Entry Step
I've done a little looking around on line and there are replacement
steps made buy KwiKee and I am thinking about going that route. The
entire step really needs replaced and this would seem to me to be an
easier way to do it. They are 12 volt operated and they come with
everything needed. On the other hand what do I know??? But I will be
learnin'

know. Brad Barton 00LXiDFW bbartonwx@...

don't have much of anything under that step. No mechanism or
valves.It appears that most parts are missing so my question is more
basic. I have what is an obvious switch on the inside door jam and
the steps them selves but I basically am going to have to start over
getting the air and electral components. Looks like a job for the
professionals. I just was wondering if this is all BB stuff or if
other coaches have similar? Don't think I am up to all that is
involved with this one. John Heckmancentral Pa 1973 FC>> John,> The
