Replaces the electric steps, motor, and switch kit for your Kwikee 32 series RV steps. Motor extends and retracts the steps when it receives the signal from the switch kit. Wiring pigtail hardwires to your RV's power.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This step assembly includes the steps, motor, and switch kit only. The steps will operate manually through the switch kit.
If you want the complete step assembly that allows the steps to automatically extend and retract with the RV door, you will need a control unit. The switch kit included with this assembly will still work, but if you want to be able to override the automatic retraction, so the steps stay out whether the door is open or closed, you will need a different switch kit. The complete assembly with steps, motor, control unit, and switch kit is available under part number LC372261.
The included 4-way plug fits into the existing wiring harness on your RV. Most vehicles should have 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.

Replaces the electric steps, motor, and switch kit for your Kwikee 32 series RV steps. Motor extends and retracts the steps when it receives the signal from the switch kit. Wiring pigtail hardwires to your RV's power.Excellent prices and service. Samantha was very helpful. The steps I ordered went on easily, great quality and eat installation.
Instructions were confusing and did not give simple details for installation of wiring. We had to run new wires and skip the ones that were original to our RV but once we figured out the switch, it was straightforward. The unit is very heavy so needed 2 guys to install it.
GOOD 1. It was an exact replacement for the step assembly that it was replacing. This means to install Bolted the new assembly in using the same mounting as the original. Just 4 5/16 bolts. BAD 1. It was my misunderstanding, but the light and direction control required to make the step go in and out was not part of what I purchased. I needed to take this part off the old assembly and bolt and wire it to the new step. FORTUNATELY, the problem with my step assembly was the motor and not the controller unit. 2. The box delivered was heavy. The unit weight ripped open the shipping container in transit. 3. The material recommended to lubricate the step assembly was not included. I was told that eTrailer does not sell it. 4. The manual provided has no information about how to install the unit mechanically. There is no way to open the stair assembly. The mounting bolts are very difficult to reach with the stairs retracted.
Arrived as scheduled, easy to install. Just had to swap the controller from old stairs to new stairs. All the mounting holes were the same as original.
Perfect fit, motor is so quiet. Had to use my old control module and light (FYI) . I was worried the metal would not be a thick enough gauge. I was happy to see it was heavier gauge than my original Kwickee 326000. The local dealer wanted about $300. More than etailer.com,
Exact replacement for what I had , all holes matched , no problems with anything .
Was completely satisfied with the product and delivery time!
Works great.
Just what I needed. Great price. Fast and free delivery
Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
The motorized steps were a perfect fit in my 1997 motor home. Wiring had been torn up on the old steps making it difficult to figure out the right connections to attach. The etrailer associates were very helpful in getting the right person to help me figure out what the previous owner had done to the wiring. I have recommended etrailer to other people because of the quality of the product and excellent help they were during the installation of the steps.

My steps started to work intermittently and they were rusty. So I Bought the 32 series steps for a replacement on my 1999' Winnebago Vectra Grand Tour. Bolted right up,plugged in the wire harness,and the steps started working perfectly! (Even with the old magnetic door switch!). I also added a large mud flap to keep road grime off the steps! Highly recommend etrailer. Very good price and "FAST" shipping too!
Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
Yes I received my new steps today they look great. The tracking info was great, the prompt shipping, the day I order it was shipped the same day. I love that kind of service. SINGLE STEP CONVERSION TO A DOUBLE STEP 1999 ULTIMATE FREEDOM 40' MOTOR HOME ( WINNEBAGO) My coach had the single step 28 series, I order the 32 series two step. My coach always seamed like it needed another step. Very difficult when the airbags are in the normal or driving mode for my wife to get in and out of the coach. So I ordered the double step and I installed it today. The 28 series as a 22 inch by 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern the 32 series as a 22 inch by 8 inch bolt pattern. In which I knew when I order it. But when it got here the 32 series as bolt pattern for both 8 inch and 6 1/2 so I installed it set back about 2 inches to far back. So I drilled a 8 inch bolt pattern on my coach (very simply modification). After the slight modification to my coach it was a perfect fit. The bottom step is 8 inches off the ground, when the bags are fully deflated the bottom step is clearing the ground by about 1 inch. The single step 80 percent of the time was always to high. So I carried a portable step made for RV's. I will very seldom have to use it now. On the rare occasion if the step hits the ground on a steep incline then I may leave the steps in the close position and use the portable step. I want to thank again the staff at etrailer.com for the prompt service and the very good price, believe I shopped for a good price and your price was the best I found, thanks again. Very Happy customer
Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
The series 32 double step is very well made and functions good as expected. I installed the step myself on my National Tradewinds Diesel Pusher. It was very easy to install, the bolt pattern and electrical connectors were an exact fit. The new Kwikee step opens and closes somewhat slower than the original one I replaced, but locks in place very well. Due to Covid-19 we were able to use the Motor home (step) last year only on one occasion and the step was a big improvement from the old one. I recommend the purchase of this step.

This product is the best for me because, all you have to do is bolt it on and connect the electrical wiring harness. This replace my worn-out electric steps to my RV.

Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
There was a problem with the first set of steps. We called and it was solved immediately. Will definitely be recommending your company. Motor and steps are at our mechanics being installed now. Thanks again for your prompt and friendly service.
Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
I'd never ordered RV parts online, but the price for electric steps from my RV repair place was so high that I decided to do some research. We were able to save between $200 to $300 by ordering the steps from etrailer. I had the steps shipped directly to the repair place for installation and they've worked beautifully for more than a year. Etrailer even emailed me for a follow-up, something I didn't expect. I am not mechanically inclined so was a little worried about getting the right ones and getting them delivered, but everything worked perfectly. I'll definitely order parts from etrailer in the future.
Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
Thank you Paula S for all the "Hard Work" you did to help me order the correct steps for our 2004 Holiday Rambler. Just had them installed today and they were a perfect fit. Thanks so much to etrailer.
Linda - 01/10/2021 Linda - 01/10/2021Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
Replaced an old Coach Step unit with a new Kwikee. Bolted right in and wired right up to the old harness. The only thing I had to do was change out the magnetic switch, because mine made the steps close when they should open. No big deal, and the magnetic switch came with the unit. Nice solid construction!!! Thanks Lippert Kwikee!!!
Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
I would have given a 5 star if there were holes across the front of the mount plate. Other than that everything was great. I got the steps on the day they were supposed to be here. I had to change the electrical plug and the sensor switch on my door (which was provided) but every wire was the same color as the old wires so it was easy. It only took me about 2 hours from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company and will most likely be using them in the future.

Bender M - 08/17/2020Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
This unit is fantastic! It was easy to install with minimal wiring to connect. I had manual steps that were badly bend so these new steps are a welcome replacement! These are highly recommended.
Review from a similar Kwikee 32 Series in RV and Camper Steps
It was an exact, bolt up, plug in replacement for the original. No problems, and every function worked. Amazing, really, on a 12 year old motor home, to be able to replace a part like that with no problems. The old steps weren't fully retracting, and got destroyed by hitting a rock wall.
