I'm thinking of going to manual steps.
My new 1997 Allegro Bus has Kwikee steps but the door switch is broken (it pops off at inconvenient times) and I'm considering going to a manual step as our rig doesn't really sit that high and I fear malfunction at the wrong time like while filling up or any other situation where you don't want to be "stuck" dealing with it. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE STEP OFF IN THE RETRACTED POSITION. YOU CAN ONLY TURN IT OFF EXTENDED. I'VE TRIED AND TRIED.
It had been fine all summer while we were parked plugged in in the yard but when I went out to store the levelers the other day the force knocked the switch piece off of the screen door. I'm lucky I found it laying on the grass or I never would have figured out why my steps wouldn't retract. I now have it secured with good ole duct tape but this is something I don't want to deal with on the road.
Has anyone else gone back to manual or should I just replace the switch? I won't be doing any work on it until spring but I'm taking it in for service at the dealer on Tuesday so I can spend my time waiting looking at prices, options, etc.
