Lippert / Kwikee 26 Series Electric Steps Made in USA Lippert 379162 Kwikee "C" Linkage Gearbox for Electric Steps

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.

Stop Fighting a Worn-Out Step Gearbox

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.

Enclosed Gearbox Housing

Fully sealed to block road debris, moisture, and corrosion from reaching the internal gear set -- extending service life even in harsh driving conditions.

Curved C Linkage Design

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.

Zinc-Plated Steel Construction

Heavy-duty steel throughout with a corrosion-resistant zinc plating -- critical for a component exposed to the undercarriage environment year-round.

Direct Bolt-On Replacement

Matches OEM mounting points on 26 series steps. Includes two washers for installation so you can complete the swap without a hardware store run.

Fitment: 26 Series Kwikee Electric Steps

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.

  • 1x Kwikee "C" Linkage Gearbox (fully assembled)

Note: This listing does not include the step motor, step treads, wiring harness, or mounting hardware beyond the two included washers. Verify your step series number before ordering -- the C linkage gearbox is not interchangeable with straight-linkage gearbox versions used on other Kwikee series.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect 12V power to the step motor before beginning any disassembly.
  • Photograph the existing linkage orientation before removal to simplify reassembly.
  • Clean the mounting area and inspect the step motor shaft for wear while the gearbox is off.
  • Torque all fasteners evenly and cycle the steps manually by hand before restoring power to confirm correct linkage alignment.

Important Information
  • Designed exclusively for Kwikee 26 series electric steps (2006 to current) -- do not use on earlier series or straight-linkage step assemblies.
  • Disconnect all 12V power to the step motor before removal or installation to prevent injury and motor damage.
  • This part does not include the step motor, wiring, step treads, or additional mounting hardware.
  • Confirm your step series number on the existing step assembly before ordering -- C linkage and straight linkage gearboxes are not interchangeable.
  • Inspect the motor output shaft for wear or stripping during gearbox replacement; a worn shaft will damage the new gearbox prematurely.
