Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Replacement Gear Box and B Linkage for Kwikee Electric RV Steps

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the replacement gear box with the straight arm and the B linkage for Kwikee Electric RV Steps. Now, this part here will replace the gear box and the B linkage on your Kwikee Electric RV Steps. This is designed to fit the step series 28, series 31, series 37, and the series 39 steps. The gear box and the linkage work with a motor to power your steps. Now, the motor is not included, we do sell that separately on our website.

It is a fully enclosed gear box, protects the components from the elements, requires no maintenance. The B linkage, you can see the B right here to let you know that it has B linkage, with this straight arm is what'll rotate, push the steps out, and then pull them back in. This is a durable steel construction, it is zinc plated for strength and corrosion resistance. Does use a brass ball bearing to ensure long-term durability. This part is made in the USA, and the last thing I'm wanna do is just give you dimensions on this.

So if we measure the length, one end of the mounting plate to the other, it's about 8 1/4 inches, the width of it is 4 1/4 inches, and the overall height to the very top right up here, it's gonna be right at 3 1/4 inches tall. But again, just to show you how it rotates, you can see the gear in there. But that should do it for the review on the replacement gear box with the straight arm and the B linkage for the Kwikee Electric RV Steps..

The part was delivered on time and worked perfectly. I had to use the arm of my old gearbox, but that was my fault.
I was able to use the new part with my old motor by swapping the old gear with the new supplied one.
Etrailer is my go to for most parts.

Still going strong. No issues after install.



by:

Word of advice... NEVER SEND VIA USPS if at all possible. Took 8 days. 25-30 movements throughout postal channel.Sat in this post office 2 days before any movement. ATROCIOUS!!! Also you should send the 3 screws for the purchasers motor that fit the Lippert gear box female thread. My screws were a size or two under the thread needed to attach the motor. CHARGE $5 more and send three screws. I had to make a 7 mile trip to ACE HARDWARE.



by:

2009 Winnebago step repair. Also to say etrailer was great as far as sending the part out right away. The part was easy to install. And after a year our steps still work like new. Thank you etrailer for all you do. Your awesome.

  • Kwikee Electric RV Steps Motor and Gear Box Replacements
    For your Kwikee electric RV steps the motor you need is Replacement Motor for Kwikee Electric RV Steps - 12V Item # LC379147 and the gear box is Replacement Gear Box and B Linkage for Kwikee Electric RV Steps Item # LC379161 The LC369545 is what the manufacturer labels both parts when they are packaged together so that's why it wasn't coming up for you when you searched it. I've attached videos of both parts that offer additional information for you as well.

  • Replacement Gear Box 28 Series Steps on 2000 Itasca Spirit
    If you just need the gearbox, the linkage will have an A, B, or C. Once you know which one you have, then you will need one of the following: Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with A # LC379160 Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with B # LC379161 Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with C # LC379162 If you can't confirm which one you have, then I recommend the Upgrade Kit # LC379769 if you have a fairly straight linkage or # LC379145 if you have the curved linkage.

  • Replacement Motor for Kwikee 28 Series Steps with Gear/Linkage # LC379161
    You are correct, the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage B part # LC379161 is not compatible with the old motor on your 28 series steps, so you will need to upgrade to the Kwikee Motor for New IMGL Step part # LC379147.

    The LC369545 is what the manufacturer labels both the motor and gear box together but for just the gear box you'd want the part # LC379161 that you referenced.

  • How To Determine The Correct Gear Box For Kwikee RV Steps
    In order to determine the correct gear box replacement for your Kwikee RV steps, you'll want to look for a series model of the step, that is usually found printed on the underside of the step. For example, if your step indicated that you had Series 32 Steps, then you could use the Replacement Gear Box and A Linkage for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379160. This will fit step series 22, 23, 27, 28A, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, and 40. Or Alternatively. we also offer the Replacement Gear...

  • Replacement 151332 Motor and 151332 Gearbox For Kwikee 32 Series RV Steps
    We've ran into this issue before, but unfortunately Kwikee/Lippert no longer manufactures that 151332 motor, and I'm sorry to say that they do not offer a replacement. I was unable to find anything about the 131320 part you mentioned either. In the past, we've recommended replacing the steps with a current Kwikee Series 32 2-step like # LC3722615, which is honestly your best option at this point.

  • Replacement Parts for Older Lippert Kwikee Series 28 Electric Coach Step
    I confirmed with my contact at Lippert that motor kit # LC379608 and linkage kit # LC379648 are indeed the correct replacement parts for your older Kwikee Series 28 electric coach step. My contact indicated you do NOT also need linkage kit # LC379161. We do also have an update kit for this older step, part # LC379769, which includes the latest design integrated motor/gearbox/linkage. This brings your step more in line with their current production models. Another option that might cost...

  • Parts Needed to Upgrade Older Kwikee 28 Series Steps
    To make the new motor # LC379147 and gearbox # LC379161 compatible with your older Kwikee 28 series steps, you will actually need pigtail # LC369243 as well as a new control box # LC379146. I confirmed this with my contact at Lippert. He also stated that all these parts are included in their complete Motor Upgrade kit # LC379769, but since you had already purchased the motor and gearbox, you just need the correct pigtail and control box, and you'll be all set!

  • Availability of Linkage Style B for Kwikee Model 28 Steps
    I wish we had just the Style B linkage arm but the only solution we have would be the part # LC379161 you referenced which includes the linkage arm and step gear. This is a fit for your model 28 Kwikee though.

  • Replacement Kwikee Step 28 Series Linkage and Motor
    I reached out to my contact at Lippert and on the 28 series step you will have a B linkage. If you were just updating the linkage, then you would use the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with B # LC379161. If you were just updating the motor, then you would use the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Motor Replacement # LC379147. You can simply replace these components, but you may want to consider the Lippert Components Kwikee Steps Upgrade Kit for 28 Series # LC379769 which will...

  • Replacement Gearbox and Linkage Assembly for Kwikee Step on 2004 Winnebago Brave Motorhome
    Powered RV steps that still operate but that make bad mechanical noises may not need a new motor, but you're right that it is likely you'll need a new gearbox and/or linkage. There are two possible kits for your step unit. Part # LC379161 is the B style linkage for the Kwikee Step Series 28, 31, 37 and 39. This is Kwikee part number 1101426. Part # LC379162 is the C style linkage for the Series 26 step, Kwikee part 1101427. My contact at Lippert/Kwikee said that on the bottom of your...

If it does then I'd agree that just the control unit needs to be replaced. If it doesn't then you likely need to replace the motor as well. If your gearbox needs to be...

  • Troubleshooting Kwikee Electric Steps That Don't Retract All of the Way
    I spoke with my contact at Lippert Components and he said that there should be a cam on the side of your steps that allow you to adjust your steps, but the 4" difference that you are seeing is either the result of a bad motor or your gear missing a tooth. Try checking the teeth on your gear to make sure everything looks good. Either way if you could let me know what steps you have I can either help you find what you need.
