Thule Motor Shaft and Bushing V15

The Thule Motor Shaft and Bushing V15 is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the Thule Omnistep V15 electric step system. Used widely in motorhomes and campervans, this OEM part (Thule Part No. 1500603114) restores smooth, reliable operation to steps that have become noisy, sluggish, or completely stuck.

Constructed from high-quality, wear-resistant materials, the Thule motor shaft and bushing are engineered to withstand the mechanical stresses of frequent use. The motor shaft transmits torque from the step’s motor to the mechanism, while the bushing ensures low-friction rotation and protects the internal components from wear and misalignment. Over time, these parts can degrade—especially when exposed to outdoor elements like dirt, moisture, and road salt—making timely replacement essential for continued functionality.

Replacing the Thule motor shaft and bushing is a simple and cost-effective fix. Instead of replacing the entire motor or step unit, this small part can be fitted in less than 30 minutes using basic tools. It's a favourite among DIY motorhome enthusiasts looking to save time and money on repairs. The part is compatible with most Thule V15 single-step configurations and fits precisely, thanks to Thule’s exacting standards.

This genuine Thule replacement part is available from reputable motorhome parts suppliers and offers a direct fit with no modification required. It is highly rated by users for its ease of installation and long-lasting performance.
