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.
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.
Matches OEM mounting pattern for 2x2, 2.5x2.5, and 2x3 through-frame slide-out systems. No drilling or adapters needed.
Standard 3/4-inch drive shaft engages the existing rack-and-pinion without machining or coupler swaps.
8 RPM output with 1/5 HP rating delivers the sustained torque needed to move a fully loaded slide room reliably.
Arrives as a complete motor-and-gearbox assembly. Swap the old unit out and reconnect the wiring harness.
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:
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.
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:
While the slide is disassembled for motor replacement, it is practical to inspect and service these components:
