If your Kwikee electric entry steps have a sluggish, noisy, or failed motor, this factory-engineered conversion kit gives you a complete, drop-in motor assembly replacement designed specifically for 'A' linkage gearbox configurations. It restores full automatic extend-and-retract operation on Kwikee single and double power steps across a wide range of compatible series -- without fabrication or custom wiring.
The Lippert 781005 is not just a motor swap -- it is a complete conversion kit that includes the IMGL motor assembly, a new control unit, door switch, clevis and cotter pin, 4-way pigtail fasteners, and all installation hardware. Everything needed to return your steps to proper working order arrives in one box, sourced from the original manufacturer of Kwikee step systems.
This kit is engineered for the 'A' linkage gearbox configuration found across a broad range of Kwikee step series. Weatherproof wiring and durable construction protect the assembly from road spray, mud, and temperature swings -- important for a component that operates every time you open the coach door.
Steps extend when your RV door opens and retract when it closes via the included control unit and door switch -- same as original factory behavior.
When the vehicle ignition is activated, the steps retract automatically to prevent road damage -- a critical safety feature for tow vehicles and motorhomes alike.
If the steps strike an obstacle during extension, the motor assembly automatically reverses to protect both the steps and whatever they contacted.
Includes IMGL motor assembly, control unit, clevis and cotter pin, 4-way pigtail fasteners, and door switch -- no separate trips to the hardware store.
This motor conversion kit is confirmed compatible with the following Kwikee step series using 'A' linkage gearbox configurations:
If you are unsure of your step series, check the label on the existing control unit or the step frame itself. The 'A' linkage designation refers to the gearbox arm geometry -- confirm your linkage type before ordering.
The IMGL motor assembly uses sealed, weatherproof wiring connections designed to hold up against the moisture, road grime, and vibration that RV entry steps face in daily use. The motor housing is built to withstand the repeated thermal cycling common to components mounted in exposed step bays.
The motor delivers 10.33 ft-lbs of torque -- enough to reliably extend and retract single or double step configurations under load, including steps that see heavy daily use in full-time RV applications.
