Will Lippert Components 5:1 Gearbox With Motor LC62FR Work For Kwikee Double Step

Updated 05/19/2021 | Published 05/17/2021

Question:

Kwikee electric two step. I have a 2004 Monaco MH with electric steps. Produced 11/02/2003, PN 903206000 SN 169918. The step gear box was replaced 4/18/2018 by LC379147 from you. this gearbox is made in China. I am having a torque lock problem in full out and full in position. The two washers were missing between the motor and gear box. If i take it apart and put it back together it works fine and i did install the two washers that were missing this time. In addition to the washers i have 3 of the 4 rubber bumpers that cushion the steps in the up position missing. Are they available?? The LC62FR seems to be the replacement part i need. It seems to have a stronger motor and 5 to 1 instead of the 3.3 to 1 ratio of the China model. Do you have the spray lubricant for the step moving points??

Since you have the newer version "A" linkage and motor for your Kwikee double step, yes, you can replace it with the stronger motor and gearbox from Lippert that you mentioned:

- Replacement Lippert Components 5:1 Gearbox With Motor for RV Steps - Link Assembly "A" # LC62FR

This part will work with your current double steps for a stronger motor. We unfortunately do not have the rubber bumpers or spray lubricant, however.
