The Kwikee 38 Series electric step extends and retracts with a 12V motor that works through the included switch kit. You can operate it manually from inside, giving you dependable control every time you enter or exit. The motor and gearbox move smoothly and quietly, staying consistent even after long-term use.
This single 24" wide step is built from sturdy, powder-coated steel with solid drive rods, stainless steel bushings, and air-pressed rivets at all pivot points. The setup supports up to 300 lbs and resists flexing, bending, and weather exposure, so it holds up to frequent entry and exit without losing strength or stability.
The step surface features a non-slip tread with bright reflective strips that help you see where to step in low light. An amber incandescent light further illuminates the tread at night, making it easier and safer to find your footing.
If the step encounters an obstacle while extending, it automatically retracts to prevent damage or injury. This built-in safety function keeps the step and surrounding area protected, which is especially helpful when parked in tight spots.
With an overall width of 25-1/2", a 23-3/4" mounting plate, and a 4-5/8" drop/rise, this step offers solid ground clearance and a natural climb. It folds to a 5-5/8" height for travel and extends to 6-1/8" when in use, giving you the right balance between low ground height and compact storage.

Speaker 1: Today you're going to be taking a look at the lifter components quickie 36 series single electric step. Stepping up into your RV can be a bit of a challenge. Especially if the steps aren't working. That's where our replacement steps are going to come into play. With our step installed, when we open the door it's going to automatically come out allowing us to step in easier getting in our RV but at the same time when we close the door, they're going to automatically retract making sure they're not going to catch on anything when we're driving down the road.Now from the top where it's mounted behind this panel, our step is going to drop down a total of five inches. In our application and the step we're using is going to be 24 inches wide by 10 and three quarter inches deep.
There is another step that is available that's going to be 30 inches. To see our website for your specific application and it's going to be made of a nice solid steel construction and have a nice black powdered finish for long lasting durability.The hidden amber light underneath our step is going to make it a lot easier for us to find that step in low light situations and have confidence when we're getting in or out of our RV. The included motor on our step is going to have a solid steel drive rod as well as stainless steel bushes for extended life of the motor. Our steps come with a door switch allowing it to know when to open up and when to close.Now our step is also going to come with a rocker switch in case you choose to manually turn it on and off and not use that door switch. Now that we've seen our steps and gone over some of the features, we do realize that every RV is going to be slightly different but we'll go ahead and give you a brief overview of how to get them in place.To begin our installation, you're going to need to remove your steps and disconnect al the electrical components that are on the steps themselves.
So I got our new step here and we're going to have our pigtail that we're going to wire into our motor home. Then the pigtail is coming off the step as well as the ground wire.So to get our step extended to make it a little easier to work with, I'm going to go ahead and plug in our pigtail and then I have a jump box here which is going to provide my power and grout. So I'm going to take the green wire with the ring terminal on it. I'm going to hook it to ground. I'm going to take my red wire, hook it to power, and then now we're going to take our jump box and turn it on and that should extend the step out.
We've made it a little bit easier to get access to our mounting holes.It's a good idea to have something underneath the step to support it. I'm using a floor jack to help me get the new step in place. It takes a little bit of patience to get everything lined up because it is rather hard to see but once we get the holes lined up, we can put our hardware in hand tight so that step will support itself and we can come back and tighten it all down.Typically you're going to have four bolts, one on each corner holding your step in place. There may be more but you just want to make sure that you replace them all and get them all nice and tight. Now these are the wires that we cut and as you can see they have some inaudible 00:03:15 connectors on them.
