Speaker 1: Today, you're gonna be taking a look at the Lippert Component's Kwikee 25 series of triple electric steps.Having electric steps on your RV is a really nice thing. Whenever we need to get in, we can open the door and our steps should come out. But then at the same time, whenever we close the door, they should retract. As you can see, ours are having a little bit of an issue. They keep binding up on us, and it's a really intermittent operation.Our new Kwikee 25 series steps are gonna make it a lot easier for us to get in and out of our motor home, because they're gonna operate whenever we open the door, our steps will extend down. And then whenever we close the door, they'll retract back in.
And you see they're gonna have that nice, smooth operation.And the way they're gonna work is they're gonna have a two-part switch. One is gonna be on the outside of the door right here, which is gonna have a magnet that'll signal the inside switch. And the inside switch is gonna be mounted on the inside of the door jamb, and it'll find that signal and let the steps know whether to retract or extend out.Now our steps are also gonna have a manual switch, so we can turn the steps off. If we like to keep them out all the time, so we don't have to worry about them going back in when we close the door. Now our motor home already had a switch built in, so we didn't wire it up, but if we turn the switch off, it'll cut the power off to our steps.
And then when we close the door, the steps will stay extended out.Our steps are gonna have a lot of built-in safety features, so in case we forget to turn that switch back on and when we close the door to drive away in our motor home, the steps are gonna automatically retract as soon as we put the key into the on position.Now also as another added safety feature, our steps are gonna extend the first time that we open the door after the key is in the on position. That way, we don't have to worry about falling out of the door. And sometimes whenever we're parked close to a curb and we go to open our door, our steps may come in contact with that curb. Luckily though, there's gonna be a control unit on the motor, which is gonna prevent any kind of overheating and too much amperage draw and it'll actually cut power, so once there's enough pressure on the steps, it's gonna stop extending them or retracting them. But keep in mind, if you do open the door and you're really close to the steps, hitting your leg is not gonna be enough pressure, so you still wanna be mindful whenever they're retracting or extending.Our steps are even gonna have a built-in light.
It's gonna be an amber light underneath, so even in those low light situations, it is gonna illuminate that first step, so we can have confidence whether we're entering or exiting our motor home.Our steps themselves are gonna have this textured material, so we're gonna have lots of traction. Make sure we're not gonna slip, even when the steps are wet. On top of that, they're gonna have this reflective coating on each step, so again in low light situations or anything like that, it's gonna be very visible, so you know exactly where we're stepping.Now our steps are gonna be made out of steel, and they'll have a black powder coat finish on them, so they are gonna resist rust and corrosion, and they're gonna hold up to all the elements, including all the road debris that's gonna be coming up from underneath.Now the steps themselves are gonna be 24 inches wide, by 11 inches deep, so we'll have plenty of room to make sure we have a secure footing. In between each step is gonna be a seven-inch drop or rise. That way it's gonna be a natural step whenever we're getting in.Now as far as the mounting dimensions, our step height is gonna be 19.5 inches and that's gonna be from the very top of our mounting bracket to the very bottom of our lowest step.
Now our mounting bracket dimensions, meaning whenever the steps are fully collapsed and what needs to fit into the hole here, is gonna be 25.5 inches wide, all the way from one side to the other, and it's gonna be 9 and 5/8th inches tall, and it's gonna be 11 and 3/8th inches deep. So keep those measurements in mind whenever you're looking for steps to fit the height, as well as the width and depth to fit your RV.Our steps are gonna have a 300 pound weight capacity, so we know they're gonna be really strong and durable. Our Kwikee 25 series steps are gonna come in a few different configurations. They're all gonna give you three-step platform and have the same dimensions,
