Step in with confidence—Electric Step convenience and 3 Steps make the first step down easier and more natural. Some installs are plug-and-play with existing mounts, while others may require re-drilling to match the bolt pattern. Controls can extend with the door and hold open with a switch, or be wired to a simple on/off switch when a door magnet isn't used.
Yes, replacing a 2 step with 3 Steps lowers the first step and makes entry easier. One noted a 7 inch drop was a perfect height, and another went from a 12 inches off the ground first step to a better setup. Measure ground-to-mounting-plate clearance and confirm space for the extra step and width before ordering.
The step switch, when on, extends the steps the first time the door opens and keeps them out until the switch is off and the door is closed. The ignition override can make steps extend and retract with the door regardless of the switch. If the motion is reversed, swap extend/retract wires. For a simple on/off setup, you can wire to the battery and omit the control unit and door magnet.
Installation can be straightforward: unplug old wiring, remove bolts, lift new steps with a jack, bolt up, and plug in. Some reported plug and play with original mounting points lining up. Steps are heavy, so a jack or an extra set of hands helps. If holes don't match, be prepared to drill out new holes to align with your bracket.
They can be a direct bolt-on when the mounting holes match. Verify your bolt spacing (examples like 8/22 were used) and check clearance to the mounting plate. Some installs lined up perfectly and plugged right in. Others needed holes re-drilled or minor plate mods, especially on older motorhomes, where there was room on the mounting plate to make it work.
