This replacement part fit perfectly and easy to install. I recommend it.

Have a 97 RV that I put this on. Easy install, great torque on the drive. Stairs pull up nice and tight. Order arrived fast. Would recommend the assembly and etrailer to anyone.

Thanks, great service parts work great, Evan

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!
by: Dean 11/11/2021
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.

This product was a described and fixed our issue on motor home.
by: Keith VZ08/12/2019
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.

Everything you need to get your steps working again is included with this kit. New hardware, wiring harnesses and adapter is in the box and super easy to install. I had my steps working again in a matter of minutes and one year later no issues at all!
by: Dave N05/28/2020
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.

Installed it myself,fairly easy install, works great
Thanks

Now I have time and can install it and give a fair review.

The RV step was a replacement for the unit that had failed. It fit perfectly, and is working great.

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.

WOW! What great products and service from etrailer!
The entry step controller on our coach failed the week before our first planned trip of the year. I checked with many rv dealers in our area for the parts.
Best delivery from the dealers was two and a half weeks out. I then checked etrailer and was able to get the parts delivered in two DAYS! The price was excellent, the parts were correct, the delivery was great!
Thanks again to all at etrailer!

- Replacement Motor for Lippert Components Kwikee StepI reached out to my contact at Lippert Components and they confirmed that the old motor and the new gearbox are not compatible. With the step frame cracked and the gearbox cracked your best option would be to replace the complete steps. If you have the Lippert Components Kwikee Step # LC3722618 you will need the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Motor Conversion Kit # LC379145.
view full answer... - What Causes Linkage Arm on Kwikee Step 151332 To BreakThe broken step arm can be caused by more than one issue but the control module simply tells the step when to function. The motor however is a resistant motor so if working correct would stop when too much pressure or force is being applied. I suggest an upgrade kit to fix the issue, the Motor Upgrade Kit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps part # LC379145.
view full answer... - Replacement Controller for a Kwikee 909510000 ControlWe have the correct controller but the Kwikee Step Control Step with Override Control Panel # LC381020 would not be the correct controller for you. The correct replacement controller for your 909510000 is the Replacement Control Unit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379146. If you have verified power is getting to the controller but not making it out of the controller then there is a good chance that the controller is the issue. I would recommend checking the motor itself by connecting...
view full answer... - Replacement Motor and Gearbox Recommendation for Kwikee 32 Steps on RVThe correct replacment motor for a Kwikee 32 Series step is going to be the part # LC379608. If you need the motor and gear box like what you have in your picture you'd ned the part # LC379145.

- Replacement for Kwikee P/N 909506000I have a solution for you, but the Kwikee part number 909506000 has been discontinued by the manufacturer, which is why you're not seeing it. Also, the # LC379146 and # LC301702 would not be the correct parts, since they're for newer Kwikee steps. Instead, you would want to use the Motor Upgrade Kit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379145 which is compatible with Kwikee Series 22, 23, 28A, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, and 40 steps and is the upgrade kit for steps manufactured before 1999....

Unfortunately the parts for the older Kwikee steps are no longer made so you either need this upgrade kit or a whole new step assembly. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

view full answer... - Which Linkage, Motor, and Module Fits Kwikee Series 32 StepsThe correct replacement control module for your Kwikee Series 32 Steps is the Lippert Components Kwikee Control Unit part # LC379606. The motor you'd need is the part # LC379147, and the linkage the A linkage part # LC379160. If you needed all of these components you could use the # LC379145 that you referenced.
view full answer... - Kwikee Step Motor Upgrade Kit for 2000 Airstream XL 390Since we know you have a double step and the A linkage the Motor Upgrade Kit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379145 that you referenced is the correct kit. There isn't a way to retract the steps manually.
view full answer... - Replacement Motor for Series 32 Kwikee Steps On a 1994 Fleetwood BounderIf the part number on your motor reads "379608" then you can use the Replacement Motor with Mounting Plate for Kwikee Electric RV Steps part # LC379608 to replace this.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Kwikee RV Step Setup with Module 909506000 Where Gears Seem to JumpBased on what you described it sounds like you have a damaged linkage on your Kwikee step setup. The linkage on your setup will have an A, B, or C. Once you know which one you have, then you will need one of the following: Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with A # LC379160 Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with B # LC379161 Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with C # LC379162
view full answer... - Motor for Older Kwikee 32 Series StepsBased on the age of your Holiday Rambler the correct motor replacement is the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Motor Replacement Kit For Pre-IMGL # LC379608. However, I strongly recommend instead going with the Kwikee Step Motor Conversion/Upgrade Kit # LC379145 to get the current style motor and control board for your steps.

- Kwikee 28 Series Step Works In ReverseIt sounds like you switched the two wires when reinstalling the motor. I contacted Kwikee and there are only two reasons they would work in reverse, the switch is wrong or the wires were switched. If you recently upgraded the motor in your Kwikee Electric step with part # LC379145 then the door switch needs to be upgraded as well. Usually that is the reason the steps work in reverse, is someone will change out the motor but not use the switch that came with the kit. Somewhere along the...

The correct replacement control module will depend on when your steps where manufactured. If the steps were manufactured in 2005 or earlier, you'd use part # LC379606. If the steps were manufactured after 2005, you'd use the part # LC379146. I've linked to product description videos for the replacement control modules for the Kwikee 32 Series RV Steps.
