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:

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:

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



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:

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.

STILL WORKING!!!!!!!!!



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:

Installed it myself,fairly easy install, works great

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

Great Company



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.

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!

Good product, extremely fast shipping!!

Kit was complete and arrived on time as promised.

The kwikee steps, step parts and upgrade kits are exactly as described. They will fix you RV steps immediately and if need be it would be our pleasure to install you kwikee step parts of you need assistance.



by:

After talking to ETrailer they recommended the exact upgrade kit I needed for my older 2002 Monaco Windsor. It wasn't difficult to install and I'm very happy with the Kwikee upgrade kit. I was really impressed, because ETrailer's price were cheaper than Kwikee's. In fact, the people at Kwikee recommended I order it from ETrailer.

Tim S.

After a year it is still working without any problems.



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.

  • Replacement Parts for Kwikee Steps on 2003 Itasca Horizon
    I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between the old and the upgraded controllers aside from the fact that the old model doesn't have a direct replacement. They made a change to the steps after 2005 moving to the integrated system which uses a different controller. Anything manufactured from 1999-2005 used pre-IMGL components and the old replacement parts are no longer available. If you haven't upgraded anything on your steps already you will need to use the upgrade kit for replacement...

  • Replacement Control Module Solution for Kwikee Lippert Step with Module # 909506000

He was able to confirm that the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Motor Conversion/Upgrade Kit # LC379145 is exactly what you need to replace the controller and motor on your model 909506000 assembly. This will work perfect to not only replace the control module on the unit, but also upgrade it and the motor to the current style.

  • Solution for Needing Replacement Motor for Kwikee 9513/9514 Motor

  • Troubleshooting a Kwikee Step Override Switch Not Working After Installing a Motor Upgrade Kit
    While not ideal, the issue is likely coming from the fact that the Motor Upgrade Kit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379145 includes a switch kit that overrides the step. Having your original switch and the switch kit included int he upgrade kit s probably causing the issues. The easiest way would be to use the switch kit that comes with the upgrade kit, which gets installed near the door/door frame. That would make the switch by the windshield a dummy switch.

  • Replacement Motor for Lippert Kwikee 32 Series Steps on 1997 Winnebago
    Although I managed to find an online owner's manual for your 1997 Winnebago Adventurer, it did not specify the specific steps that you have. The Winnebago manual said there will be another manual specifically for your steps which has detailed information about them; you will need to use this manual to find out the manufacturer and model. This will allow you to get the correct replacement motor; for example the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Motor for 25 Series # LC369506 is, as the name...

  • Replacement Motor and Linkage for Steps with Kwikee 909506000 Control Box
    It looks like the Kwikee 909506000 part you're referring to is the control box. While most of the parts corresponding to this control box have been discontinued for anything built before 1999, we do have a solution for you on this. Since it appears your steps would likely have been manufactured between 1999-2005 you will need an update of all the electronic components and can use Lippert Components Kwikee Step Motor Conversion/Upgrade Kit for your series 22 steps, # LC379145.

    We may have a solution for you but controller 90950600 has been discontinued.

  • RV Steps Only Come Out With Engine On
    I would first check for a switch just inside the door of your coach. In most cases there is a switch on the step system to shut it down so it doesn't move in and out( labeled Entry Step). There will be an override there that allows it to operate when the vehicle is started so if you didn't pull them back in they will retract automatically. This can also deploy the steps when the door is opened overriding the switch. Another cause can be that the main 12V supply switch is turned off...

  • Replacement Motor for Kwikee 32 Series Steps on 1999 Winnebago Motorhome
    Since you have older steps made in 1999 you're going to need the Motor Upgrade Kit # LC379145 which comes with the control unit, gear box, and motor. Unfortunately the parts for the older Kwikee steps are no longer made so you either need this upgrade kit or a whole new step assembly. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Replacement Motor and Controller Kit for Kwikee Model 32 Electric RV Step on 1999 Winnebago
    Thank you for the details about your powered RV step and the troubleshooting you've already done. That is really helpful since you've eliminated the motor/gear assembly as the cause for the issue by verifying it works when directly powered with +12VDC. I checked with my technical contact at Lippert who confirmed that the Kwikee Step Motor Conversion/Upgrade Kit # LC379145 that you referenced is indeed your best bet since it includes a new motor/gear unit along with the controller circuitry....
