When your Lippert slide-out stops moving or moves sluggishly, the motor/gearbox assembly is often the culprit. This is the genuine Lippert 142708 replacement unit -- an M-9500 low-profile Venture motor and gearbox in one assembly -- designed for a direct bolt-in swap on compatible slide-out systems. The 18:1 gear ratio delivers the torque needed to move heavy full-wall and room slides reliably, trip after trip.
Lippert is the largest manufacturer of slide-out systems in the RV industry, and the Venture slide-out mechanism is found in thousands of towables and motorhomes. The 142708 assembly matches the original equipment specification exactly -- same mounting footprint, same shaft interface, same gear ratio -- so you're not adapting or shimming anything. Pull the old unit, drop this one in, reconnect the wiring harness, and you're back on the road.
The low-profile design of the M-9500 motor/gearbox keeps the assembly compact enough to fit in tight slide-out cavities where a standard-height motor would not clear the floor decking or underbelly panel. If your current unit carries the M-9500 designation or part number 142708, this is your direct replacement.
High-torque output moves heavy full-wall slides without straining the motor or tripping thermal protection.
Compact M-9500 body clears tight underbelly cavities and floor decking where standard-height motors cannot fit.
Matches original mounting pattern and shaft interface of the Lippert Venture slide-out drive system -- no adapters needed.
Motor and gearbox are assembled as a single unit, simplifying the swap and reducing the chance of misalignment during reinstallation.
The Lippert Venture slide-out system uses a rack-and-pinion or cable drive mechanism depending on the coach configuration. The motor/gearbox assembly bolts to the drive housing and turns the output shaft that moves the slide room. On Venture-equipped coaches, the motor is typically accessible from inside the coach after removing a trim panel, or from underneath through the underbelly. Confirm your existing motor/gearbox carries the M-9500 designation or part number 142708 before ordering.
Lippert produces several motor/gearbox assemblies for different Venture and Schwintek slide configurations. The 142708 is specific to the M-9500 low-profile Venture variant. Verify your existing part number on the motor label or your coach's parts manifest. A standard-height Venture motor or an M-9000/M-9100 unit is NOT interchangeable with this assembly.
If your slide-out is experiencing intermittent operation rather than complete failure, the Lippert slide-out control board or limit switches may be the source of the problem rather than the motor/gearbox. Inspect the wiring harness connector at the motor for corrosion or pushed-out pins before replacing mechanical components.
