Electric step assembly includes everything you need to automatically open and close the step with your RV door. Motor and control unit extend and retract step. Switch kit overrides step retraction. Amber light illuminates when step extends.

Note: This step assembly includes everything you need to install and use the steps on your RV.
The included 4-way plug fits into the existing wiring harness on your RV. Most vehicles should having this wiring already set up. In the event that your RV is missing the wiring, a 4-way pigtail is included to help you hardwire the unit to your RV.
The Kwikee steps include several safety features in an effort to prevent injury to you or your passengers and damage to the RV steps. If an obstruction is detected while extending, the steps will halt and retract back into the stowed position. The steps will also retract when you turn on the vehicles ignition, even if the automatic retraction override has been activated, in case you forget to stow them before driving away.
Will Kwikee Electric Steps Work for You?
Electric steps are typically installed on RVs and some travel trailers. The electric steps from Kwikee install and fold up underneath the camper for simple storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Kwikee electric steps attach to the underside of the camper chassis, directly beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available underneath your camper that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and depth. You will need a mounting space that is at least 25-1/2" wide and 11-5/8" deep.
If it turns out you have more or less space beneath your doorway, there are other step assemblies available with bracket sizes ranging from 24-3/4" wide to 37-1/4" wide. A full list of the available steps is below.
Outriggers - metal brackets that act as an extension (LC301704 - sold separately) - may be needed for installation depending on the model of your original stairs. These provide extra length if the old steps are longer or wider than the new.
Once you know where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, that spot will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To decide on how many steps you'll need, measure from the mounting point to the ground. This is called the entry height. The entry height should roughly match the height of the steps when they're fully extended, plus 6" to 8" to account for the drop from the bottom step to the ground. This measurement will also tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays mounting bracket widths in the first column and entry height measurements in the second column. The third column shows the corresponding part numbers. Use the mounting bracket width and entry height measurements you took to determine which part number will fit your RV. Choose the bracket size that is closest to your measurements without going over.

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.
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.
Works perfect. Easy to install anywhere on the road. Quiet smooth operation. Well worth the price.
It fit and it worked
Fast delivery and a great fit. thank you
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
Only needed the frame, not available se parately
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.
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.
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.
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.
Was the perfect replacement for my Customers bent and inoperative Steps. Shipping was great and faster than expected.
The step was easy to install and I am very happy with it.
Great product and support.
Product arrived on time and packaging in excellent condition. Installed easily however there’s no instructions, especially for the door switch.
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.
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.
Good company and good customer service.
Fast shipping and good product.
Easy and simple replacement.
It’s like we have a new motor home. Sturdy and great functionality.
After a year it severely rusted and I had to repaint it
Amazing product

Hey Greg, I am so sorry to hear that. I did take a quick look at the instructions. I think you'll find page 12 and Figure 4 super helpful. It's got a labeled diagram of where everything goes and from there you can see the function of the wires, too. I'll send you a quick email!
