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 11-3/8" 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.

Electric step assembly includes everything you need to automatically open and close the steps with your RV door. Motor and control unit extend and retract steps. Switch kit overrides step retraction. Amber light illuminates when steps extend.> The Kwikee Electric Steps arrived in excellent condition Via UPS. The internal packing was minimal > so it must have been a smooth ride as the box showed no signs of damage. > The weight of the step assembly makes the job look to be more intimidating than it really is. > Start by removing all power from the affected circuits, after extending the steps fully. Disconnect all wires via the connectors as well as the green ground wire that fastens to the chassis. > Extending the steps allows easy access to the four 9/16 in nuts/bolts that secure the base plate to the > RV structure. I supported the weight of the assembly with a common brick at the center of the middle step > as the extended steps began to droop as the bolts released tension on the mounting plate. > The outer step will touch ground first as things begin to droop and the remainder of the weight will be supported > by the brick. No drama but be careful if things look less than stable. > > Now this next part requires checking what the Vehicle Up fitters did when mounting the original step assembly. > In my case, Fleetwood modified the mounting hole arrangement. Standard configuration mounting holes are 22 inches > by 8 inches. Fleetwood left the outer mounting holes as stated but assumed a somewhat random spacing of 9 1/4 inches in > the other dimension, thus requiring that a slot be fabricated. Air powered jigsaw and a Dremel Tool made short work > of this. Warning here is to be certain of the mounting centers before starting the second half of the job. > > This next part was almost pleasant. I used a hydraulic floor jack with a buffer section of wood to prevent scratches > Balance the step assembly and buffer on the jack as you roll the jack under the RV. Center the approach by eye > and marvel at the four bolts peaking through the mounting holes. Raise the jack and position the bolts as you go. > Finger tighten the nut/washer at each hole finger tight. Release the jack and let the steps hang loosely. Reconnect > the wiring checking that the loose hanging wires will clear all moving parts of the mechanism and extend the steps > under power. You can now proceed to tighten all the fasteners in sequence to gradually raise the steps to the final > position. > > This job was a replacement/repair and was a true Plug n Play operation. It all worked as expected, first time. Nice!
Thanks for getting the steps here on time, there installed and we leave in two more days for a five week trip. They fit right in place of the broken set. The box they were shipped in was tore apart when they arrived, but everything was still OK. thanks again
The steps were easy to install with all the original mounting points lining up perfectly. I unplugged the wiring from the old steps, removed the bolts and was ready to begin installing the new steps. With the aid of a jack, the new steps were lifted into place and the mounting bolts installed. Then I plugged in the wiring and the new steps worked perfectly. After a year of use, they are still working great.
replacement step,removed and installed new step in about 2 hours works GREAT!!!
Steps arrived on our door step in badly beat up cardboard box. Minimum damage to actual step unit. A few scratches, but tollerable. Challenge was to remove the old unit. Lots of "liquid wrench" needed on the four nuts holding the old unit in place. Needed strong assistant to manage the floor jack while positioning the new unit into place. Twenty-something sons are good for something after all :) Definitely watch the videos on etrailer.com for tips on how to remove / install the unit. Took 2 days of repeated administration of liquid wrench to be able to break the nuts free and uninstall the old steps. Be patient, you don't want to strip the nuts or you will never get the old steps off. In my case (2005 Winnebago Adventurer) I did not need to install the new magnetic switch set, the existing system worked just fine. Connected the 4 wire connector and everything worked fine. Exception is that the steps "on and off" switch is now reversed... I can live with that. I will relabel the toggle switch. In my case the repair shop I usually use wanted $1600 just to Mickey Mouse a replacement motor into the original unit. With etrailer.com I spent $900 and about 4 hours of manual labor for a brand new step unit. I would highly recommend this unit.
Loved the kwikee steps that I ordered and received from etrailer that were an exact match to my damaged ones thanks to my customer service representative Tammy she went above and beyond to make sure everything including shipping info and delivery date Was taken care of
Product delivered as scheduled. Package was beat up pretty well, but the steps appear to be unharmed. The steps are a replacement for the existing steps that were damaged.
Joseph M - 01/04/2019I am pleased with the steps. They seemed to be light. I reinforces the floor and wall of my Rockwood RV. It helped. I use a support under the bottom step and is more stable.

Review from a similar Kwikee 25 Series in RV and Camper Steps
Whilst I cannot fault etrailer, their service and delivery of product is quite good. There were some issues with this product I ordered from them. First off it came without critical parts, the linkage between the motor gears and the step, making it useless out of the box. Secondly, it was supposed to be a clean swap between the old 2 step that I removed... but turns out it was NOT the same bolt pattern. I had to WELD additional metal plates to the new step, drill the holes for the appropriate bolt pattern and only then, was I able to affix the 3 step model to my RV. In addition, after much consulting with the manufacturer of the step, it turned out that the motor had been wired incorrectly and I had to switch the polarity of the motor for the steps to function properly with the door and the switch that allows the steps to STAY down whilst camping and still be able to open and close the door. Let's just say... it was extremely problematic getting this product installed and made to function properly.
Review from a similar Kwikee 25 Series in RV and Camper Steps
I purchased a RV electric extending set of steps (3), and I am very satisfied with the quality and price of the product, price (best on web!), customers service, and the free fast 3 day shipping across the US. The box it ships with was pretty much unable to handle the weight and six but since the step assembly is 87 pounds and all steel, it was not an issue. Thanks etrailer.com.
Review from a similar Kwikee 25 Series in RV and Camper Steps
I ordered these 3 steps without the motor to replace steps I trashed while backing up. The previous steps were almost new when I trashed them, so I decided to try to just replace the steps and move the electronics & motor to the replacement steps. The ones I bought from etrailer were listed as "used" due to scratches & scuffs, making them about $140 less than the new ones. When I received (in about 3 days) them they looked new with a few chips out of the paint. I moved the electrical stuff over and positioned them under the coach. They are really too heavy to install without a lift or extra person, but I was able to get them aligned and a nut started ... so they were on the only remaining issue was the bolt that actuates the steps needed to be inserted. This requires one to use the door to auto retract the steps (a little) to be able to insert the bolt. I was able to close the door while under the coach allowing the mechanism to come in far enough to get the bolt in and unplugged the steps to stop them from going back out. The steps look and operate as NEW!!! The etrailer staff are very professional and helpful and quick to follow up if needed. Top notch service and excellent discounted product. Thanks,

Great discount due to barely visible scratches and dents. Installed and operates perfectly. Received promptly
Review from a similar Kwikee 25 Series in RV and Camper Steps
The 22 x 8 bolt pattern was not exact. I spent 3 hours yesterday and couldn't get it. I will try again today and if I still can't get it, I will have to return.
