Note: This step assembly includes everything you need to install and use the steps on your RV.
The included 4-way plug fits into the existing wiring harness on your RV. Most vehicles should having 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 vehicles 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 that is at least 32-3/8" wide and 11-3/8" 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.

Electric step assembly includes everything you need to automatically open and close the steps with your RV door. Motor and control unit extend and retract steps. Switch kit overrides step retraction. Amber light illuminates when steps extend.The new stairs are excellent as well as Etrailer’s customers service. The shipping was fast and free. I only had one issue with the installation. The magnetic door switch is not compatible with my Phaeton. There really isn’t a good spot on my rig to mount that type of switch. I realized that my existing door switch on my rig was a normally closed switch. The new stairs need a normally open door switch. I purchased a new n/o door switch for $20.00 and installed it right where my old switch was located.
See photo attached.
Maybe this will help someone in the future.

Easy to install and works as good if not better than the original.
Overall excellent. The footprint of the mounting holes did not match the previous Kwikee steps I had; so I had to drill through the baseplate. Also the magnet operation to open/close was reverse of the older model; so I had to install new magnets (supplied with product). Other than that, steps are solid and operating fine.
I installed the new kwikee series 34 steps on a 2009 Tiffin Phaeton 36 QSH. They bolted up on the support frames with out drilling any new holes. The kwikee installation manual was a life saver. I went through all the step testing and chassis wiring test. I had a problem with the door magnetic switch which I found during the test procedures. I am well satisfied with the new steps.
A year later - we're still very happy with our replacement Kwikee step. The price was right, fast shipping, and everything works as it should. If you're debating fixing or replacing your worn-out step - replace it!
Great quality
They fit perfect and installation was a breeze
Great product, and it was an easy insta llation!
etrailer had the model I needed. I tried one other company and they sent me the wrong model. Shipments are always quick with etrailer.
The step works fine after 1 year in operation.
Would purchase again from etrailer.
Steps arrived in good shape. Box was badly torn. No damage to steps. Took about 3/4 Hr. to install. They work great. Your staff is great to work with. If I need parts that you carry. you will get my order. Thanks again for the great service.
Steps arrived in good shape & waiting on RV shop to install them:
Will provide pictures when installed:
I received the wrong product but in one call I talked to Heidi M. and she was very nice in taking care of what I needed to make things right. I was very impressed on how they got my item to me quickly and will definitely order from them in the future.
More businesses should operate like this one.
Exactly what I ordered and in a timely fashion. Easy to do.
when I ordered the step I told the rep that i needed the motor/gear assy. also. Did not offer me that option. Only after I called Lippert did I find out that I could have ordered it with the step as a kit from etrailer. Cost me more $$ because I ordered each piece seperately
Karen did a fantastic job on helping me find the correct step. I first placed the order on line then called customer service and found out I ordered the wrong step. It came on time. I was some what upset that the step had scratches and some scrapes. I think this was one that was ordered then sent back. The staples on the carton weren't secure. All the seams were taped over. Some of the scratches were visible after the install. The step fit just perfect.
