Repair Kit for Electric Landing Gear That Does Not Extend When Motor Runs
Question:
We have a 2005 four wins winners circle 5th wheel. WHEN WE PUSH THE EXT BUTTON THE driver side motor on the landing jacks slips. This does not happen with the other side motor. When we hold the motor it sometimes does not slip.

Helpful Expert Reply:
If the driver's-side landing gear motor on your 2005 Four Winns 5th wheel operates but the jack does not extend, then the issue is likely to be the gearbox that connects the motor to the jack leg.
These gearboxes do have parts that simply wear out and we offer both replacement gear boxes as well as repair kits. You can review the linked page for available replacement gear kits.
You can check your landing gear for brand and part numbers that will help ensure you select the correct kit. Trailer makers do not often maintain records on items like landing gear that are used in production of their trailers so a check of your landing gear is likely to be the best way to find out what brand you have.
I also linked our main page for new landing gear kits in case you prefer to replace yours.
