NBK Parts Lippert 287298 12V DC / 500:1 Gear Ratio High Torque 500:1 Motor for Lippert In-Wall RV Slide-Outs

If your Lippert in-wall slide-out is slow, struggling under load, or simply won't move, this direct replacement 500:1 high torque motor restores reliable, full-power operation. Sold as NBK Parts 20560, it is a drop-in match for Lippert part number 287298 -- no modifications required for compatible systems.

Direct Replacement Motor for Lippert In-Wall Slide Systems

Lippert in-wall slide-out mechanisms are used across a wide range of fifth wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes. Over time, the motor assembly can wear out, lose torque, or fail outright -- especially on heavy residential-style slide rooms. This 500:1 gear motor (Lippert 287298 / NBK 20560) is engineered to restore the original performance specification without rewiring, bracket fabrication, or machining.

The 500:1 gear reduction gives this motor the mechanical advantage needed to move full-wall slide rooms loaded with furniture, appliances, and flooring. At 22 RPM under load and 26 RPM with no load, it moves the slide at a controlled, steady rate -- not too fast, not sluggish.

500:1 Gear Ratio

High gear reduction multiplies torque output, allowing the motor to move heavy full-wall slide rooms reliably even when loaded with furniture and appliances.

Direct OEM Fitment

Replaces Lippert part 287298 exactly. Designed for drop-in installation on compatible Lippert in-wall slide-out drive systems -- no adapters or modifications needed.

Low No-Load Current Draw

Under 1.3 amps at no load protects your coach's 12V electrical system and reduces strain on the slide-out controller during startup and retraction cycles.

2-Year Manufacturer Warranty

Backed by a limited 2-year warranty from the manufacturer, giving you confidence in the motor's longevity through thousands of extend-retract cycles.

Who Needs This Motor

This motor is the right part if your Lippert in-wall slide-out exhibits any of the following symptoms:

  • Slide moves slower than normal on extension or retraction
  • Motor hums or clicks but the slide does not move
  • Motor runs but lacks the torque to fully extend or retract under normal load
  • Motor housing is cracked, burned, or physically damaged
  • Existing motor tests as electrically open or shorted at the terminals
Drop-In Replacement: This motor assembly is a direct substitution for Lippert OEM part number 287298. If your existing motor carries that part number on its label or in your coach's parts documentation, this is your replacement.

Installation Overview

Replacing an in-wall slide motor is a straightforward job for a mechanically capable RV owner or a service technician familiar with Lippert systems. The general process involves disconnecting the 12V motor leads, removing the retaining hardware that secures the motor to the drive assembly, swapping the motor, and reconnecting the wiring. No special tools beyond basic hand tools are typically required.

Tip: Before replacing the motor, verify the slide controller, limit switches, and wiring harness are functioning correctly. A failed controller or tripped limit switch can mimic a bad motor. Confirm 12V supply is reaching the motor terminals under load before pulling the motor.
Heads-Up: This motor is specifically for Lippert in-wall slide-out systems. It is not compatible with Lippert hydraulic, rack-and-pinion (SchwinTek), or electric-over-hydraulic systems. Verify your slide type before ordering.

About NBK Parts

NBK Parts (SKU prefix 20560 series) specializes in aftermarket replacement components for OEM RV systems including Lippert, Dexter, and Kwikee. Their motor assemblies are manufactured to match OEM specifications for gear ratio, shaft dimensions, and terminal configuration, making them a reliable service-shop and DIY choice when OEM parts carry long lead times or high markups.

Maintenance Note: After installing a new slide motor, cycle the slide in and out 2-3 times on level ground with the room empty if possible. Check all mechanical connections for proper engagement. Lubricate the slide's rack gear or drive tube according to Lippert's maintenance schedule to reduce future motor strain.

Important Information
  • Verify your existing motor carries Lippert part number 287298 before ordering. In-wall slide systems use multiple motor variants; an incorrect gear ratio or shaft size will prevent installation.
  • This is a 12V DC motor only. Do not attempt to run on 24V or AC power.
  • Not compatible with Lippert hydraulic slide systems, Schwintek in-wall systems, or rack-and-pinion slide drives -- even if they appear similar externally.
  • Disconnect shore power and battery before beginning any slide motor service to prevent accidental slide activation during installation.
  • If the slide room is extended and the motor has failed, use Lippert's manual override procedure to retract the room before replacing the motor. Do not travel with a partially extended slide.
  • This motor assembly does not include a controller, limit switches, or wiring. If those components are damaged, they must be replaced separately.
