Lippert Components Klauber F-350 Series 12V DC -- 1/5 HP Lippert 143701 -- Klauber F-350 Electric Through-Frame Slide-Out Motor

A direct-replacement motor assembly for Lippert electric through-frame slide-out systems. Designed for 2x2, 2.5x2.5, and 2x3 rack configurations, this 12V DC unit installs without modification and gets your slide room moving again without a service center visit.

Stop Fighting a Sluggish or Dead Slide Room

The Klauber F-350 motor is one of the most common slide-out drive motors used in Lippert through-frame systems. Over time, brushes wear, armatures corrode, and what was once a smooth one-touch operation turns into grinding, stalling, or no movement at all. Part number 143701 is the factory-matched replacement -- same output shaft diameter, same mounting footprint, same 12V DC interface.

This motor ships pre-assembled and ready to bolt in. No rewinding, no press-fitting, no sourcing separate gearbox components. If you can remove four bolts and unplug a two-wire connector, you can complete this repair at your campsite or in your driveway.

Direct Bolt-In Fit

Matches OEM mounting pattern for 2x2, 2.5x2.5, and 2x3 through-frame slide-out systems. No drilling or adapters needed.

3/4" Output Drive Shaft

Standard 3/4-inch drive shaft engages the existing rack-and-pinion without machining or coupler swaps.

Low-Speed, High-Torque Gearing

8 RPM output with 1/5 HP rating delivers the sustained torque needed to move a fully loaded slide room reliably.

No Assembly Required

Arrives as a complete motor-and-gearbox assembly. Swap the old unit out and reconnect the wiring harness.

What You Get

  • 1 x Klauber F-350 motor assembly (motor and integrated gearbox)
  • Replacement is for the motor unit only -- existing mounting hardware, wiring harness, and rack-and-pinion assembly are reused from your coach

Fitment Overview -- Electric Through-Frame Systems

Lippert through-frame slide-out systems use a horizontal motor that drives a rack-and-pinion through the frame rail. The 143701 motor fits the following tube configurations:

  • 2-inch x 2-inch tube systems
  • 2.5-inch x 2.5-inch tube systems
  • 2-inch x 3-inch tube systems

If you are unsure of your tube size, measure the cross-section of the through-frame rail where the rack runs. Confirm the existing motor carries the Klauber F-350 designation or Lippert part 143701 before ordering.

Before You Replace the Motor

A motor that stalls or refuses to run is not always a failed motor. Before removing the 143701, check these common causes of slide-out failure:

  • Battery voltage at the motor leads -- must be 12V DC under load (low coach battery is the most common culprit)
  • Blown or undersized fuse in the slide-out circuit
  • Corroded or loose wiring connectors at the motor and the controller
  • Binding in the slide mechanism itself -- debris, bent rack sections, or worn guides can overload a healthy motor
  • Slide-out controller or limit switch failure -- the motor may be fine but not receiving a run signal

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect shore power and the coach battery before beginning any slide-out motor work
  • Mark the pinion gear orientation before removing the old motor so the new unit goes back in the same position
  • Apply a light coat of lithium grease to the drive shaft splines and rack teeth during reassembly
  • After installation, cycle the slide room in and out several times and verify limit switch engagement at both ends of travel
  • Torque motor mounting fasteners to the coach manufacturer specification -- overtightening can misalign the pinion

Related Parts to Check During Service

While the slide is disassembled for motor replacement, it is practical to inspect and service these components:

  • Rack-and-pinion for worn or broken teeth
  • Slide-out wiring harness and connector condition
  • Limit switches at each end of travel
  • Slide room seals and guides for wear or deformation
  • Slide-out controller module (Lippert part varies by coach year and model)

Important Information

  • This motor is designed for 12V DC systems only -- do not apply 24V or AC power.
  • Confirm tube size (2x2, 2.5x2.5, or 2x3) before ordering. This motor does not fit hydraulic slide-out systems or Schwintek in-wall systems.
  • The rack-and-pinion assembly, wiring harness, and mounting hardware are NOT included -- reuse components from the original installation.
  • Never run the slide-out motor with the coach at low battery voltage (below approximately 11V DC under load) -- low voltage causes excessive current draw and can damage the new motor.
  • Always disconnect the battery before removing or installing the motor to prevent accidental slide movement during service.
  • If the slide room was binding or stalled against an obstruction, inspect the rack and guides for damage before installing the replacement motor.
