I’ve replaced the step motor twice now on our 2012 Georgetown. It has LCI steps.
Replaced it first time a few years ago. Replaced it second time just last week.
I’m finding, that electric motors outside, exposed to the elements on these RVs, don’t have a very long life. Step motor replaced twice, awning motor been replaced once, and now motor that runs leveling jacks has quit (just got replacement motor for it the other day, haven’t put it in yet).
Bottom line, if you gonna own a Motorhome, you better be able to make at least some repairs like this yourself, or have very deep pockets.
