Keep your Kodiak electric entry steps working reliably with this direct-replacement DC gear motor from AM Equipment. Part number 210-1011 (vendor PN 2101011) installs in the right-hand housing position and ships without a pinion gear, letting you reuse your existing pinion or select the sprocket or gear that matches your specific step assembly. The 12V reversible motor provides the torque and speed your step mechanism needs for consistent, repeatable deployment and retraction.
Electric entry steps are one of the most frequently cycled components on any RV. When the motor fails -- often showing up as a slow, grinding, or non-responsive step -- replacing just the motor is far more economical than replacing the entire step assembly. The AM Equipment 210-1011 is built specifically for this job: a compact, purpose-built DC gear motor matched to the torque and shaft spec that Kodiak step systems require.
The right-hand (RH) housing designation refers to the motor's mounting orientation within the step gearbox. Confirm your failed motor's housing side before ordering -- the left-hand counterpart is a separate part number. Because this unit ships without a pinion, it is well suited for situations where the pinion is undamaged and can be transferred from the old motor, or where you are selecting a specific gear ratio sprocket for a custom repair.
Sufficient torque to drive typical multi-step Kodiak entry step linkages even under load, including steps with accumulated dirt or minor binding.
Runs on standard 12V DC house or chassis power. Reversible polarity allows the step controller to drive extension and retraction with the same motor.
The double-flat keying ensures positive, slip-free engagement with sprockets and gears -- no set-screw loosening over thousands of cycles.
Shaft design accepts a range of sprockets or spur gears, giving technicians flexibility when rebuilding step assemblies with mixed or worn components.
Many gear motor replacements are sold as complete assemblies with the pinion pre-installed. The 210-1011 is intentionally supplied without a pinion for two common repair scenarios:
If you need the motor with a pinion pre-installed, verify availability of the companion part number in the AM Equipment 210 AME Series line before ordering this variant.
Replacing the step motor is typically a straightforward task for an RV owner comfortable with basic hand tools:
