When visiting the New Orleans French Quarter in our Hurricane 34e we parked our coach on Elysian Fields Avenue right in front of Washington Square. That's when I noticed that my Kwikee step bashed right into the curb for the first time and stopped.

The manual says that the motor will sense the overload and stop. That's kinda what happened. It just stopped.
