Replacement Linkage Arm or Upgrade Kit for Kwikee 3 Step on 2004 Georgie Boy Motorhome

Question:

Is this model the same as the original model installed on a 2004 Georgie boy? The specs are the same,rise/,width has a table motor plate and an adjustable linkage arm,amber light and etc. What is the correct adjustment of the linkage that is attached to the gear plate and the arm which retracts and extends the steps?The steps dont appear to retract all the way up snuggly under the coach. They appear to extend out properly.

I have no way of confirming what your 2004 Georgie Boy had as original steps, but the Lippert Kwikee 23 Series Electric Steps - 3 Steps - 8" Drop/Rise - 24" Wide - 300 lbs # LC3694042 are a very strong possibility as Lippert does steps for many manufacturers and are the leader in electric RV steps. I've attached a photo to help you with some of the profiles of the steps when retracted and extended so you can confirm the fit and determine if there is an issue.

If you need the replacement linkage, you will want # LC379649 for a 23 series step. If you are having issue with the gear plate and linkage, then Lippert does not have the replacement gear and instead requires the upgrade kit # LC379145 for any steps older than 2006 when they updated that component.
