Enteance step

Does anyone know who makes the step on a 2005 U320?  I contacted both FOT and MOT weeks ago for a quote and a timetable to replace and so far nothing.  Has anyone replaced theirs with a two step unit?

Step conversion Xtreme. On our 2003 U320, done by previous owners via Extreme.  Love this step.

Was going to call Xtreme Monday after I found it online today. Didn't know if it fit U320.  Looked like a Phenix on the website.

Steve, we have the two step Kwikee electric step installed by Xtreme.  Very nice.  Fit well in our 2001 U320.

The series 42 is a two step unit not a single step.

This is the one Xtreme said is the one I needed for mine when I called a couple years ago. I was given the number to search it out.

How close does the two step unit, when extended, come to a curb?

How high is the curb? How close are you parked to curb? Mine has never hit a curb when pulled over on a street with a curb when at ride height Not an issue of course in a camp ground

I didn't hit the curb.  I was driving on Betlway 8 toll road at Hwy 290. The door switch had failed. So when I went thru the easy tag lane, the step clipped the plastic posts. I normally wouldn't have been that close, but I couldn't move over due to another vehicle. It was so loud I though I clipped posts with front of coach.  Couldn't figure that out, because I knew I was further away.  Posts must have just clipped the end of step.

None of the POs have told me WHY our fold-downs were removed, but they're gone. I took - out mine in the AS  when backing into a tight spot and did not realize the door was open enough to let the steps down. A low stump I could not see in my mirrors!  :facepalm:

I have encountered high curbs that the Kwikee step would hit if the coach is parked too close.  The step stops extending if it meets resistance.  The forward edge might be scratched but the step would be fine.

Might be a good spot for application of a few inconspicuous rubber bumpers?  On the step...not on the curb.  8)

Wish I could put the Executive Step by Braun, but apparently it will not fit.
