Can Door Magnets of RV Steps Be Reused When Installing Kwikee 25 Triple Step # LC3658373
Question:
Hi, I ordered the steps two days ago from your company and awaiting their arrival. Looked at the video this evening. I have the same model of rv as in the video. I do not understand why I will need to change the door contacts and not be able to use the existing ones. Why will it be reverse as stated in the video - steps come out if door close and steps come in when door open? Why is that?

There are two different types of door magnet setups for the Kwikee door steps. One set that closes a circuit when the magnets are close to each other and another that opens a circuit when they are close to each other. That means there's a 50/50 chance your current magnets are the correct style to use when you go to install the # LC3658373. You can try the install with your current magnets and if they work like they are supposed then you are fine to keep them, but if the steps work in reverse where they extend when they should retract and vice versa then you'll want to swap the magnets.
