Specs:
Kwikee electric RV entry steps provide an effortless, convenient way to enter and exit your RV. The steps are wired to your RV's door and feature an automatic extension, unfolding when the door opens and retracting when it closes. This differentiates the steps from the alternate manual pull-out steps.
The updated Kwikee steps manufactured since 1999 require the integrated motor, gearbox, and linkage (IMGL) setup to power the steps. The motor provides the power, the gearbox turns the linkage arm, and the linkage pushes the steps out and pulls them back in when rotated by the gearbox.
As the motor provides power to the control unit and linkage arm, the control unit that is wired to your RV power senses when the RV door opens and closes, and extends and retracts the steps in tandem. When you activate the rocker switch from the switch kit, the control unit will override the automatic retraction when the door closes. This will lock the steps in the extended position.
The switch kit consists of three pieces. The two magnetic sensor tabs mount in the doorframe and on the door. When the third piece, the rocker switch, is activated, and the two door pieces come in contact with each other, the steps will not automatically retract when the door is closed. This allows you to keep your steps extended when parked at the campsite.
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.
A built-in safety light is located underneath the mounting bracket for low-light conditions. The amber light automatically illuminates the steps when they extend. It will not illuminate, however, if you have the automatic extension turned off, which cuts power to the steps.
For added safety, the steps have a non-skid, textured coating. This textured surface provides traction and ensures that you have secure footing even when the steps are wet.
Installing the steps on your RV is simple. Pre-drilled holes in the step's mounting plate match up to holes in your RV's frame for an easy, bolt-on installation. You will need (4) 3/8" x 1" carriage bolts and 4 flange nuts, available in Lippert's mounting hardware kit (LC118155-72 - sold separately) to bolt the steps into place. Use 2 carriage bolts and 2 locknuts on each side to attach the mounting brackets to your RV's frame. If additional brackets are needed to mount the steps to the RV frame, and none are already installed, outriggers (LC301704 - sold separately) may be needed for installation depending on the model of your original stairs.

Excellent timely service. Thank you 802466
I 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. 795191
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 789749
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. 661367

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. 715721
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. 523950

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. 786463

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, 457989
