    I have a 2006 40ft American Tradition. The steps was working and then stop any ideas of what could be the problem? Replaced the switch under coach that's next to motor.

    Decals on the back of coach are lefting and peeling off does anybody know where I can order new decals?

    A couple basic things to check:

    If not opening spray all pivot joints with WD49 to clear any dirt.

    If not closing, the small magnetic contact on the screen door may be out of alignment, as well as the dirt issue.

    You didn't say if you hear the motor trying to run or not, if yes, then it may be a stripped gear. if not, check the ground wire as it is a common point of failure.

    We don't hear anything. We tried the magnets and that does seem to be it. I have to go under the coach and check the ground wire. We appreciate your help on this.

    THANK YOU! This is amazing info! 

    I am having the SAME problem with my 2006 Pace Arrow 36-D. I am going to go check these helpful tips you all have said here and report back!
