Ours refused to open after an overnight stop. By the time we were at our lunch stop some 2 hours later, they were working again. Who knows what gremlins get into all these moving parts that make up a motorhome.<br /><br />By the way, be careful with that step stool ... the center piece cracks if you put too much pressure on it.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102058896344606993.post-72492266343406941312014-02-06T10:37:05.268-06:002014-02-06T10:37:05.268-06:00Well, I see that you have now entered the world of...Well, I see that you have now entered the world of "steps work sometimes, sometimes not". We have suffered with this same problem for about 2 years now. I usually try them the night before we are due to move on and they work perfectly. The next morning, not working.<br />Richard I have no idea either what is causing the problem. I have found that by using a lubricant on all of the moving parts and spraying it directly onto the large gear at the motor, then gently tapping the motor with the wooden part of a hammer, that the step will work again.<br />I'm quite sure that one day this will not work for me and I'll be stuck. I guess, then, that I'll have to mechanically disconnect the steps and tie them in before finally getting them fixed.<br />If you ever find out what is causing the step problem please let me know.Steve and Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/06756346672179586954noreply@blogger.com
