Lubricating Electric Steps November 25, 2011, 11:20:47 am Yahoo Message Number: 126882In the tech section of the Jan. MotorHome magazine, I read that lubricating the electric steps should be done with spray-on white grease - lithium grease, I presume. Any opinions on this advice?Chris

Any opinions on this advice?Chris Chris Kwikee, the step manufacturer, recommends their own product called "Kwik Lube" and advertised as 'Grease Gun in a Can'. And, it's not white, nor is it lithium. On the can it says; "Changes from a penetrating fluid to a tough penetrating grease in minutes".That's what I've been using on my Kwikee step for the past 6 years.Look in Camping World, et. al.Steve S.

Re: Lubricating Electric Steps Reply #2 – November 25, 2011, 01:52:09 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126884After 12 years without any attention, my Kwikee step began to groan when retracted. I found the instructions on line (instructions for steps! Who knew?), crawled underneath, and squirted a little very light oil on the "bearings". Fixed! Two years and counting... It doesn't seem to be critical, being steel and low speed movement, at least for a step that's ahead of the rear wheels and stays relatively clean.Eric
