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 (sold separately).
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.
Safety Features
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 30-1/4" wide and 24-11/16" 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 bracket size that is closest to your measurements without going over.
This page's step assembly is in bold text.

The step works great. It was an easy install for replacement.
by: Peter Le Lievre03/11/2021
Was a perfect fit for my 2005 Holiday Rambler Navigator. Listing says 25 1/4” width but it’s really 26 1/4” which is the correct size for Monaco built RV’s. Stainless trim from original steps needs to be transferred. Also I needed to trim some fibreglass panel on the lower fender to free the old steps.
by: Pete 01/02/2024
Excellent product. Reasonable price. Fast shipping.
by: Bruce06/30/2021
This step was a perfect replacment/upgrade for my coach. The only issue I had is it got damaged during shipment and emailed had to send out another unit. This item should be shipped on a pallet to avoid damage both saving me time and etrailer money. I would order again if the need arose.

- Troubleshooting Kwikee 42 Series Step that Motor Continues to Run for 2-3 Seconds After Steps ExtendIt could be that your Kwikee Series 42 Steps # LC372779 are just hanging up and bit and could use some lubricating spray on the gears; you'll want to use a dry silicone spray on these parts similar to the Roadmaster Lube Master # RM-747 to keep everything in working order. With that being said, this is also a sign that the motor on your Kwikee Series 42 steps could be weakening, so you'll want to keep an eye on this going forward. If it ends up that the motor goes out on your steps and...

Only solution we could help with is new steps: You'll just want to choose the steps that fit your application best. The 42 Series Kwikee Step # LC372779 is 25-1/4" wide and has a mounting plate that is 30-1/4" wide x 24-11/16" deep. The 47 Series Kwikee Step # LC427247 is 26-1/4" wide and has a mounting plate that is 30-3/8" wide x 20-1/2" deep.

It hopefully won't be too bad for you since it's only a couple of quick measurements. You're first going to need to measure the width and depth of the space beneath your doorway, as well as the distance from mounting point to the ground. With these measurements I'll be bale to find you a set of steps more suitable for you.

But the powered 40 Series Kwikee Electric RV Step, # LC3726892 with a bolt pattern of 20-1/2" wide x 12-7/8" deep is the pattern the manufacturer set for their product; it is not an industry standard bolt pattern that is matched by others. I do not find a manual pull out step listed that can be confirmed to bolt match your existing bolt pattern. But I can recommend an easy to install pull step with great...

- Recommended 2 Step Replacement for RV With a Single StepEven though the customer gets to make the ultimate decision, you are limited to what can actually work on your Whitehaven Winnebago. Since almost every situation is different, I cannot accurately give you a recommendation for your steps unless I know the size and drop of your current steps. We have a variety of universal fit steps including manual pull out steps and electric steps with drops ranging from 6 inches to 9 inches. Other dimensions that you will want to consider before choosing...
view full answer... - Folding Handrail Recommendation for a MotorhomeTo add a handrail for use in conjunction with the Lippert 42 Series Steps # LC372779 we need a universal option as there aren't any made specifically for this step. The Stromberg-Carlson Folding Handrail # AC-544 has been a standard for years and is a solid choice to help make it easier to enter your motorhome. If you want to add some grips to it to make it a little easier to use then we have that available in 9" segments as part # AM-01.
view full answer... - Replacement Gear For A 2000 Kwikee 42 Series RV Electric Step Due to the age of your steps the gear you referenced is no longer available so you would need to instead purchase an upgrade kit # LC380266, replacement mounting table # LC372749, and bushing # LC366059 in order to get the steps back in working order. The only other option we currently offer would be a full replacement of the steps with part # LC372779.
view full answer... - Option For Replacing A 372558 Kwikee Electric RV StepWe do have a potential option for you, but to answer your question, no, the # LC372779 steps cannot be used to replace the 372558 steps on your 2022 Entegra Anthem Motorhome. The 372558 step is 25-3/4" wide overall and the # LC372779 is 30-1/4" wide, which will likely be much too wide to fit in the existing cutout. If you are in need of a new step, we suggest going with a direct replacement # LC372558. This will replace the step, motor and control, and will fit perfectly in the current space.
view full answer... - Can Lippert SolidStep Be Used on a Class A MotorhomeThat's exactly why you need to use electric steps like what we see with the Kwikee Series 42 # LC372779 steps. Class A motorhomes just have that one entrance which would make it too difficult to utilize a pull down step like the Lippert SolidStep # LC791574. I you're needing to replace your electric steps then the 42 Series I mentioned above are a good fit if the entry height is 15-1/4" - 17-1/4" and the 29" wide x 18" deep bolt pattern matches. These are designed to open and close when...

view full answer... - Replacement Steps for Kwikee 42 Series I may have a solution for you depending on which series of steps you have but I am sorry they do not just offer a lower step for the Kwikee's. The part number you sent me is for the control model item # LC379604 and it only works in 37 and 42 series steps. If you have the 42 series you can replace it with the Replacement Steps item # LC372779. This is the only replacement option for steps we have for the 42 series. We do not have a replacement for the 37 series.

Step dimensions are 25-1/4" wide x 9-1/2" deep with a Drop/Rise of 6", please note the product review video that is linked.

view full answer... - Replacement For Kwikee Series 42 StepsHi Rick; so unfortunately that is not correct due to the age of your Series 42 steps. Per Lippert (the manufacturer of Kwikee), steps from early 1999 actually have no replacement parts available due to the age (see below). So while I know it stinks, the only thing I can offer is to replace your Series 42 steps with a new unit, the Replacement Steps, Motor, and Control for Kwikee RV Electric Steps - 42 Series # LC372779.
view full answer... - Kwikee Steps Not Operating After Replacing Trailer BatteryIt sounds like the Kwikee Step part # LC372779 is not getting 12V power from auxiliary battery. The first thing to check is the battery disconnect switch box that is between the positive side of the battery and the 30 amp fuse. If that box is switched to "off" the step will not operate. If the switch is on, I recommend to check the ground wires to the battery to make sure they have a secure connection. The battery should have a secure ground to the chassis.
