Stop cranking by hand every time you set up camp. The Stromberg Carlson LG-5 replaces manual landing gear legs on most 5th wheel trailers with a 12V DC electric drive system, letting you raise and lower your front end from a rocker switch. At 46 inches long and built from heavy-duty steel, this is a direct-fit replacement designed for the standard leg pockets found on a wide range of 5th wheel frames -- no custom fabrication required for most applications.
Landing gear is one of the most-used mechanisms on any 5th wheel, and manual cranking gets old fast, especially after a long travel day or when you're solo camping. The Stromberg Carlson LG-5 electric landing gear system is engineered as a bolt-in upgrade or replacement for standard 5th wheel landing legs, converting your setup routine to simple switch operation powered by your rig's 12V DC system.
The LG-5 ships as a complete gear assembly at 37 lbs., spanning 46 inches in length -- sized to match the typical spread found on mid-size to full-size 5th wheel trailers. The 11-inch width and 8-inch height profile keep it within the standard frame channel dimensions used by most North American 5th wheel manufacturers.
Runs off your trailer's existing 12V battery or converter. No generator, no inverter, no extra power source needed at the campsite.
Designed to replace standard factory landing gear legs on most 5th wheel trailers. Mounts into existing leg pockets on the trailer frame.
Built from steel with a corrosion-resistant finish to handle road grime, weather exposure, and the repeated load cycles of full-time or frequent use.
Comes as a complete landing gear unit ready to install -- motor, gearbox, and leg assembly in one package at 37 lbs. shipping weight.
Manual landing gear on a heavy 5th wheel can require hundreds of crank turns and significant physical effort, particularly when the trailer is heavily loaded. Electric landing gear eliminates that entirely. The LG-5's motor and gearbox do the work while you monitor the height from outside the truck. For full-timers, older campers, or anyone who unhitches and hitches frequently, the difference is immediately noticeable.
The LG-5 is also a practical replacement for manual gear that has worn out, stripped gears, or a bent leg from road debris -- situations where a full leg replacement is already necessary. Installing electric at that point costs only marginally more than a manual replacement and adds permanent convenience.
The LG-5 mounts into the standard square leg pockets welded to the underside of most 5th wheel trailer frames. Typical installation involves:
The LG-5 is designed for standard residential-style 5th wheel trailers common from manufacturers including Forest River, Keystone, Heartland, Grand Design, Coachmen, Jayco, and others that use conventional square-tube leg pocket frames. Verify your existing leg pocket dimensions against the 46 x 11 x 8 inch profile before ordering if your trailer uses a non-standard frame configuration.
