Easy to install- exact replacement of factory installed equipment.
On a scale of 1 to 10, the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Motor Conversion/Upgrade Kit is an 11. It was basically a plug and play unit. The wiring is color coded and matched the existing on my 2001 Challenger Motor Home. I would, however, recommend reading the instructions. They state you may have to install the new door magnet for the unit to operate, which was my case. But again, it was wired and color coded. Very happy with this product. It works perfectly !!!
I had several calls from and to Michelle, who took it upon herself to double check whether the replacement Kwikee step motor/operator assembly would work in an older coach, as the literature said '99 and newer, while our coach is a '95 Monaco.
The old unit died a natural death after 22 years, but Michelle was so certain it would work she advised if it did not, they would take it back!
Our Model 40 steps now work better than ever, and we have had the coach 17 years-perfectly smooth and quiet, and the replacement took about two hours, total. You must replace the door switch, but that was included, as were clear instructions.
Thank you Michelle, as the manufacturer suggested that I buy an entire step assembly, as "I had gotten my money's worth out of the old unit". I am continuing to, thanks to you.
Series 32 kit worked great. Took about 2 hrs to install. Works like a charm. I would recommend this product.
I have a 1999 Fleetwood Flair with the original model 32 Kwikee step. Through neglect, the steps began jamming and the stripped the gear in the gearbox. I originally purchased the replacement gear box (Item # LC379160) and upon receipt discovered it was not compatible with my old motor. This conversion/upgrade kit was my next purchase. etrailer paid for the return shipping of the incorrect linkage and I ordered this kit. It was required that I replace the 4 way harness with the upgraded model. This will require some heat-shrink connectors and zip ties to tidy things. After install the steps worked perfect in opposite until I replaced the included door magnet and removed my own. They looked the same but are different. Again, you'll need some heat-shrink connectors for this.
This motor upgrade kit for Kwikee Eletric RV Steps was very easy to replace the existing motor and parts. This has been working great for us. I would recommend this kit to anyone that wants to up grade or replace a tired and older unit. It took about 15-20 minutes to change.
Package arrived just a little ragged but everything was intact. Changed the motor and control unit without hassle, everything plugged up just like it was supposed to. Works Great!
I haven’t got it installed yet, but the shipping was fast and can’t wait to have it put in!
The new part fit perfectly and went together easily!
Motor & controller install in my 1998 Monaco Dynasty went fairly fast.
However, whomever replaced it previously hid the step "lock" switch fuse in the hollow below the passenger's drink holder. It took several hours to discover why the step didn't lock extended. After finding the hidden blow fuse, it all works perfectly!

Works as designed!
Just installed the kit this afternoon and everything working. Everywhere I read said you must change the magnetic switches, but when I put power to the step it worked before I had a chance to change the switches, it works in all modes with the old switches.
This upgrade kit had enough torque to completely lift the stairs on my 2004 Bigfoot 3000MH24SL - the other upgrade kit, LC29VR, did not. It works great now. The only difference is the old steps “off” switch, to keep the stairs extended with opening and close the door, was an open circuit for “off” - new controls are an open circuit for “on”. I just reversed and relabeled the switch in the RV so it works as original.

Step motor still working great after a year - I expect it to last a long time.
Great service from ETrailer but, no service with UPS . UPS doesn’t deliver on Saturday.
I ordered 3 day delivery and received my package in 7 days .
I will change my delivery service to FED-EX GROUND 6 day delivery.
This delayed cost me $132.00 and wasted day of my vacation.

Motor upgrade has been working great!! Absolutely no issues with the replacement. Thanks again
After talking to ETrailer they recommended the exact upgrade kit I needed for my older 2002 Monaco Windsor. It wasn't difficult to install and I'm very happy with the Kwikee upgrade kit. I was really impressed, because ETrailer's price were cheaper than Kwikee's. In fact, the people at Kwikee recommended I order it from ETrailer.

After a year it is still working without any problems.
Needed the motor and controller to get my old RV steps working again. The kit was easy to use by removing the old parts and replacing with the new parts in less than 30 minutes. Totally happy with the results, working steps at less cost than replacing the full step package. Etrailer has been my “go to” for this and a Receiver package in the past. Their videos helped in determining the “do it yourself” level of effort and provided confidence in getting the installations done easily and correctly. Thanks!

A year later and still extremely happy with all etrailer products I’ve bought, installed and used. The step motor controller package has operated like new. As I mentioned last year, etrailer Is definitely my “go to” company for best products, price and help via “DIY” videos.
This replacement part fit perfectly and easy to install. I recommend it.
I was very pleased that the replacement part physically fit perfect. Wiring it in was easy because of directions.
The kit had everything you needed. The installation was easy to do. Thanks for your tip in how to maintain an Rv.
The kit was easy to install. More importantly, we had a trip planned the day after Christmas and I found out the steps were not working only a few days before. You guys had the part in stock and shipped right away. Now we can enjoy and get in and out of our RV safely. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!
VERY EASY install, I lengthened the mag door switch leads to clean up the wiring, making future maint. easier. Operational checks as advertised. Wiring diagrams and tech data also VERY helpfull. Quiet, Smooth operation. Had been experiencing intermittent operation and occasional gear box lockup with our unit.
The control panel is working perfectly. I very much appreciated the help I got from etrailer staff that helped me find the correct conversion controller which saved me from having to buy a whole new step for my RV. Always great service.
Very good customer service, and received my order on time.
The job and the finished result turned out perfect, the steps work like brand new !! Thanks for the help etrailer !!
I have a 40 series step that was getting unreliable.
I replaced the controller and motor \ gearbox with the LC379145 kit.
The old harness plug was changed to the new one.
The only thing I had to supply was a few butt connectors and zip ties.
Everything bolted up and works just like it is supposed to.
Simple swap!
Almost a plug and play item except for having to connect the new plug end via wire connectors.
You do have to switch the wires on the magnetic door sensor too.
Works better than the original!

Works as good as the day I installed it.
Perfect replacement part to upgrade my 99 southwind rv automatic steps. This was a cheaper alternative than replacing the complete step assembly. I’ve used etrailer in the past and have always been impressed with their customer service and expertise.
