Keep your RV slide-out operating smoothly by replacing worn or damaged wear pads before they allow metal-on-metal contact. This Lippert OEM wear pad (part 1009281) is a direct replacement for slide room support and guide systems, measuring 6 x 4 inches and molded from durable black polycarbonate. It absorbs friction between the slide room and the main body of the coach, protecting both the slide frame and the floor structure mile after mile.
Slide-out wear pads are a maintenance item that most RV owners overlook until something goes wrong. As the slide room cycles in and out, these pads take the brunt of the friction load. When they wear through, the slide frame begins contacting metal components directly, leading to gouges, binding, and eventually expensive structural repairs.
The Lippert 1009281 wear pad is the correct OEM replacement for a wide range of Lippert-equipped travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. At 6 x 4 inches, it provides broad surface coverage to distribute the load evenly across the slide mechanism. The black polycarbonate construction resists UV degradation, moisture, and road debris -- all the conditions a slide system faces in regular RV use.
Impact-resistant polycarbonate resists cracking, UV damage, and moisture absorption for long service life in slide-out applications.
Direct replacement using Lippert part number 1009281 -- no modification or trimming needed for compatible slide systems.
Smooth polycarbonate face reduces drag as the slide room travels in and out, easing load on the slide motor and seals.
6 x 4 inch footprint distributes contact load across a wide area, reducing localized wear on the slide room floor and frame rails.
Lippert recommends inspecting slide-out wear pads annually or every 5,000 miles of travel, whichever comes first. Replacing a worn pad during routine maintenance is a straightforward job that prevents binding, seal damage, and costly frame repairs down the road.
This pad is sold under Lippert part number 1009281 (store SKU 10009281). When ordering replacements, confirm the pad count per slide room -- many slide systems use multiple wear pads at different contact points along the bottom and sides of the slide room.
A single slide room typically uses multiple wear pads at different positions -- bottom corners, center support, and sometimes side guides. Order the full set needed for your slide rather than replacing only the most visible pad. Running mismatched or partially worn pads can cause the slide to travel unevenly and stress the motor.
