I've had only three coaches, an 84 FC with an air-step, an 86 Newell with an elec-step and this LXi..and all three had step issues. I think Prevost is onto something.

I have a theory about cold weather step ops. Maybe good, maybe bad. The air control valve has two adjustable exhaust ports that are exposed to dirt, snow and rain and if moisture is present in winter it will freeze the exhaust ports and not allow air to escape, hence the step will not operate. As well, if any moisture is present in the actuator it will not work correctly. Just my theory, because if it works in summer what else could it be. Bluebird disease!

My step will retract in cold weather- but the air leaking from somewhere depletes my air
