Today we're going to take a look at the Lippert Components Kwikee Motor and the Screws for a New IMGL Steps. Now this Kwikee Motor and Screws is for the new IMGL Steps that are manufactured after October 2005. And the IMGL and the step stands for Integrated Motor Gearbox and Linkage.This is designed to help the step automatically extend when you open your RV door and retract when you close your RV door. This is the direct replacement for the older model Lippert number, number 366043.And this motor will automatically shut down if the step does strike an obstacle. The actual part number on this Kwikee part number is 1101428 and it does come with the three mounting screws to install it.But that should do it for the review on the Lippert Components Kwikee Motor and Screws for a New IMGL Step.

The motor works great easy installation. etrailer is a great company to work with.
Worked well. If you here grinding noise on your steps it is the motor gear box not the main gear box. I made the mistake and ordered the gear box with out inspecting it. I just needed the Motor

Great fixed the problem with the grinding sound
Part arrived and fit as advertised. Helpful phone support during the ordering process.
Be careful of the gear, alignment pin and spacers when removing old motor.
This is the third drive system I have put on my stairs in 5 years. Replacement is easy, thank goodness etrailer delivers to campgrounds.
Every mechanical device has a weakest link. For my style of stairs, it is the plastic ‘driven gear’ in the motor drive. Too bad they don’t make a stronger gear snd use a shear pin that could be replaced with a $1.00 part

The drive motor assembly I purchased from etrailer has lasted a year so far. We typically use the RV for 6-10 weeks of travel a year so it gets a lot of use. Being deliberate in waiting for the steps to finish deploying before stepping on them may be the key
Just installed the part, works fantastic. Easy to install yourself, reasonably priced. Saved hundreds diy.

Fantastic, I have directed 2 other people who had similar issue.
Fairly simple replacement to take on myself as a project. Only difficulty encountered is how to release the electrical connection that plugs in to the motor. The method used with the replacement product does not have exactly the same release features. Much easier to do the work over a pit where you can see better how to make it release. I could heqr the audible click when it locked in place with the new unit. Thanks, Dave
Etrailer is the best they corrected my error in shipping address after the order and completed everything they said they would do. Plus they were half the price Newmar wanted
Everything from start to finish was easy. Very easy and quick to install. Will continue to order from etrailer.com . Great staff and customer service !!
Thanks for your help and advice, made the installation very nice.

Still working well. Thanks for asking.
My experience with ETrailer has always been top shelf. Mike B verified the part numbers were correct and shipped ASAP i received when i was suppose to. installed and works great. Thanks etrailer and Mike B.
Arrived when promised, eTrailer staff accommodated my need for the order to be split into two shipments.
Motor was a direct replacement. I replaced it and the controller together. All of the troubleshooting pointed to both. Replaced both steps work again.
Easy to install with good instructions and it woks.
The motor is a direct replacement, just arrived yesterday so haven’t yet installed it. Opened the box and there’s only 2 bolts in the box…seriously? Luckily I have the 3 that were on the coach.
Easy installation plug and play
etrailer customer service is 5 star however kwikee step motor and gear box are poor design, short life span. Uses a metal gear meshing to plastic gear is terrible engineering. I replaced 3 motors and 1 gear box on 2 different Tiffin in 10 years. I’m sure some owners have had better luck but hasn’t been my case and according to social media a lot of people post step problem. I ordered my last motor from etrailer because along with my 10 year history with buying from etrailer if you call them they make sure you buy the correct part. They ship on time and I have never had a problem with them but confident if I did it would get resolved quickly and satisfactorily.
Perfect replacement. I like dealing with etrailer. Always a good experience.
Received them promptly, installed about 3 hours ago, my steps are like new. Thanks!
Very helpful with installation when I was having trouble aligning connections!
The removal and installing of the replacement motor was easy except two things. One the step was in the retracted position and I had a difficult time trying to remove the pin to let the step down. The second issue was disconnecting the power from the motor.
Still working one year later!
Product arrived very quickly, applied it and step worked like new, time to go camping and put the step to work.
Worked perfect
My steps got stuck retracted back in May. A friend and I troubleshoot and initially we believed it to be the motor, but after removal it worked, so I replaced the Control Module instead. Steps were working until I got to the camp site and once again they got stuck retracted, I tapped on the motor a couple of times and it extended. As soon as we got it home it happened again, so I ordered the motor. Took me about 10 minute to change out; ensure you bring the old motor straight down so you don't drop the gear and pin from it, those will need to be transferred over to the new motor before installation.
As advertised and easy to install. Have it for 1 year and no problems
