I have decided to replace my entry steps for a variety of reasons. I could replace with manual, as I currently have, but think it would be best to upgrade to electric/automatic steps.

I am seeking advice on 2 separate issues:

1. Is there a preference of Manufacturer for electric steps??? I have been looking-at KWIKEE, as the top plate is a "full" top plate with several mounting holes drilled in it already -or- plenty of space to drill your own configuration of mounting holes, as my configuration is not "standard". KWIKEE also seems to be found on a number of the top-of-the-line coaches.

2. Since I currently have manual steps, I would have to wire DC to the steps themselves [that can't be too hard], but would also have to wire a control switch somewhere near the door on the inside [this may prove to be a bit trickier].

Any and all information would be helpful.

Has anyone added electric steps themselves???

Should I be looking to have this job done at a shop???

Most of the wiring schemes include a hot 12V connection and a wire to the ignition, as well as a warning light on the dash if the step's not retracted.

Wiring one's not difficult, just tedious. Kwikee steps are fairly robust as compared to others.
