Replacement Landing Gear Motor for Atwood Landing Gear Motor 75721

Question:

I have recently set up my camper and have the super duty with both motors being Atwood 75721s. My problem is one side wont extend nor retract anymore, it just clicks. What is the replacement motor and can it be changed with the camper under its own weight?

According to my research, the correct replacement for your Atwood Landing Gear Motor 75721 is the Replacement Motor for Electric Landing Gear part # LG-142178. This motor has a 5,500 RPM rating as well as a 5,500 lb weight capacity. It will be a direct replacement for your Atwood landing gear motor.

I will say that if you only replace one motor now, you will be replacing the other motor soon thereafter. The reason for this is that the old motor will now have to work much harder to keep up with the new motor. The old motor could then also affect the longevity of the new motor as well by slowing it down which is why I recommend replacing both at the same time.

The landing gear motor's can both be replaced while there is weight on the landing gear legs. All you will need to do for replacement is cut the wires, loosen the screws, and then replace. In order to wire the motor back up I recommend using part # DW05745-5.
