I soon got tired of cranking the front legs of my 5th wheel camper by hand. Could not find anything at several camper dealers so I went online and found etrailer. There I found a 12 volt electric motor that would just bolt onto my existing lift mechanism. It fit perfectly without altering anything on my lift. I mounted the switch on the outside and hooked up the two wires to the battery that was right there and it was done. Works great. Wish I had found about this years ago and wondering why camper manufacturers don't install these at the factory since the cost so little. Thanks etrailer.

The directions for the switch were easy to understand. The switch worked fine and was a great improvement. Delivery was fast as always and the salespeople are extremely helpful! I will purchase again from etrailer as they are top notch people to deal with.

After 1 year it still works great!

Can't really rate the product as it wouldn't fit my Arctic Fox 27-5L trailer when the description said it fits most 5th wheel trailers. Motor is about half the weight of my factory motor so don't think it would hold up if it did fit. Wiring with switch looked good though. I wanted to keep the switch assembly but have to return it with the motor. I evidently have an RBW motor of some flavor according to the mfg who doesn't use it anymore. I may wind up replacing the whole landing gear assembly and motor. I'll be looking for a heavier duty unit than this SC unit though.

Product worked very well and did what I had expected for a small motor. Installation was very simple to figure out according to directions. Very impressed with motor- days of hand cranking are over. Very pleased with product and would do business again with etrailer. Customer service was excellent. Rep was well informed of products and even suggested one similar to the one we called about that saved us money! She was very patient answering all our questions. Very happy with your customer service!

Motor and switch kit arrived today! Installed the motor and switch kit, wired the switch in (aside from needing connectors for the wire ends) all exceeded my expectations. This was a nice upgrade for my 2006 Vanguard Frontier 5th wheel. Whoot whoot, I now have power landing legs! :-)
by: Macon A Longshot10/25/2013
I installed this wiring and motor kit on my 2013 Puma 5th wheel with a Lippert landing leg system. The motor bolted on the gear box perfectly and the wiring harness was easy to install. Took me about hour. This sure beats using an electric drill. Now everything looks Factory..
by: Richard W.04/27/2015
It is a pleasure to receive my order in one full day after order. Part is identical design to the old. Motor appears to be slightly shorter than old? Not installed yet due to composite gear box has crack and just ordered it from you. Let you know after receipt and install.

- Troubleshooting Loss Of Power When Retracting An RV Awning If you're losing power throughout the trailer then you likely have blown circuit breakers/fuses and would need to check each one with a multimeter # PT89ZR to see if they're powered. On the fuses you'll touch the negative test lead to the ground bus bar in your panel and the positive test lead to each side of the fuse to ensure power is passing through. If not then we know that the fuse needs to be replaced. For the circuit breakers you can flip them all off and then back on again. From...
view full answer... - Wiring Diagram for 5th Wheel Trailer Landing Gear with Red, Black, White, and Green WiresIt sounds like you might have an Ultra-Fab landing gear set. I have included a diagram showing how the system gets wired. On it the white wire is the power wire and the green wire is the ground.

- Recommended Trailer Landing Gear with Independent Motors for 2009 Heartland Cyclone 3950The easiest way to make your 2009 Heartland Cyclone trailer an independent adjusting system is to use the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set # UF17-943010. This will come with two legs with the individual motors to allow easy leveling. If you want to keep your current system, you can leave the lead leg as is and then replace the follow leg with a lead leg # LG-177202, add a gearbox # LG-179015, and a motor with switch # LG-217884.
view full answer... - Stromberg-Carlson Landing Gear Can Barely Raise Forrest River Toy Hauler Off of HitchThere is no alternate gear box available but you may be able to install a second motor and switch, # LG-217884, so that each motor is only doing half the work. This will help the motors to last longer and should raise the trailer a little faster. You may also want to check the battery the motor is pulling from. If it is weak then that would affect the motor performance. Any auto parts store can test a battery for you. If you get a second motor, you will also need to replace the follower...
view full answer... - Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear Clicks And Does Not LiftTypically this is attributed to a weak battery or a weak ground connection. Start by checking your grounds and ensuring they are tight and on a good, clean, bare metal location. Additionally, check your battery terminals and make sure they are tightened and are not corroded. Finally, check the charge of your battery with # PT89ZR and ensure it reads 12.6 volts or higher. If you find your battery terminals are corroded or rusted, you can use the NOCO NCP2 Battery Terminal Treatment Kit...
view full answer... - Availability of Replacement Motor for Lippert Model 1300 Power Tongue JackThe part you referenced, Stromberg-Carlson Motor and Switch Kit for Landing Gear # LG-217884, is for converting Stromberg-Carlson manual landing gear to powered, or to replace the motor and switch on their # LG-1 electric landing gear. It is not suitable as a replacement motor for a tongue jack. My contact at Lippert advises that they do not offer a replacement motor for their powered tongue jacks. These units are not user-serviceable except for exterior components such as power switches...
view full answer... - Replacement Landing Gear Lead Leg Recommendation for 2005 Grand Junction Fifth WheelYour trailer uses one of the many standard landing gear setups. Venture, Stromberg, and Lippert basically all make the same landing gear. For a replacement landing gear lead leg you would want the part # LG-179013.
view full answer... - Motor and Switch for Venture Landing Gear on 5th WheelThe # LG-217884 landing gear motor you referenced is indeed compatible with your industry-standard Venture landing gear, per Stromberg Carlson. The spark-free switch assembly is safe for use around propane bottles.

