Magnetic switch kit built for HappiJac Coach Step systems, triggered by the opening and closing of your RV's entry door. Signals your coach steps to extend or retract when your door is opened or closed.
The Lippert 165041 is a replacement magnetic door switch kit for your HappiJac Coach Step® system. It mounts near the entry doorframe and senses when the door opens or closes, sending the trigger signal that tells your powered Coach Step to extend or retract.
This is a small, simple part, but it's an essential link in the chain — if the magnetic switch fails, your Coach Step won't respond automatically when the door opens or closes. It's an easy, low-cost fix for a step that's stopped triggering on its own.
Senses door position to automatically trigger your Coach Step
Built specifically for HappiJac Coach Step® systems
Compact, simple kit designed for a quick swap-in fix
Manufactured domestically and backed by a 1-year warranty
Per Lippert's official listing, the 165041 is a HappiJac Coach Step® door switch kit — a magnetic switch that detects entry door position to trigger the automatic extend/retract function on a powered Coach Step. It does not operate or motorize the entry door itself. If you're looking for a part that powers or motorizes the entry door itself, this is not that part — confirm your needed function with Lippert before ordering.
Confirm your RV uses a HappiJac Coach Step® powered step system before ordering — this switch is designed specifically for that system. California Prop 65 Notice: This product can expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
