Manufacturer

Kwikee Products Co

<h3>Kwikee Products Co: Over 50 Years of RV Entry Innovation</h3><p>Few names carry as much weight in the recreational vehicle world as <strong>Kwikee Products Co</strong>. <a href="/7419-kwikee-products-co">Kwikee</a> has been a leading manufacturer of electric step assemblies for RVs and motorhomes since 1972, when founder Keith Huber recognized a simple but pressing problem: the manual steel steps on most RVs of the era were heavy, cumbersome, and prone to damage. His solution — an electric step built from aircraft-quality aluminum — transformed how RV owners enter and exit their rigs, and the brand has never looked back.</p><h3>A Brand Built on Engineering and Durability</h3><p>Manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana — the heart of the North American RV industry — every Kwikee step is the product of a vertically integrated production process, from prototype development and aluminum die casting through final assembly. The company holds ISO 9001 certification for its quality management system, and all steps are certified by the National Sanitation Foundation to meet RV step installation requirements. That attention to manufacturing discipline means the products that leave the factory are consistent, reliable, and built to last through years of daily use.</p><p>Today, Kwikee is a brand of <strong>Lippert Components</strong>, one of the most recognized suppliers of RV and marine hardware in North America. This relationship gives Kwikee access to world-class engineering resources while preserving the focused expertise that made the brand famous. Kwikee steps are original equipment on RVs built by Winnebago, Tiffin, Jayco, Forest River, Thor, Fleetwood, Heartland, Dutchmen, and dozens of other major manufacturers.</p><h3>The Kwikee Product Lineup</h3><p>Kwikee&apos;s electric step assemblies are available across three distinct product lines to meet a wide range of RV types and use cases. The <em>Kwikee Classic</em> line — a favorite among RVers for more than 40 years — is offered in single, double, and triple configurations. The <em>Kwikee Revolution</em> line features alloy construction that is roughly 30% lighter than comparable competing steps, without sacrificing load capacity. And the <em>Kwikee Platinum</em> line adds reinforcement plates and precision-engineered stiffeners between treads, with a testing record of more than 40,000 extension/retraction cycles. Every step across all lines is rated to handle 300 lbs. or more, uses air-pressed rivets in pivot points for long-term structural integrity, and features a reflective strip for added nighttime safety.</p><p>Beyond complete assemblies, Kwikee provides the full ecosystem of components RV owners need to keep their steps performing at their best. From <a href="/7419-kwikee-products-co-rv-step-rug-18310">RV step rugs and covers</a> that protect tread surfaces and help keep campsite dirt outside the coach, to <a href="/7419-kwikee-products-co-step-nerf-bar-1082">step nerf bar</a> solutions that provide sturdy entry-point support, Kwikee covers the full spectrum of RV entryway needs. Replacement motors, control modules, wiring harnesses, door switches, and repair kits are all available, making Kwikee a go-to source for both new installations and long-term maintenance.</p><h3>Why RVers Trust Kwikee</h3><p>The automatic extend-and-retract feature is at the heart of what makes Kwikee steps so beloved: the step deploys the moment the RV door is opened and tucks away cleanly when it closes, with a built-in ignition override that ensures the steps are always retracted before the vehicle moves. A hidden amber light improves visibility at the threshold after dark, and an anti-slip surface on every tread provides confident footing in wet or muddy conditions. For an RVing community that values both convenience and safety, these details add up to a product that genuinely improves every trip.</p>

Product Details

The Kwikee 379147 is an exact-match replacement motor designed for New IMGL (Integrated Motor Gearbox and Linkage) electric RV entry steps manufactured after October 2005. This 12V reversible motor keeps your automatic entry steps operating reliably, automatically extending when the coach door opens and retracting when the door closes.

Rated at 18NM of torque, this motor is built to handle the demands of triple and quad IMGL step configurations. Installation is straightforward — the motor gear aligns directly with the linkage arm gear, and all three mounting screws are included. No wiring harness is needed; the existing step wiring connects directly to the replacement motor.

Key Features:

  • Exact-match replacement for Kwikee IMGL electric step assemblies
  • 18NM torque rating for reliable step operation
  • Automatic obstacle detection — motor shuts down if the step strikes an object
  • Weatherproof wiring connectors to prevent shorts and corrosion
  • Compatible with single, double, triple, and quad IMGL step configurations
  • Includes motor and three mounting screws
  • Replaces legacy Kwikee motor part numbers 1101422 and 1101428
  • Supersedes older Lippert part number 366043
  • For IMGL steps manufactured after October 2005

This motor is also interchangeable with Kwikee internal part number 1101428. If the gearbox also requires replacement, pair this motor with the Kwikee Replacement Gear Box and Linkage (part #379160).

Autoplicity had the part I needed at a price half of the local autoparts store. Shipping is reasonable when multiple items are purchased, for one item the shipping charge seems high. Took them awhile to ship the order(3 full business days) which I think is too long, but they are the cheapest. Only other comment was I usedAmazon payments to pay and then got a coupl of emails from autoplicity asking me to complete my order, which I had already done.<br>Overall a pretty good experience and an excellent price.

Cheapest Bilstein shocks anywhere online!!

Overall quick shipping and nothing was missing or broken!<br>A little tricky install but fast with some help.<br>I like the fact that they have competitive pricing and there site is nice and secure.

Very competive prices, even with shipping costs. Looking forward to using Autoplicity again in the near future.

fine

Very quick. Liked that it linked to Amazon. I originally ordered from Amazon who shipped me a front bearing assembly instead of the rear so having to re-order from you. Correct item received this time. Thank you!

it was quick and easy

I ordered parts expecting my in stock items to be delivered promptly. Had a few issues there. The logistics need to be updated. I was contacted about the mistakes made and was justly compensated. I appreciate the second effort and will give them another try.

Thanks

Great prices and fast shipping!!!

Quick and to the point. No signing up for email newsletters and all that junk. Great shipping rates as well

Fast shipping and email answered fast. I'll shop again. Tahnks
