When your RV slide-out motor fails or loses power, the Lippert 119143 manual crank lets you retract or extend your slide safely without a service call. This 20-inch crank rod is a direct replacement for Lippert rack-and-pinion slide-out systems and ships with the roll pin pre-installed for a drop-in swap.
Lippert rack-and-pinion slide-out systems are standard equipment on a wide range of travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. The 119143 crank rod is the manual override component in that system -- it inserts into the gear housing and lets you hand-crank the slide in or out when the electric motor is unavailable.
At 20 inches in length with a 1.2-inch outer diameter, this crank provides enough leverage to move even larger slide rooms with manageable effort. The included roll pin locks the crank securely into the gear socket so it does not slip under load.
Retract or extend your slide without motor power -- essential for roadside emergencies or motor failures away from home.
The roll pin ships installed. No extra hardware needed to seat the crank into your slide gear housing.
OEM Lippert part number 119143 -- a like-for-like swap for worn or damaged cranks on compatible rack-and-pinion systems.
1.2" OD and 0.4055" ID are machined to Lippert rack-and-pinion tolerances for a secure, play-free fit in the gear socket.
Lippert electric slide-out systems include a manual override port on the gear housing. In normal use, the electric motor drives the rack-and-pinion mechanism. If the motor fails, a fuse blows, or your coach loses 12V power, you insert the manual crank rod into that port and turn it by hand. The roll pin engages the gear shaft and transfers your torque directly to the slide mechanism.
This crank is a maintenance spare and an emergency tool -- many RV owners keep one stowed in the coach at all times alongside a basic toolkit and their Lippert slide documentation.
The roll pin secures the crank rod inside the gear housing port. Over time, pins can shear, corrode, or get lost during removal. If you only need the retaining pin and not the full crank rod, Lippert offers a replacement hairpin separately under part number 118106. Keep a spare -- losing the pin in the field means your crank cannot be secured during manual operation.
