Replaces the electric steps, motor, and control unit for your Kwikee Platinum series RV step. Motor and control unit automatically extend and retract the steps when you open and close the door. Wiring pigtail hardwires to your RV's power.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This step assembly includes the steps, motor, and control unit only. The steps will operate automatically, extending when the RV door opens and retracting when the door closes.
If you want the complete step assembly that also allows you to override the automatic retraction so the steps stay out whether the door is open or closed, you will need a switch kit (sold separately).
The 4-way plug (sold separately) 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 can 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 25-3/4" 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.

Thank you

I had the same steps but at 7 years they started failing and banging no matter how much they were cleaned and lubed. The new ones were exact plug and play wiring wise. Very hard to get the 2 outside bolts tightened but it’s all back to normal now.
Much heavier than the old Kwikee step. Seems to also be more sturdy.
I’ve had my new step for a year now with no issues! Great product, an exact replacement for my damaged one. As always etrailer answered all my questions, delivered quickly at a great price!

It’s been another year with no issues! Great product!
I received courteous assistance to order the correct replacement steps from etrailer for my motorhome. My husband and nephew installed them and they have worked great over the past year. I will not hesitate to use etrailer again.
It is a good step but it is about 3 to 4 inches lower and when my motor home is at its lowest level it hits the ground until the air ride lifts the coach. It was the only heavy duty step that you had.
This step fit absolutely perfect and operated absolutely perfect, everyone of the trailer was a great help and I get all my trailer accessories from the trailer!
Not bad for replacement steps. Not nearly as sturdy as the original ones but instillation was fairly easy and they work great!
Always quick shipping, always have what I need. Exact replacement of the one I destroyed due to my own stupidity. 15 minute install at the most
It was delivered in 3 days promptly. Fit perfectly. 4 bolts and 2 wires. Works like new. Took 20 minutes to install. Thank You
Steps were easy to install, and work perfectly. It’s been about a year now and they work just as good as day one!
Just got the steps. They look perfect for my unit . As promissed
