Industry insiders will not state, but the feeling is, since LCI Steps are JUNK, they purchased Kwikee to have just Kwikee and will drop the SCS/LCI/Coach step brand and models. SCS/Coach Steps were NOT junk until LCI purchased them and changed the way they are produced. We have replaced at least 20 LCI steps complete in the past 2 years from the failure of the large pivot bolt that is now welded to the top mount nut. Since it is welded and that large pivot bolt then breaks off you cannot fix the step---you have to replace it. Doug
