A direct-replacement motor and driveshaft assembly engineered for Lippert above-floor sofa slide systems. The 18:1 right-angle gearbox delivers the torque needed to move heavy sofa slides reliably, and the bolt-on design means no fabrication or shaft modifications are required for a proper fit.
When an above-floor sofa slide stops extending or retracting, the motor and driveshaft assembly is one of the first components to inspect. Worn motor brushes, a stripped gearbox, or a damaged driveshaft can all cause sluggish or non-functional slide operation. The Lippert 133612 replaces the entire drive unit -- motor, driveshaft, and right-angle gearbox -- as a matched assembly, so you are not chasing a partial repair.
This assembly is purpose-built for Lippert Tuson above-floor slide systems. The right-angle gearbox transfers power from the motor to the driveshaft at the correct angle for these installations, and the 18:1 ratio provides the mechanical advantage needed to move sofa slide mechanisms smoothly under full coach conditions.
Delivers high torque output for reliable above-floor sofa slide movement, even under heavy load.
Matched to Lippert Tuson above-floor slide geometry -- no shaft adapters or angle brackets needed.
Runs directly from coach 12V house battery power, compatible with standard Lippert slide-out control systems.
Motor, driveshaft, and right-angle gearbox ship as one matched unit, replacing the entire drive train in a single service event.
Mounting hardware and slide-out control wiring are not included. Reuse existing hardware from the unit being replaced, or source separately.
This assembly is a direct swap for the original Lippert 133612 drive unit. If the original motor mounting pattern, driveshaft coupler, and control wiring connector match, no modifications are required. Always confirm your existing unit's part number before ordering.
Above-floor slide systems run the slide mechanism across the main floor, meaning the slide room sits on top of the floor rather than dropping below it. These systems are common in slideout sofa and dinette rooms on mid-size and large fifth wheels and travel trailers. The motor and driveshaft assembly mounts in a fixed bracket beneath or beside the sofa slide rack.
Lippert produces multiple slide-out motor assemblies with different gear ratios, driveshaft lengths, and gearbox orientations. The 133612 is specific to Tuson above-floor sofa slide configurations using an 18:1 ratio. Cross-reference the part number on your original motor tag or contact Lippert technical support with your coach VIN to confirm this is the correct replacement before installation.