The pink wire goes to the battery positive terminal and the black wire coming from the bottom of the switch goes to ground either on the trailer frame or to the negative battery terminal which will be connected to the trailer frame. The middle wires...

- Recommended Independent Motor Landing Gear Legs for 2007 Arctic Fox TrailerBased on your bracket locations, you will need the Replacement Lead Leg for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear - 33-1/2" # LG-177202 for each side, two of the Replacement Aluminum Gearbox # LG-179015, and two motors with switch kit # LG-217884. If you are willing to change you bracket locations, then I recommend the Reese Electric 5th Wheel Landing Gear Set - 36" Lift - 8,000 lbs # RP500708 which comes with everything you need.

- Troubleshooting No Power to Jacks With GeneratorSorry to hear about the hair loss but I'm sure it can grow back after you figure out the issue. It sounds like you have narrowed it down quite a bit if the switch, fuses and motor all seem to be fine and the jacks work when plugged into the truck. I don't know what jacks you have, what generator you are using or how the jacks are connected but the wiring seems like the only thing that can be causing the problem. Either you do not have a good ground somewhere or you have crimped or broken...

I spoke to my contact at Lippert, who manufactures the motor, and they confirmed that most landing gear that have a D-shaped connecting rod and up to a 6000 pound capacity will be compatible with this motor kit. I suggest you confirm the brand of your landing gear and the cross-section shape of the connecting rod. If it is either Lippert or Atwood...

- Does the Motor and Switch Kit for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear Include a Mounting BracketThe Motor and Switch Kit for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear # LG-217884 mounts to the gear box like the Replacement Aluminum Gearbox for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear # LG-179015 on your landing gear. It does not come with a mounting bracket. I have included a picture that shows how the Motor and Switch Kit for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear # LG-217884 would be mounted.

- Availability of RV Landing Gear that is Similar to RVLG-8000For a similar landing gear set to the # RVLG-8000 that is available we have the Stromberg Carlson Manual Landing Gear Set part # LG-183708 which fits same dimension mounting brackets and has same 8k capacity. None of the options we carrying are going to work with an Atwood motor though as they are no longer made. To add a motor to the Stromberg kit though you could use the # LG-217884 which is a kit that includes a switch setup as well.

You can replace your motor if we can find a good fit or you could replace your motors and legs. If you also need a gearbox then I need the model number of your landing gear to make a specific recommendation. For a replacement motor, I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear Set, Item # LG-217884, with a 5,500-lbs capacity or Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear...
view full answer... - What Landing Gear Kits Does the Motor and Switch Kit # LG-217884 fitThe Motor and Switch Kit # LG-217884 that you referenced is designed to be used on the manual landing gear part # LG-183708 and the part # LG-1. You should note that if this is used on the # LG-1 it will drop the capacity down to 5,500 lbs.
view full answer... - Landing Gear Motor that Looks Like Stromberg Carlson Only Travels One DirectionIf you had the Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear part # LG-1 the correct switch would be the part # LG-145236. This would wire in pretty easily and would be self-explanatory once you got into the install. For a motor and a switch you would want the part # LG-217884. If you can operate the jack manually up and down but not with the switch then the problem is either the switch or the motor. Most likely the switch. If you don't have the # LG-1 and can't determine what brand gear you have the...
view full answer... - Adding a Motor to an Older Fulton Landing Gear SetWe do not have any Fulton branded motors but my contact at Fulton said that if your Fulton landing gear set looks like the Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set # BD500162 then you can use a motor and switch kit from Stromberg Carlson, like part # LG-217884, because they are all pretty much made the same way. If your Fulton landing gear set does not look like the previously mentioned Bulldog set then you will need to replace the landing gear as the older Fulton version is not compatible with...

view full answer... - Recommendation to Upgrade to Dual Motor Landing Gear System on Trailer In order to upgrade your existing landing gear system to a dual motor setup, I recommend completely replacing the follower leg with a lead leg # LG-177202. I have attached the dimensions for this lead leg so you can compare them to your existing unit to make sure it will work well as a replacement. It's technically possible to upgrade the follower leg by replacing all of its inner components, but this is extremely involved and it is much safer to simply replace the leg itself. On a dual...

- What Replacement Landing Leg do I Need for My 2000 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheel Camper?Your 2000 Jayco Eagle likely uses either Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear Set # LG-1 or a Lippert setup like Lippert Electric Landing Gear Set # LC333964. You will want to confirm this, but if you need the replacement lead leg for Stromberg setup then go with Lead Leg # LG-179013 which has total lift of 34-7/8" and uses Motor # LG-217884. If you have the Lippert setup then go with Lippert Components 32" Lead 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Drop Leg # LC179013 and motor # LC142178 if you...
view full answer... - Can a Second Motor be Added to Stromberg-Carlson Landing Gear to Operate IndividuallyIf you have Stromberg-Carlson landing gear # LG-1 then you could use motor # LG-217884 but you would also need gearbox, # LG-179015 and would have to have a professional welder weld on the mounting brackets for the motor and gearbox to match the other leg. If you did this you would not need the connecting rod for both jacks. You would probably want to extend the switch wires so that both switches are next to each other.
