  • Troubleshooting An iRV RV Stereo System That Won't Power On
  • If your iRV6500 RV stereo has stopped working then the I recommend removing it from the wall and checking the fuse on the back of the unit to see if it's blown. You'll also want to check the wiring for any damage or loose connections. If the fuse is good and there's no visible damage to the wires then the next step would be to check the power wire with a digital multimeter # PT89ZR to confirm if the unit is receiving a full 12 volts.

  • Troubleshooting Prest-O-Fit Step Rug Not Quite Lining Up w/ the Holes on a 2023 Keystone Montana
  • The Prest-O-Fit 4-Piece Step Rug Set # PR83SR is designed for the 2nd generation MORryde StepAbove steps. The 2nd generation does have the push button for the leg adjustment, not the pin.

  • Troubleshooting Kwikee Revolution Steps Motor Not Shutting Off When Fully Extended
  • According to Lippert you need to take the cover off the motor and inspect the plastic teeth to see if any of them are broken. If they are not broken then it is probably the controller.

More than likely the part you would need is the Replacement Control Unit for Kwikee Revolution Series Electric RV Steps # LC363980, which may...

  • Troubleshooting A MaxxAir MaxxFan 4900N Cover That Won't Lift Or Retract
  • Since you believe it may be a power issue I first recommend checking the voltage with a multimeter like # PT89ZR and ensuring you have 12v powering the unit. If you do then we know this isn't the cause. The next step would be to replace the operator mechanism which controls the lifting and closing of the vent cover. For a 4900n model you would need the Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vents # MA10-20281K-1AF. It could simply be the your operator...

  • RV Steps Move Slowly After Installing Replacement Motor LC301695
  • If your RV steps extend more slowly with new motor # LC301695 than they used to with their original motor in place then the issue is likely to be either a weak electrical/ground connection to the motor, a mechanical problem with the step hinge mechanism or that the motor is not geared the same way as the original. I would start off checking the ground since this is the easiest thing to fix. If you can hear the motor operate and see the steps move as soon as you hit the extend switch then...

  • Troubleshooting RV Steps Being Down When they Should Be up After the Installation of a new Motor

  • What Might Cause RV Tread Lite Steps to be Stuck in Open Position
  • It could be the sensors on the door of your RV that's either failed or fallen off. You might check there to verify that the magnets are there and working properly. These sensors basically are what tells the steps your door is open or closed and needs to retract or extend. Since the step is stuck in the out position and the magnets being near each other is what tells the steps to retract it's very possible your magnets aren't getting close to each other for some reason.
