Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We have a single step Kwikee Electric Step. It started to act up by not retracting so I ordered a brand new complete kit with motro, gear box, controller. I changed it and boy was it giving greif. It was working backwards from the way it should. Open door and it would retract......Close door and it would come out. Played around troubleshooting this thing for quite a while. Well found out that the old magnetic door switch is a "Normally Open" contact and the new unit comes with a "Normally Closed" contact. So I changed the door contact and now it works great. Sure is a lot quieter too. The new unit is supposed to be an upgraded one with a better controller and better gear box. I just don't know why they'd change the door contact configuration. There was nothing wrong with the contactor so was just going to leave it be........But not the case.
Anyway thought give people a heads up if run into doing a similar upgrade.
