Extra room underfoot makes climbs feel steadier with a 30 inch wide step. Kwikee options suit motorhomes and fifth wheels, but confirm your entry height, mounting bracket width, and bolt pattern for a clean install. If your setup uses a door switch or magnet, note that some Kwikee systems need a normally open switch, and wiring may differ on older rigs.
Yes, with a few checks. Confirm the opening is wide enough and compare bolt patterns—some swaps require drilling new holes, especially on older motorhomes. Pick the step count that fits your entry height; many find moving to 3 steps makes entry easier.
Start by measuring your RV's step opening and the mounting bolt-hole spacing. Kwikee mounting patterns can differ between series, and a wider 30 inch step needs enough clearance. Also match the step count to your entry height—going from 2 to 3 steps can make climbing easier, but only if the rise suits your rig.
Some complete assemblies include the step, motor, switch, and a door magnet. Other kits may have only the step, motor, and switch. If you need a motor/gear assembly or a door magnet, verify the contents so you don't have to source parts separately. We don't have a 4 step electric setup in this width.
Wire colors may line up, but older rigs can have an extra heavy-gauge red wire for a past feature. If the new step works, cap the extra wire. If it doesn't, note what function fails and trace that circuit. Make sure your door switch is the correct normally open or normally closed type for the controller.
That points to the door switch type. Change the door magnets from normally closed to normally open. If mounting a magnetic switch is tough on your rig, use a normally open door switch in the existing location. Verify the door switch type matches the step control before re-testing.
