Could Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear Replace RBW Landing Gear on Fifth Wheel

Question:

We have 1998 carri lite that has a RBW front landing gear that has failed. Is it interchangeable with the Stromberg Carlson LG 1 Deluxe Electric Landing Gear?

In order to pick out a direct replacement for the landing gear on your 1998 Carri Lite we would need to know the distance between the mounting brackets. Otherwise you could just have the brackets removed from your trailer by a qualified welder and then install the brackets that come with the Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set # LG-1. Either way this landing gear set would work well for you, you just might have to have the brackets of your trailer removed and then install the brackets of the # LG-1.

The jacks would be the correct replacement for Lippert, Venture, and Atwood landing gear, as well as those from a few other manufacturers. The sure way to tell is that if the distance between the mounting brackets (underside of top bracket to top of lower bracket) is 17-1/2 inches. If this is the case, the landing gear should fit just fine.

If your frame clamps are instead 20-1/4 inches the Ultra Fab part # UF17-943010 would be a direct replacement.
