Expert Answers about Winnebago


  • Troubleshooting Kwikee Steps Extending and Retracting During Travel When it Rains
  • If rain is causing the Kwikee Step assembly on your Winnebago to extend and retract that there is almost certainly something going on with the wiring that's causing a short. I know you said you already did this but I would still start by double and triple checking all the wiring for the control module and assembly to make sure there aren't any loose connections or pinched or exposed sections that need to be repaired/replaced. If all of this is good then there may be a crack or space somewhere...

  • No Power To Kwikee Level Best Leveling System
  • The first thing I would do is test for continuity to the actual control panel # LC77CJ with a circuit tester # PTW2993. If you are not receiving voltage at all, then you may have a defective panel. However, first you should ensure all your connections are secure and not corroded. The next thing I would do is check any fuses for the Level Best system, sometimes it may be as simple as replacing a blown fuse. At this point, if everything looks good, your control unit just needs to get replaced....

  • Out of Stroke Error on Lippert Ground Control
  • I am a bit confused by your question as Kwikee does not make trailer jacks but rather trailer steps. If you were instead referring to trailer jacks such as the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System part # LC358590 then the "out of stroke" error means you have extended the jack too far. If the jack will not retract using the touchpad then you will need to do so manually with the manual override on top or bottom (see photo). If you continue to get an "out of stroke"...

  • Troubleshooting Furrion Vision S Camera System Monitor that Wont Stay On
  • The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System w/ Side Marker Light Cameras - 5" Screen # FCE48TASL-05 can be setup to stay on for constant observation. You will need to adjust your monitor settings as it sounds like it may be in a power save mode. It also may be an issue if they didn't set up the cameras for constant power. Each camera has a trigger wire so if that isn't linked to the constant power, the camera may need to be triggered to work.

  • Troubleshooting 28 Series Kwikee Step that Won't Stop Running
  • Before replacing the linkage, like part # LC379648, on your steps first check the gear. I spoke with my contact at Lippert who said that when the motor is continually running that means that there are teeth missing on the gear. If you have a single or double step unit then the replacement gear is part # LC301696.

  • Troubleshooting Remote of Fan-Tastic Roof Vent 7350 Not Operating Fan
  • Have you tried reprogramming the remote? For programming a Fan-Tastic roof vent remote like part # FV9068-09 which is what your 7350 fan part # FV807350 uses what you need to do is hold your remote 12 inches away from the fan while holding both arrows. The Auto and Manual lights will begin flashing immediately. Continue holding both arrows down until the seven LED's flash once. Now it's programmed. You may have to try both sets of arrows, the speed and temp ones. If this does not work...

  • Troubleshooting Lippert Trailer Tongue Jack that the Light Will Come on But Will Not Extend/Retract
  • I have some other options for you to check out but Lippert said they do not have any detailed wiring diagrams for the jack. The ground is actually going to be your trailers ground, when the Lippert Electric Trailer Jack # LC285318 is wired the red power wire from the power Tongue Jack housing gets connected to a grounded 12V power supply on the trailer. The issue could either be a ground issue/insufficient power (could be a battery that is dying) which you would need to locate on your...

  • Troubleshooting LF Error on Lippert Ground Control Leveling System
  • The LF error on your Lippert Ground Control # LC358590 shows that there is an issue with the left front jack. Try manually extending that jack. Next extend all the jacks at least 6 inches an then press and hold the retract button until the jacks begin retracting. All of the jacks should fully retract and clear the error code. You should be able to auto level after that. If your left front jack won't manually extend or retract, check that jack's wiring and the fuse located at the control...

  • Fix for Trailer Wiring that Stops Working When Headlights are On
  • Try improving the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. Or you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground. This is actually the ideal solution. But you can also check the current grounds for the lights to make sure they are making a solid connection to a clean metal surface. The pins of the trailer wiring connectors should be checked an clean as needed too. What you described is the classic insufficient...

