I think my auto one step has finally had it, I've replaced the motor a couple of times over the year's and all has been well until the latest. Anyways, I have a Series 28 one step and I'd like to chan...

I don't know how much I can help you but you do need to know that Kwikee is no more. There have been at least two owners since they retired. I am not sure how much difference there is in the dimensions but I think the size is still the same.
IIRC they have stopped using the window lift motors of old and the new steps come with exposed gearing. The new owners as I remember are Lippert Components. There is a fact sheet that gives the dimensions and should be available on line. The mounting bolt pattern is different and the rise is about 4 inches more with the Series 32. The extension is about 9 inches more.
I'd measure the rise for both stored and extended to make sure you will have clearance. In the stored position the step from front to back is almost 2 inches greater.
I kind of like to see stuff so I cut out profiles and hold them up to judge the fit. Pretty easy to do and is a little more descriptive than a tape measure.
Good luck and have fun.
