Replaces the electric steps, motor, and control unit for your Kwikee 25 series RV steps. Motor and control unit automatically extend and retract the steps when you open and close your door. Wiring pigtail hardwires to your RV's power.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This step assembly includes the steps, motor, and control unit only. The steps will operate automatically, extending when the RV door opens and retracting when the door closes.
If you want the complete step assembly that also allows you to override the automatic retraction so the steps stay out whether the door is open or closed, you will need a switch kit. The complete assembly with steps, motor, control unit, and switch kit is available under part number LC3658373.
The included 4-way plug fits into the existing wiring harness on your RV. Most vehicles should having this wiring already set up. In the event that your RV is missing the wiring, a 4-way pigtail is included to help you hardwire the unit to your RV.
The Kwikee steps include several safety features in an effort to prevent injury to you or your passengers and damage to the RV steps. If an obstruction is detected while extending, the steps will halt and retract back into the stowed position. The steps will also retract when you turn on the vehicles ignition, even if the automatic retraction override has been activated, in case you forget to stow them before driving away.
Will Kwikee Electric Steps Work for You?
Electric steps are typically installed on RVs and some travel trailers. The electric steps from Kwikee install and fold up underneath the camper for simple storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Kwikee electric steps attach to the underside of the camper chassis, directly beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available underneath your camper that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and depth. You will need a mounting space that is at least 25-1/2" wide and 11-3/8" deep.
If it turns out you have more or less space beneath your doorway, there are other step assemblies available with bracket sizes ranging from 24-3/4" wide to 37-1/4" wide. A full list of the available steps is below.
Outriggers - metal brackets that act as an extension (LC301704 - sold separately) - may be needed for installation depending on the model of your original stairs. These provide extra length if the old steps are longer or wider than the new.
Once you know where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, that spot will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To decide on how many steps you'll need, measure from the mounting point to the ground. This is called the entry height. The entry height should roughly match the height of the steps when they're fully extended, plus 6" to 8" to account for the drop from the bottom step to the ground. This measurement will also tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays mounting bracket widths in the first column and entry height measurements in the second column. The third column shows the corresponding part numbers. Use the mounting bracket width and entry height measurements you took to determine which part number will fit your RV. Choose the mounting bracket size that is closest to your measurements without going over.

Wiring pigtail hardwires to your RV's power.the product looks OK but the packaging is in need of some redesign
this is how it arrived at my door.
really.. I would expect more than thin corrugated cardboard to keep this 85 lb thing from rattling around in the box.
we'll see if it works in the next couple days.
There are several models of this step and it was confusing finding the right replacement. The videos showing how to remove the old step and install the new were great. The original model I purchased was not in stock but was supposed to be in stock in a week or two. After a week I received an update that my step would not be in stock for 4 to 5 months and suggesting another model that was not the same as the step I was replacing. After looking at the other models I ordered the model I found the correct replacement step at a slightly higher price and received it in 4 days. The box the step was delivered in was destroyed (see photo) but the steps were undamaged. My wife and I are 74 and thanks to the etrailer videos we were able to install the new steps. They are very heavy. Everything worked as expected.
Great customer service. Was not at all happy with the condition of the box the steps came in. Needs to be taped all around or put into a heavier duty box.
Very quick delivery and excellent follow-up. I will definitely consider etrailer for my future Rv needs. Thank you.
I purchased a RV electric extending set of steps (3), and I am very satisfied with the quality and price of the product, price (best on web!), customers service, and the free fast 3 day shipping across the US.
The box it ships with was pretty much unable to handle the weight and six but since the step assembly is 87 pounds and all steel, it was not an issue. Thanks etrailer.com.
Great process for success. Your company should run our government! Item already installed and working. You saved me a boatload..
Thank you, was pretty easy install with only one call to Tech Support. It works great just like the last one, but now with the upgraded electrical system. Thanks again for making this installation simple considering it was replacing an old 2007 unit.
Great discount due to barely visible scratches and dents. Installed and operates perfectly. Received promptly
Perfect fit, exact replacement for my damaged stairs. Installed in about an hour and a half, plugged it in and works perfect. Excellent price, quick delivery.
Install today went on easy seems to be working great
The step is everything i wanted. The tracking of the product is excellent. The box the step came in was completely destroyed that proves steel is stronger than cardboard the step unharmed.
Love the steps. I've bought quit a few things through etrailer and I appreciate you.

after a year, the stairs have worked great, I do remember that when testing them on the ground, the wiring diagram had two wires reversed, this was easy to figure out and everything has worked fine since
