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 !!



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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!

This product has performed flawlessly for over a year. Great purchase.



by:

This product was a described and fixed our issue on motor home.



by:

I installed this kit on a customers RV and he happy it works great. I have not heard from him for any warranty or complaint. I will use this company when needed.



by:

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:

STILL WORKING!!!!!!!!!



by:

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.



by:

Installed it myself,fairly easy install, works great
Thanks



by:

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.



by:

Been lated up, it has prevented me from installing the upgrade.
Now I have time and can install it and give a fair review.

The RV step drive was a replacement for a 20+ unit that had failed. It fit perfectly. It has been working great.

Still working great



by:

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.



by:

The kit had everything you needed. The installation was easy to do. Thanks for your tip in how to maintain an Rv.



by:

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!



by:

Good product, extremely fast shipping!!

Kit was complete and arrived on time as promised.

Good videos, easy to install and works great!

Greg

It has been great. No problems at all.



by:

I was very pleased that the replacement part physically fit perfect. Wiring it in was easy because of directions.



by:

More stuff than I needed to switch over but that is not a problem.
Step works great now!

Edward

7/3/2023

Works like a charm. Installed easily and the step has never malfunctioned since.



by:

The parts arrived as expected. The only recommendation is to improve the packaging. The box was not large enough to accommodate packaging materials. Therefore the box was punctured in several places by the product. Thankfully no serious damage was done.

  • Troubleshooting Door Isolation Switch Not Functioning On RV Power Steps
    I'd check the wiring of the switch at the switch itself as well as back where it attaches to the step. It sounds like either the wiring of the switch is bad or the switch itself is bad. Since it's much more likely to be the wiring that would be what I would suspect. To test the switch you can bypass it by cutting the wires that run to the switch and having the two wires contact each other.

  • Replacement Kwikee 909506000 Controle Module
    I spoke with my contact at Lippert regarding your older Kwikee step assembly with the 909506000 control module. He stated that in order to replace the control unit all you need is the part # LC379606. This is designed for pre-IMGL step units like yours that were manufactured between 1999 and 2005. You do not need to replace any other components.

  • Replacement Motor for Kwikee 32 Steps with Power Gear 903209000 Motor
    I have a solution for you, but the # LC379145 is not the correct motor replacement for a PowerGear 903209000. According to my tech contact at Lippert, the correct replacement motor is the Replacement Lippert Components 5:1 Gearbox With Motor for RV Steps - Link Assembly "A" # LC62FR and will work with your Kwikee 32 steps with the PowerGear 903029000 motor. This comes with the motor and gearbox as a complete kit.

  • Looking for a Replacement Kwikee Step Motor 5973820 On a 2000 Monaco Windsor

With that being said, the Motor Upgrade Kit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379145 includes the motor, linkage, control unit, switch kit, and hardware. This replaces the motor for series 35 steps manufactured after 1999 and should get you back up and running again.

Also, the # LC379146 and # LC301702 would not be the correct parts, since they're for newer Kwikee steps.
