Motor fron Kwikee..... Very very expensive
IDENTICAL MOTOR from Ford or Chevy (Depending on the model of steps) MUCH CHEAPER.. Even cheaper from Auto Zone/Discount auto ET-Al
Might even find one at All Electronics or some other surplus place
It is a window riser motor.. Different model steps.. Different windows.
My project last campsite was replacing the steps themselves, old ones bent and jaming, (motor worked fine) got that done, worked fine till I stopped for water at Pilot on the way here where I am now... NO operation
Initial indication is no power to unit but Will actually TEST later today..(Light did not come on with door open)
Oh the joy.. Thi8s is a repair year for the RV
New (Used) engine
New tires
New steps
New mirror glass
Re-caulk roof
Re-do half bath
Fix slide out ( Current major issue)
Fix Dash air (Also current major issue)
Some I do, Some I hire depends on my level of knowledge High) Need for "Flexibility" (Joints in body, mine is low) and Tool Box.
THe steps I did Hardest part was holding the steps up against the bottomn of the RV while I put nuts on the bolts.. I had my friend Jack to that for me. He don'e mind that kind of work.. (His full name is Harbor Freight 12 ton Air/Hydraulic Bottle Jack.. He lifts and holds real good).
