MOCW RV Gear Box Linkage for Kwikee Electric Steps - Reliable

In this review the MOCW RV Gear Box Linkage is evaluated as a direct replacement for Kwikee and Lippert step motors. It is aimed at RV owners who need a dependable, weatherproof gearbox to restore automatic step retraction and extension. The single biggest reason to buy is straightforward: it matches common OE part numbers and fits a wide range of step series, making it a practical repair part for those who want a near drop-in replacement without rebuilding the entire motor assembly.

Key Features

• Compatible models: Fits step series 22, 23, 28A, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38 and 40 so it covers most common Kwikee step installations.
• OE fitment: Replaces motor assembly numbers 366043, 1101428, 676061, 2141001 and 379147, helping owners match the part quickly for repairs.
• Built for outdoor use: Heavy-duty steel construction with corrosion-resistant zinc plating keeps the gearbox durable against the elements.
• Enclosed gearbox: The sealed design prevents weather damage to internal components for longer service life in exterior installations.
• Improved linkage shape: An upgraded, more curved linkage provides better clearance and transmission space compared with older linkages.
• 12V motor torque: The kit is specified for 12V operation with about 13 Nm torque, restoring automatic retract and extend functions when the coach door is opened and closed.

Who It's For

This part is suited to RV owners and DIY mechanics who already know their steps model or OE number and need a direct replacement gearbox and linkage. It is useful for repairing Kwikee power steps on travel trailers and motorhomes where the motor assembly numbers listed match, and the goal is to restore quiet, reliable operation without replacing the entire step unit.

It is not the best choice for someone who has a step system outside the listed series or cannot confirm the OE number, nor for buyers seeking a complete step motor assembly when additional worn components may also need replacement. Confirming part numbers before purchase avoids fitment surprises.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit replacement for many Kwikee and Lippert part numbers, making repairs straightforward.
• Durable, zinc-plated steel construction stands up to outdoor use and reduces corrosion worries.

• Upgraded linkage shape improves clearance and transmission space for smoother movement.

Cons

• Requires careful OE number confirmation before purchase to ensure compatibility with the specific step model.
• May not address other worn parts in an older motor assembly, so some repairs could require additional components.