That's because it was hardwired into the motor. Now we're going to use the other end of the pigtail and then just connect our wires here so we can have a quick disconnect and if any issues arise we can disconnect it. It would be a little bit easier rather than cutting and splicing every time.So we'll go ahead and cut back these butt connectors and strip the wires and start attaching everything color for color. We're going to take a heat shrink butt connector and now these don't come with our kit but if you need some you can pick some up on our website. Then we can take the other end of our pigtail and we'll find the brown wire. It's already prestrippe.d So we can just put it into the other end of our butt connector and crimp it in place. Now we're going to do that for each one of our wires and we're going to connect them color for color. You should have a white, a yellow, and a red left on the motor home end as well as the pigtail end.We'll be using a heat gun to shrink down the connectors. I just want to mention if you are using an open flame you want to be extra careful not to burn the wires or the connectors themselves. Now this is where our ground from our previous step was installed. I'm going to go ahead and remove that bolt, take our new ground wire, slide the bolt and washer around it, and line up the hole and reinstall that bolt. With the jack out of the way, we can go ahead and shut our door. We can go ahead and go back underneath and start cleaning up all those wires.That'll finish up your look of the lifter components quickie 36 series single electric step.
Ratings & Reviews
Great product and support.
Amazing product
The step was easy to install and I am very happy with it.
After a year it severely rusted and I had to repaint it
Product arrived on time and packaging in excellent condition. Installed easily however there’s no instructions, especially for the door switch.
It’s like we have a new motor home. Sturdy and great functionality.
Easy and simple replacement.
Only needed the frame, not available se parately
Fast shipping and good product.
Fast delivery and a great fit. thank you
Good company and good customer service.
All of the pieces did not come in the initial box but once I called you and then received all of the remaining pieces, it was easy to install. Great customer service. Thank you.
Step went on very easy... works fantastic. Box was a little beat up so we have a few scratches on the step but overall happy with product.
Replaced aging step that was getting stuck and struggling even after clean and lube. This assembly did the job, though the bolt holes did not line up all that well with the prior model so had to get a little creative. Not bad enough to knock a star though. Solid and does what I need it to.
Was the perfect replacement for my Customers bent and inoperative Steps. Shipping was great and faster than expected.
called customer service to see what wires worked in and out functions fosters and they couldn't figure it out. kinda frustrating when trying to mount to vehicle and couldn't get it to work both directions. called several times and differe t answer everytime
I cant thank you enough for your help in getting me a replacement step for my 25 year old motorhome. It was easy to install and all wiring matched my old wire harness and it bolted right up and works great. Thank You again.
I know in past reviews people have said written installation instructions would be greatly appreciated especially for rv owners looking to replace or install new on their rvs. I installed the step and am happy with the install. It seems to be performing as expected. Please consider putting written installation with the steps.
Here are my points:
1. Information on the right fit before I placed the order was accurate and
appreciated.
2. The steps arrived very quickly.
3. The steps had some nicks in the finish that were not from shipping. I'll
touch them up rather than send the steps back.
4. There were no instructions included from the company in the box. I went
online to get them
5. The additional mounting kit hardware wasn't required as your information
stated. The mounting bolts were welded in place by the coach manufacturer. I
didn't learn this until I removed the old steps.
The steps are installed and working, but the action is not as smooth as I
had hoped. There's no reason to believe that there is an issue - they will
likely smooth out after I use them for a season.
Works perfect. Easy to install anywhere on the road. Quiet smooth operation. Well worth the price.
They were very helpful telling me what I needed for the motorhome and a product was very good. I would recommend y’all to anyone.
Excellent product. I replaced the entire original assembly in my 2004 Monaco Signature. Bolted right up and electrical was plug and play except for the micro-switch that operates the dash "step extended" warning light.
My electrical diagram that I received when I bought the coach provided the details that enabled me to understand and purchase the correct switch from etrailer. Replacement Magnetic Door Sensor for Kwikee Electric RV Steps - Rectangle - White
Part Number: LC374198. It is actually a micro-switch that mounts directly onto the step motor and wires separately into the coach wiring. I just mounted it on the same step motor location as the original OEM steps I removed.
It fit and it worked
We ordered a new retractable step for our motor home. My husband followed the instructions and installed it with no problems. It has been a year and it continues to work well.
