Kwikee 25 Series step and control unit. It was simple to follow the provided instructions and now works as good as new. 705691
I'm happy with my service from etrailer.com, at least someone in the industry knows what's happening!! My experience with Lippert Ind. Is just that, an "experience" !! They gave me bogus info for a replacement part, totally wrong part number. As a happy customer of etrailer.com O will spread the good word and will definitely be back. Thank you for the excellent service. 691631
The part turned up exactly on time, which was great as there was a limited time window for delivery at the campground we were staying at. Part was exactly as described and has been fitted and works well. Full fitting instructions were included. 662820
This is the second time I’ve used ETrailer very satisfied with there help and availability of product. 490528
This item arrived on time and installed quick and easy. I't too bad that you can't order just the parts you need (gears in my case) it could have been a lot cheaper. I did have some issues with my payment, their system would not let me complete my transaction using a Canadian credit card (Canadian billing address) and shipping it to Hemet California (US shipping address) I had to us a PayPal account to complete the order. 472569
