When your Kwikee electric steps stop retracting or extending reliably, a worn-out gearbox and motor assembly is often the culprit. The Lippert 366047 is the correct OEM-spec replacement unit for Link Assembly C configurations -- covering triple and quad step setups found on a wide range of RVs and travel trailers. Swap it in and restore full automatic step operation without replacing the entire step unit.
Kwikee electric steps are one of the most common entry step systems on the market, and Link Assembly C is the configuration used on larger, heavier step stacks -- specifically triple and quad step units. These steps endure significant mechanical stress every time they cycle, and the gearbox and motor are the components that take the brunt of that load.
The Lippert 366047 is also sold and referenced as AM Equipment part number 110-1024, so if you have documentation referencing either number, this is the correct unit. The high torque motor paired with the 5:1 gear reduction gives these steps the mechanical advantage needed to move multiple treads reliably, even when loaded with mud, ice, or general road grime.
Multiplies motor torque to drive heavy triple and quad step assemblies smoothly and reliably through full extension and retraction cycles.
Rated at 18 Nm, the motor delivers the power needed to keep steps operating correctly even under load or in cold-weather conditions.
Engineered specifically for Kwikee Link Assembly C geometry. Direct bolt-on replacement with no modification required when replacing a same-spec unit.
Designed for the mechanical demands of three- and four-step configurations, which require more torque than single or double step assemblies.
Kwikee electric steps are built around distinct link assembly configurations -- A, B, C, and so on -- that define the mechanical geometry, tread count, and mounting arrangement of the step unit. Link Assembly C corresponds to the larger, multi-tread configurations common on Class A motorhomes, fifth wheels, and larger travel trailers where the entry is higher off the ground and multiple steps are required.
Using the wrong gearbox for your link assembly will result in incorrect torque delivery, potential mechanical binding, and premature failure. Always confirm your existing unit is a Link Assembly C before ordering.
Replacement of the gearbox and motor assembly on Kwikee Link Assembly C steps is a moderate DIY task. The assembly mounts to the step frame and connects to the step's link arms and wiring harness. Disconnect the step from 12V power before beginning work. The assembly weighs 20 lbs, so having a second person assist with positioning is recommended during installation.
