Replaces the electric step, motor, and switch kit for your Kwikee 26 series RV steps. Motor extends and retracts the step when it receives the signal from the switch kit. Wiring pigtail hardwires to your RV's power.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This step assembly includes the steps, motor, and switch kit only. The steps will operate manually through the switch kit.
If you want the complete step assembly that allows the steps to automatically extend and retract with the RV door, you will need a control unit. The switch kit included with this assembly will still work, but if you want to be able to override the automatic retraction, so the steps stay out whether the door is open or closed, you will need a different switch kit. The complete assembly with steps, motor, control unit, and switch kit is available under part number LC3711363 .
The included 4-way plug fits into the existing wiring harness on your RV. Most vehicles should have this wiring already set up. In the event that your RV is missing the wiring, a 4-way pigtail is included to help you hardwire the unit to your RV.
The Kwikee steps include several safety features in an effort to prevent injury to you or your passengers and damage to the RV steps. If an obstruction is detected while extending, the steps will halt and retract back into the stowed position. The steps will also retract when you turn on the vehicle's ignition, even if the automatic retraction override has been activated, in case you forget to stow them before driving away.
Will Kwikee Electric Steps Work for You?
Electric steps are typically installed on RVs and some travel trailers. The electric steps from Kwikee install and fold up underneath the camper for simple storage. To ensure you choose the correct size for your application, there are a few measurements you will need to take.
The Kwikee electric steps attach to the underside of the camper chassis, directly beneath the doorway. To decide which size you'll need, locate the space available underneath your camper that lines up with the doorframe, and measure the width and depth. You will need a mounting space is at least 25-1/4" wide and 10" deep.
If it turns out you have more or less space beneath your doorway, there are other step assemblies available with bracket sizes ranging from 24-3/4" wide to 37-1/4" wide. A full list of the available steps is below.
Outriggers - metal brackets that act as an extension (LC301704 - sold separately) - may be needed for installation depending on the model of your original stairs. These provide extra length if the old steps are longer or wider than the new.
Once you know where the mounting bracket will go and what size mounting bracket you need, that spot will be used as the "mounting point" to determine how many steps you will need.
How Many Steps Do You Need?
To decide on how many steps you'll need, measure from the mounting point to the ground. This is called the entry height. The entry height should roughly match the height of the steps when they're fully extended, plus 6" to 8" to account for the drop from the bottom step to the ground. This measurement will also tell you how many steps you need.
The chart below displays mounting bracket widths in the first column and entry height measurements in the second column. The third column shows the corresponding part numbers. Use the mounting bracket width and entry height measurements you took to determine which part number will fit your RV. Choose the bracket size that is closest to your measurements without going over.

Replaces the electric step, motor, and switch kit for your Kwikee 26 series RV steps. Motor extends and retracts the step when it receives the signal from the switch kit. Wiring pigtail hardwires to your RV's power.Had to replace my old ones after smacking a curb going through a driveway. These came fast and were a quick replacement. Thanks etrailer.
This step is used in a very unconventional way.
This application may not be what you are looking for in promoting the product.
This is replacing the identical step on my 4Runner.My wife has mobility issues and can not raise her foot to the height of the factory running boards.
Installing your step allowed me to retain my 2016, 4Runner.
Received the step this afternoon and is installed and working well tonight.
Delivered on time and bolted right up and works excellently. Always had great experience when purchasing anything from Etrailer!
I recieved a bare bone unit i know its not suppose to come with the controller but it is suppose to come with a motor! All it came with is the frame and switch kit
Replacement step is like new
Great Step! Bolt pattern fit exactly with the one I was replacing so it took some no time to get everything bolted up. Electrical connection worked great and step operated as expected.

No issues solid product.
Product arrived promptly!! Will highly recommend this business to fellow RV'ers.
Very pleased with the replacement steps that I ordered.
Was an exact replacement. No problems. Etrailer is the place for your RV needs.
Best price on the internet. I was initially concerned delivery would not be as quick as it would if I payed more at another online retailer, but WOW, was I wrong. Got it in 2 days! etrailer is my "go to" from now on.
Just received this step yesterday, just what we needed for our RV.
Shipping was fast, just a few days.
This is the second item we have ordered from etrailer, very happy with the service.
The step was good. However we damaged it again because it was so low. So we had it removed and will not replace.

It is good to measure where this step will sit from the ground before purchasing because it adds an additional 7 inches to your vehicle or RV.
Delivered on time at a great price after the first delivery came damaged. Customer service was very helpful.
Perfect fit. After 1 year works just like new. Very satisfied.
The part arrived and fit perfectly. The shipping was fantastic as was teh true customer support. This team believes in true customer service!
Awesome service! Thanks Stacey A for always taking care of our needs
Easy to install
Received will open Monday thanks
About a year ago we had to replace our Kwikee Electric motorhome steps. Thanks to the people at etrailer we were able to get the correct steps and in a reasonable amount of time.
Thank you etrailer.
It was an easy installation. Closely resembles the original step. Works good. My only concern is durability: The original was ALL metal and lasted 30 years. This new one has a lot a plastic.
My experience regarding this purchase has been very good. We recently purchased a used RV and found that the previous owner had cannibalized the motor and control unit from the existing step; what remained was rusted and unusable. I removed old step, cleaned up the remaining rust and painted the area where the new step would go. When I received the complete replacement assembly I could tell immediately that it was well engineered and made with quality materials. Installation was straightforward, included everything required and I was provided with information on how to get help if I needed it.
I would definitely encourage anyone in need of quality parts for their RV to give etrailer a serious look. I will continue to be a customer.