  • Troubleshooting a Kwikee Single Step That Will Not Fully Extend/Retract & Just Goes Back and Forth
  • We have encountered this problem before and it turns out it was the gear on the bottom of the steps starting to wear out, causing the step to bounce on the way in or out and not fully extend/retract. Since you have a single step, the correct gear would be the Replacement Gear for Lippert Single Step # LC301696. I do recommend checking that the gear is bad/worn out. If the gear looks to be in decent shape, it could potentially be the controller. It sounds like the switch is working out...

  • Why Does Only One Of My Trailer Brakes Lock Up When Driving But All Will Stop When Adjusting Brakes?
  • You may have some bad magnets in your brakes. It seems odd that 3 of the 4 would go bad but I have some tests that you can run to determine if they are bad or if the 1 magnet is bad and drawing more power than it should be. The wiring in series in normal for trailer brakes and does not explain why you are having the issue. The first test you should run is to see what power your brake controller is putting out when your trailer brakes are applied. For this you will need a Multimeter #...

  • Troubleshooting A Demco Stay-In-Play Indicator Light That Only Activates When Not Towing
  • The only thing I can think of that could cause an issue like this is that you have indicator light wired incorrectly to something that has power when not connected to the motorhome. In the typical setup you would connect the power for the indicator light to the cold side of the brake light switch, which for a 2022 Ford Maverick would be a purple/white wire. The ground for the switch would be wired to the ground on the G-Force controller of the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking...

  • Troubleshooting Lippert Powered A-Frame Jack that Became Slower
  • Lippert recommends periodically extending the leg of their powered A-frame jack part # LC285318 and cleaning it and lubricating it with silicone spray. I'd try this first and see if that helps.

  • Touchpad Control Panel For Kwikee Level Best Hydraulic RV Leveling System Not Functioning
  • Before you replace your unit try first, removing the screws holding your unit to your Winnebago. Then, remove the plug at the rear of the unit, wait 60 seconds, and plug back in. This will preform a reset on the unit and may solve your issue. This may have been caused if your battery has been fully discharged. If this does not solve your issue, then yes, a Replacement Touchpad Control Panel for Kwikee Level Best Hydraulic RV Leveling System for Winnebago # LC77CJ is the solution. These...

  • Troubleshooting the Brake Lights Not Coming on in my Flat Towed Vehicle
  • It sounds like you are more likely having and issue with your tow bar wiring rather than the Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243. You can test this by testing your Air Force One system. Depress the break and verify that the LED indicator light is coming on and that the actuator is pulling the brake pedal in your towed vehicle. If that is happening, then the Air Force One is working properly. The Air Force One is not what provides power to illuminate your brake...

  • Troubleshooting Pairing Issues With A Voyager WiSight 2.0 Wireless Backup Camera System
  • The Voyager WiSight 2.0 Wireless Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision for Prewired RV - 4.3" Screen # ASA24YR you were looking at is both the camera and the monitor and is the second generation of Voyager's camera systems. If you are trying to pair any parts of this system with the old system then that would be your issue since first generation and second generation cameras and monitors can not communicate with each other. I've attached the pairing process instructions below: If you're...

  • Troubleshooting Lack Of Power For An iRV63 RV Stereo System
  • The yellow wire is going to be your fused power which will run directly to your battery. There will need to be a 15 amp fuse in the fuse holder otherwise the no power will pass through to the stereo. If you have a fuse in there check it for continuity the ensure that it's not the cause of the issue. You can also prick into the wire between the fuse and stereo to quickly see if it's sending 12v through the fuse. You'll want to also hook the red wire to the ACC wire coming from the ignition...

  • Troubleshooting Front Brakes Locking Up On A Tandem Axle Trailer
  • Having already done adjustments and replaced multiple parts, you've really ruled out potential mechanical causes here. A next step would be to look at the electrical side of things. Specifically I would look at connection points in the wiring on the trailer to make sure all of the connections are correct and redo them. A short in the wiring to the back axle brakes could be the cause. During your thorough inspection of the wiring, look for any pinched, frayed, or damaged wires would...
