LippertPart 122840 / 71-5604Steel ConstructionLippert 122840 RV Slide-Out Stop Can Assembly Replacement

Keep your RV slide-out sealed tight in both the extended and retracted positions. The Lippert 122840 stop can assembly gives you a simple mechanical method to fine-tune seal contact, protecting the interior from rain, road wash, and hose-down water intrusion -- no special tools required.

Precise Slide-Out Seal Adjustment in a Simple Steel Assembly

A misaligned slide-out seal is one of the most common causes of water damage in RVs. The Lippert 122840 stop can assembly solves that by letting you physically adjust where the slide-out stops relative to the seal. Rotate the stop can tube in or out to dial in the correct seal compression, then lock the position by tightening the retaining nut. The result is consistent, repeatable seal contact every time the slide operates.

This replacement assembly is compatible with Lippert above-floor and through-frame slide-out systems -- two of the most widely used slide-out architectures in towable and motorized RVs. The kit includes one stop can tube and one stop can plug, giving you everything needed to restore proper function to a worn or damaged stop can location.

Adjustable Positioning

Rotate the tube in or out to set seal compression, then tighten the nut to lock it in place. No guesswork, no shimming.

Two-Piece Steel Kit

Includes one stop can tube and one stop can plug. Steel construction handles repeated slide cycling without deforming.

Broad System Compatibility

Fits Lippert above-floor and through-frame slide-out systems used across a wide range of RV brands and floor plans.

DIY-Friendly Replacement

Straightforward swap with basic hand tools. No special equipment or alignment fixtures required for installation.

What Is a Slide-Out Stop Can?

The stop can is a mechanical stop component mounted in the slide-out system that controls how far the room travels when retracting. It creates a fixed reference point so the slide-out seal compresses the same amount each time the room closes. Over time, stop cans can corrode, deform from impacts, or simply wear to the point where seal contact becomes inconsistent. When that happens, you may notice water entry along the slide-out perimeter, visible gaps in the seal when the room is retracted, or increased wind noise at highway speed.

Replacing the stop can assembly restores the original mechanical reference, re-establishing proper seal compression without the need to adjust the entire slide-out mechanism.

Fits Above-Floor and Through-Frame Systems: Lippert produces two common slide-out architectures. This stop can assembly is listed for both, making it a versatile replacement part for many RV configurations using Lippert hardware.

Installation Overview

Installation is a direct mechanical swap. The general process involves:

  • Extending the slide-out to access the existing stop can location.
  • Removing the worn or damaged stop can tube and plug.
  • Threading the new stop can tube into position.
  • Adjusting depth by rotating the tube until the slide-out seal contacts evenly when the room retracts.
  • Tightening the retaining nut to secure the tube at the adjusted position.
  • Verifying seal contact by cycling the slide-out fully in and out at least once.
Adjustment Tip: When setting seal position, aim for consistent light-to-medium compression along the full seal perimeter. Over-tightening the stop can position can cause premature seal wear; too little compression allows water infiltration at the seal edge.
Inspect the Seal Too: If the slide-out seal itself is cracked, torn, or hardened, replacing the stop can alone may not fully resolve water intrusion. Inspect the full perimeter seal before and after installation.
Maintenance Note: After installation, re-inspect seal contact after the first few slide cycles. Vibration from travel can occasionally shift the stop can position slightly. Re-tighten the nut after the first trip if needed.

Important Information
  • This kit includes the stop can tube and plug only. It does not include the retaining hardware, seal, or any other slide-out components.
  • Verify your Lippert slide-out system type (above-floor or through-frame) before ordering to confirm fitment.
  • Inspect the slide-out seal perimeter for damage before and after replacing the stop can. A damaged seal must be replaced separately for full water protection.
  • Do not over-torque the retaining nut -- excessive force can strip the threads or deform the tube, compromising the stop reference position.
  • Always extend the slide-out fully before accessing the stop can location. Never work under or near a slide-out that is not fully supported.
  • Lippert part number 122840 is the ground-truth identifier for this assembly. Cross-reference this number with your RV manufacturer's parts documentation to confirm applicability.
