When your RV slide-out won't move or moves slowly under load, the gear motor is often the culprit. This Lippert 386322 is a direct OEM-style replacement motor assembly -- complete with the locking pin -- engineered specifically for Power Gear and Kwikee electric slide-out systems. Restore full slide travel and confident extension/retraction without cutting wires or modifying mounting brackets.
The Lippert 386322 is purpose-built to replace worn or failed gear motors in Power Gear and Kwikee electric slide-out systems found on a wide range of travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. The double-shaft design drives the slide-out rack from both sides of the motor body, distributing torque evenly and reducing stress on the drivetrain -- a known advantage over single-shaft configurations in heavy slide-out applications.
This assembly includes the retaining pin, which secures the motor to the gear housing during installation. The pin is a detail that frequently gets lost during removal of the old motor, so having it in the box means you can complete the job in one trip.
Drives rack from both ends of the motor shaft for balanced torque and reduced wear on the gear assembly.
Built to move fully loaded slide-outs reliably -- even slides carrying furniture, appliances, and flooring weight.
Complete assembly includes the motor locking pin. No separate hardware order required to finish the install.
Engineered to Lippert specifications for drop-in replacement in compatible Power Gear and Kwikee slide-out systems.
This motor is designed for use in Power Gear and Kwikee branded electric slide-out systems -- both product lines are now part of the Lippert Components family. It is intended for rack-and-pinion style electric slide-out mechanisms where the motor drives a gear rack to extend and retract the slide room.
Before ordering, confirm your existing motor is a double-shaft unit and that your system uses the same pinion engagement style. If your current motor is a single-shaft configuration, this motor is not interchangeable.
Mounting hardware, wiring harnesses, control boards, and slide-out room components are not included.
Replacement is typically accomplished by disconnecting the motor wiring connector, removing the retaining pin from the old motor, sliding the motor out of the gear housing, inserting the new motor, and re-securing with the included pin. No cutting or splicing of wiring is required on most compatible systems -- the motor uses an existing plug-in connector.
After seating the new motor and connecting the wiring, cycle the slide-out one full extension and retraction before reinstalling any access panels or trim. This confirms proper engagement and correct motor rotation direction before closing everything up.
Motor rotation direction matters. If your slide-out moves in the wrong direction after replacement, the motor's polarity wiring may need to be swapped at the connector. Confirm wiring polarity matches your system's control board output before assuming a defective unit.
While the slide-out mechanism is exposed during motor replacement, inspect the rack gear teeth for wear or debris buildup and lubricate with a dry slide-out lubricant or lithium grease per your system manufacturer's recommendation. A clean, lubricated rack reduces motor load and extends the life of the replacement motor.
