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.
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.
High gear reduction multiplies torque output, allowing the motor to move heavy full-wall slide rooms reliably even when loaded with furniture and appliances.
Replaces Lippert part 287298 exactly. Designed for drop-in installation on compatible Lippert in-wall slide-out drive systems -- no adapters or modifications needed.
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.
Backed by a limited 2-year warranty from the manufacturer, giving you confidence in the motor's longevity through thousands of extend-retract cycles.
This motor is the right part if your Lippert in-wall slide-out exhibits any of the following symptoms:
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.
