The exact-fit replacement gearbox for Kwikee 26 series electric steps built from 2006 to present. The enclosed zinc-plated steel housing protects internal components from road grime and moisture, while the curved linkage assembly delivers reliable extend-and-retract motion every time you open the door.
When your Kwikee electric steps grind, stall, or fail to fully extend, the C linkage gearbox is one of the first components to inspect. This is the OEM-style replacement unit for the 26 series platform -- the most common Kwikee step found on travel trailers and fifth wheels built after 2006.
Lippert part 379162 ships with everything needed for a direct bolt-on swap: the fully assembled C linkage gearbox plus two installation washers. No fabrication or custom hardware required. Cross-references to Kwikee 1101427 and AM Equipment 110-1031, so it is easy to confirm you have the right part before you start wrenching.
Fully sealed to block road debris, moisture, and corrosion from reaching the internal gear set -- extending service life even in harsh driving conditions.
The curved linkage geometry is specific to the 26 series step platform and provides the correct arc of motion to smoothly extend and retract all step treads.
Heavy-duty steel throughout with a corrosion-resistant zinc plating -- critical for a component exposed to the undercarriage environment year-round.
Matches OEM mounting points on 26 series steps. Includes two washers for installation so you can complete the swap without a hardware store run.
This gearbox is engineered specifically for the Kwikee 26 series electric step, which Lippert has supplied to a wide range of RV manufacturers since 2006. If your coach has Kwikee electric steps and the step assembly tag or step linkage is stamped with a "26" series designation, this is your gearbox.
