I ordered this landing gear motor and gear box on a Monday. It was delivered on Wednesday at noon. From Missouri to Boynton, Virginia in just 2 days UPS ground. Unbelievable!! I installed gearbox and motor in 15 minutes and was able to get my camper back off my truck and enjoy the rest of our vacation. The new gear box is made of aluminum instead of plastic and actually fit better than the original one.Thank you so much Crystal S.

this crossed as a direct replacement for my old motor however it won't lift my trailer. it slows to a stop and doesn't even have enough power to lower the trailer with its full weight on it.

Working fine.

Received the new landing gears with motor and had to install a month later due to weather and the flu. It was a breeze to install with a minimum of hand tools. The staff at Etrailer did a great job of selecting the exact parts I needed and sending via expedited mail. Took a photo of old parts before removal as instructed by staff so I could put the new parts in correctly. The new parts were of high quality and exact match. They went in easily. Took about 2.5 hrs with a few breaks included. See photo of a happy camper with new landing gear and motor.

Quality parts and great service.
I used this motor & switch as an upgrade to my Atwood manual crank landing legs, and am impressed with the instructions, fit, and quality of the motor and switch.

The product and eTrailer are great. As an RV maintenance center, it's a pleasure to do business with you.

The tracking # shipment date was a week off! It was an easy install, but did not include a switch or wire nuts to attach wires. Motor works great.
by: Randy05/20/2020
I initially put a new gearbox on my jacks thinking that the electric motor should still be ok. Wrong. It must have gotten hot too. I contacted etrailer and discussed the problem and was told to get this motor. I did and once it was on it works great. William B. helped me with this and was great.

This is a great replacement motor and gearbox for my 1994 Lance 945 11'3" truck camper with Atwood jacks. The main problem with the Atwood jacks was that the ball screw shaft and ball screw nut were rusted, removed the jacks, removed the motors and gear boxes, removed the 2 pins and the helical cut gears themselves, ran the screw shaft out of the tubes. Cleaned the rust from the ball screw shafts and lubricated the shaft with waterproof grease.The only problem is that the balls in the ball screw nut are also rusted and will take some time to start to recirculate as these balls need to break free. The only thing that I had to do to the motors was remove the feet on the gearbox and also drill and tap a new 1/4 inch bolt hole.These motors have bolt spacing that is closer together. This $[xxx] fix isbetter than purchasing new jacks at $[xxxx]

Great
by: Ken04/22/2020
I was surprised at how small the motor actually is compared to the unit I removed from my trailer. I also purchased landing gear because that is what initially failed on my 5th wheel. I realized that my motor would not adapt to the new landing gear so I ended up having to purchase this motor. The set up seems to work OK but I haven't used it much yet. The fasteners that came with the motor were to long and I had to grind them down to shorten them. There was a big gap in the plastic gear reduction cover. That closed up when I tightened the unit to the landing gear. Easy to install. Just remember you get what you pay for, quality normally reflects purchase price. For what I paid I did not have high expectations. etrailer was easy to work with and I will definitely buy from them again.
by: Enos05/29/2021
Service and delivery was very good. Received item in great shape as described. The only concern I have it looks like I didn’t order a strong enough motor, it seems to struggle even though it’s rated for 5500 lbs. I should have done a little more research.

Thank you for the review! Something you might want to check on is the RPMs. This motor is rated for 5,500 RPMs which is good, but if your old motor was rated higher it would explain why this one feels like its struggling.
by: Pat 07/28/2023
Fast shipping and well made!
by: Susan10/13/2022
It works if you take your time and operate it slowly. It is not really strong enough to lift the trailer easily.
by: Jason 09/10/2022
Received 2 days ago. Installed in 10 minutes, and perfect fit into existing landing gear. It is a little louder than the original motor, and haven't fully tested it more than 10 minutes. Will update review if I have any issues during first few months.

The motor fit into the same place the old motor was in on a Cougar 5th Wheel. The polarity of the wires were reverse from the original unit supplied with the Cougar. Speed is a bit slower compared to the original.
It works fine and does the job. Better than hand cranking!

Parts arrived sooner than I was told they would. Coupled to gear reducer box and fit perfect the first time. Service and knowledge provided by Rennie was excellent. Price was better than I found anywhere else ... especially with the free shipping! Will do business with them again when I need parts.

