Has anyone installed kwikee electric triple steps in a 2005 Winnie sightseer 30B?

HI all,
I've been trying to install Kwikee (series 25) triple steps for several weeks now with no luck. I removed the Kwikee double steps thinking that the triples would be a direct replacement. Turns out that that isn't so. It seems that since the "Lipp" took over they've changed the motor mount bracket so that the motor and the bracket jut out from the rear of the top step mount enough to interfere with placement and also misaligns the mounting bolt holes; ergo, no bolt up possible (the mounting bolts are welded in). The mounting area is just large enough to accommodate the top, main mounting plate with no wiggle room. I've tried several different bracketed motors and still no joy. Had to return them all - - - my gratitude to Amazon Prime!
I guess my question is, does anyone have triple steps on their 2005 Sightseer 30B or has anyone out there successfully installed a set on their 30Bs?
Incidently, the new steps, inclusive of components might be up for sale soon.
Thanks for any help that any of you might offer.
Stay Safe,
Fred

I have another question. What size tires do you have? I ask because the triple step is usually employed on 22.5 and up diameter wheels, due to their higher clearance. We have 19.5 wheels on ours, and a third step, would smash right into every curb when we opened it…
Q. Are you sure they will even work (clear) when you install them? IDK, just asking…
