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.

Motor, Gearbox, Linkage, Control Unit, and Switch Kit

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.

Safety Features

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.

Installation

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.
