Will A 28:1 Ratio Slide Out Motor Outperform A 18:1 Ratio Slide Out Motor?

Question

Question:

My bedroom slide has a tuson 18:1 Motor but it seems to be over worked. I see that the tuson has been pretty much replaced by the venture im looking for a motor and gearbox with Driveshaft my question is can I replace mine with a 28:1 and it would have more torque and possibly work better?

For your trailer, I actually recommend sticking with a 18:1 ratio motor like # LC125802 & the Replacement 18:1 Venture Motor and Driveshaft with Right Angle Gear Box # LC117292 over a 28:1 ratio motor like # LC136373.

Reason being, is that you will get more torque out of a 28:1 ratio motor, but it will be slower than an 18:1 ratio motor.

For your older Tuson motor, you can use Replacement 18:1 Tuson Motor for Lippert Through-Frame Slide-outs # LC125802 for just the motor, or the Replacement 18:1 Venture Motor and Driveshaft with Right Angle Gear Box # LC117292 which also has a drive shaft and a right angle gear box.

I recommend the heavy-duty 6500-lbTuson motor, part #LC196308 for your landing gear. This motor is easy to install and requires no assembly. The Tuson High Speed 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Motor, part #LC141893 has a weight capacity of 5,000-lbs.
