A direct OEM replacement motor for Lippert Venture through-frame slide-out actuator systems. If your slide-out is moving slowly, grinding, or failing to extend or retract fully, a worn motor is often the culprit. The 295380 restores factory performance without replacing the entire actuator assembly.
The Lippert 295380 is the correct high-speed motor for the Venture through-frame slide-out actuator system, used widely across fifth wheels, travel trailers, and Class A motorhomes built with Lippert slide-out mechanisms. The 18:1 gear ratio delivers the speed and torque balance Lippert engineers specified for this actuator family.
This is a motor-only replacement. The actuator assembly (Lippert part number 168956) is a separate purchase. If your actuator body, ram, or mounting hardware is intact and undamaged, swapping the motor is the cost-effective repair path.
High-speed ratio designed for the Venture through-frame actuator -- balances slide extension speed with sufficient torque for full-size rooms.
Replaces only the motor on actuator 168956. Retain your existing actuator body, hardware, and wiring harness.
Manufactured by Lippert to factory specifications. Mounts directly to the Venture actuator without modification or adapters.
Engineered for through-frame slide-out configurations where the actuator assembly mounts through the RV chassis rail.
Lippert's Venture through-frame system routes a linear actuator through the chassis frame rail to push and pull the slide-out room. The electric motor drives a gearbox that converts motor rotation into linear force on the actuator rod. This design keeps the mechanism protected inside the frame, reducing exposure to road debris and weather compared to external rack-and-pinion systems.
The motor is the component most likely to wear in this system. Signs of motor failure include a slide-out that hums but does not move, moves only in one direction, moves slower than normal, or trips the circuit breaker under load.
The 295380 motor is specific to the Lippert Venture through-frame actuator system. It is not a universal slide-out motor. Verify your actuator is the Lippert 168956 Venture unit before ordering. Through-frame Venture systems were installed on a broad range of RVs from major manufacturers including Forest River, Coachmen, Keystone, and others that source Lippert slide-out components.
Motor replacement on the Venture through-frame actuator requires basic hand tools and familiarity with RV slide-out systems. The motor mounts to the actuator gearbox with fasteners accessible after removing the motor from the actuator body. Disconnect 12V power and verify the slide is fully retracted or blocked before beginning work. Lippert's service documentation (LCI Service Portal) covers the full procedure for this actuator family.