The specific OEM replacement legs for the Keystone Montana's are Follow Leg # LC178652 and the Lead Leg # LC178653. Because of their unique designs they will be the only ones that fit the Montana.

You are also correct that the gearbox compatible with this motor is the Replacement Aluminum Gearbox for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear, part # LG-179015. Good work on finding the correct parts for your motor. This will definitely work for you. I've linked to a video review that includes both of these parts.

I would recommend upgrading your entire jack to the Lippert Smart Jack Electric Trailer Jack # LC643589. This will ensure you get all new components in the event your current jack has excessive wear and that is what caused your current motor to fail. The smart jack allows you to program a hitch height for the jack making it easier to raise your...

- 5th Wheel Landing Gear is Clicking But Hand Crank WorksSince you can use the hand crank to use the landing gear, we know it isn't a problem with the legs, which means it is either the gear box or motor. What you can do is disconnect the motor from the gear box and power it on to see if there are any issues. If not, then it is highly likely it is just the gear box, which you can replace: - Replacement Aluminum Gearbox # LG-179015 Otherwise, if it is the motor you will need to replace that with the Replacement Motor for Stromberg Carlson Electric...
view full answer... - Landing Gear Extends But Does Not RetractIt could actually be the motor or the switch that is causing your landing gear legs to extend but not retract. In order to test this you will want to find the wire that goes from the retract terminal on the switch to the motor. If you test this wire for power with a circuit tester that will give you your answer. If you get power on this wire while the retract position of the switch is engaged then you know the motor is bad and will need to be replaced for which we have the Replacement Motor...

Take a good close look at the wiring, especially at pinch points and areas where the wiring might pass through a frame member or bulkhead. Cracks or worn spots in the wire insulation can allow the copper conductor to short out on the trailer frame and cause the fuse to blow. Also, disconnect the motor and try the landing gear manually. If it works manually, there's a wiring problem somewhere. If it won't, there's a mechanical problem...

It includes replacement gears and pins needed to repair the leg. The kit is compatible with a # LG-1 or LG-183708 landing gear, and it does not include a replacement motor. If you have a # LG-1 or a # LG-183708 landing gear, and you need a replacement motor, that part number would be # LG-142178.
view full answer... - What is Needed to Replace the Gearbox of an Atwood 75721I have a solution for you. First, though, to replace the gearbox for your Atwood 75721, you'll need to replace the motor along with the gearbox since there aren't any gearboxes made for that motor any longer. As you mentioned, due to the age of both of these components, it's probably a good idea anyway. For the motor, you can use the Replacement Motor for Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear, part # LG-142178. For the gearbox, you can use the Replacement Gearbox for Venture Aluminum...

Based on the information I can find, it looks like the Replacement Motor for Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear - 5,500 lbs # LG-142178 is what you need because Stromberg Carlson Landing gear was used on Jayco trailers around that 2007 year of manufacturing.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Clicking Landing Gear on RV After New Landing Gear MotorThe load clicking is most likely an insufficient ground for the landing gear motor or that the amperage draw for the landing gear is greater than what the power source can handle. Or it is that you are overloading the weight capacity of the landing gear. Most likely it's just a bad ground though.
view full answer... - Replacement 5th Wheel Trailer Landing GearYour part 125340 refers to a Stromberg Carlson landing gear kit. In case you want to service this unit we do offer the replacement motor # LG-142178 and replacement gear box # LG-179015. For an upgrade I suggest the dual-motor 12K-rated Ultra-Fab kit # UF17-943010 or the similar 8K-rated Reese # RP500708. Both provide 36-inches or more of lift. A highly-rated dual-motor system will work with less strain and should provide trouble-free service for a long time.

Otherwise, these are the exact same motor so definitely go with the least expensive one.

With that being said, the Heavy Duty 6500-pound rated Tuson Landing Gear Motor # LC196308 should get you up and running better. The motors for these are pretty universal and I have confirmed this will replace your current motor a few times, so I can definitely recommend it as a good replacement.

I would suggest checking the ground connections. Sometimes that is the cause of slow moving landing gear motors. Another possibility is the battery power is low, and third is that maybe the jack screws and pinion gear need lubrication. If there are no odd sounds coming from the motor, then it is likely one of the first two issues.
