This 12-volt motor replaces the one that came standard on your single, double, or triple electric Lippert Coach Step sliding step. It installs underneath the main unit and attaches to the gear assembly.

Today, we're going to be taking a look at the replacement motor for an electric coach step. This replaces the 12 volt motor that came standard on your single, double, or triple electric Lippert coach step or Stromberg Carlson sliding step. This unit's designed to power the gear assembly that allows the step to extend and retract. It draws power directly from the RV battery which is going to allow it to bypass the electrical system. It simply installs underneath the base of your step with three bolts. Here's the mounting location for those bolts.
Those bolts are not included. The motor in the gear box assembly can be replaced by disconnecting the two pin connector from the module to the motor and then you'll need to remove the p clamp. That's going to be holding the harness to the motor mount. You'll also need to remove the ball joint linkage from the gear and remove a self tapping screw that holds the ground wire in place. Then you'll need to remove the three bolts that hold the motor mount to the step base. I do want to mention that care should be taken not to disturb the adjustment in the length of the ball joint linkage.
Then you simply install the new motor in reverse order. Really simple process. Only takes a few minutes to do. I do need to mention that you need to know that no adjustment is required. You will notice that this is a weather proof plug. It's got the snap lock designs once it's connected, snap lock together, and then it's got the jacketing that goes over the wires.
It's going to keep those safe and protected. That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement motor for an electric coach step. Again, this replaces the 12 volt motor that came standard on your single, double or triple electric Lippert coach step or Stromberg Carlson sliding step.

This review is for the step motor only. The step motor is already starting to make a grinding noise when extending. I checked and all bolts are tight. The steps were used very little and for the cost of the replacement I expected better quality. I’m sure they will fail fairly soon.

This is a universal product for Lippert Coach electric sliding steps. So it is a general fix to all the single, double, or triple Lippert Steps. For that reason, some modification may be needed.

We have had similar reviews on this replacement motor. I have reached out to the manufacturer and as soon as they can give me more information I will contact you.

I finally did hear back from Lippert. They advised that sometimes holes do need to be drilled out to make this fit. It is the only motor from this brand of steps for this Coach.
