Just picked up a 2014 Forest River FR3 motorhome. 30ft. It has a 5k rated hitch. I'm wanting to upgrade to a 10k hitch to tow my 24ft covered trailer but can't seem to locate the right hitch. Any links for the CORRECT hitch? Been looking for a couple days and can't find definitive answers..
Has anyone changed the motor on a FIC 3500lb 2nd Generation Electric Tongue Jack? I removed the snap ring but can't get the gears off to access the motor mounting screws. TIA
So the Youtube video says this is a 20 minute job. Don't start this until you have put a rag under the cover so a screw doesn't fall down into the folding mechanism :(.
Going forward I pull on the wire lead to get some slack except the plug wire had no slack and when I pulled it just unplugged...
Hello folks. It appears that one of my slide motors has died. I have a 2019 dynamax isata 3. I can’t clear the fault codes so my wall is left open. I can’t retract it and I’ve been stuck at the park for a week. It’s a Lippert slim rack - so I know i need to find the motor and remove it so that i...
Hi folks! Just sharing a find on ebay for those of you who have Lippert slim rack Power Gear type slide out systems and carry a spare motor/parts. These motors are normally over $250 each and this seller on Ebay has them for $82. I picked up and a second one to have on hand in case of failure. I...
Does anyone know where I can find the part number for the slide motor on the front slide for a 2021 Dynamax Force HD 37BD? And what’s the level of difficulty changing that out?
I have one Schwintek slide that's always been slow or hesitant, and has been repaired more than once, and now has yet another bad motor. Does anyone know if the existing 300:1 motors can be replaced by the more powerful 500:1 motors, without a rewire, i.e., plug and play?
We needed space for a few bikes and did not want them "outside", so I built a storage box that holds the bike and a few more things.

Im having some issues with my 9200 dometic motor…. A new one is more than 550$ and it coûd be worse.
Does someone already find a good solution to fix that motor like buying another part to replace only the motor, not the gear?!?
Thanks
Fire Destroys Motorhomes - Montgomery County, Tx

A CatStrap is a catalytic converter anti-theft device. While I found a lot of information on installing one on a car or truck, there was almost nothing available for a Ford F-53 gas motorhome so I decided to write up what I did.
The installation turned out well and so far the catalytic...
FR now publishes a single email & number for motohome service for all motorized brands
Well, well, this is interesting. FR has removed the individual names, their email addresses, and their phone numbers from the "Contact Us" section of their web site under SERVICE. For the motorhomes it now...
I have a 2006 Sunseeker motorhome. I would like to install leveling jacks, but I don’t want to spend $2,000 to $3,000. I was told by my RV repair place that scissor jacks won’t work for that motorhome. Why? Thanks for any input!
I'm working on a 2020 Berkshire 40e bedroom slide with the same bad gear as oscarvan. I decided to try a motor gearbox I found on Amazon for $159.99 and it works with one modification. Part number 523900 by Gagsu.
The 4 mounting bolt holes are an exact match for spacing and thread size. The...
Hey everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read through this.
I’m a bit confused at the moment. I have recently purchased a used 2001 FR Windsong class a 34’ w/2 slides and have been doing some maintenance on it. I acquired it two weeks ago and drove it home no issues, I’ve actually had it...
This started out as a REALLY long post about losing the bolts out of the hydraulic pump motor. After reading it, it seemed rather a bit much. So, here's the short version.
While heading to Moab to wheel our new Toad, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for the night. Went to extend the jacks and no...
I have a 2017 23RB. My end goal is to figure out how to manually open or close the slide out. I think there is a place on the motor but for the life if me I can’t find the motor. The bottom has a covering - like foam board - I suspect it’s behind that somewhere but don’t know where.
Iam original owner of 2018 Wolfpack toy hauler. Last summer the 30 amp in line fuse to the front landing jacks keeps blowing.I sometimes need 2 fuses replaced per trip. I have legs marked and have not run them up too far.
Upon inspection all wires are good with good connections. What I did...
First post on this forum. Shout out to all the members who share information and experience here. I've gleaned a lot of useful advice thanks to you.
Fan motor appears to have died in the bathroom vent. We keep our rig at a seasonal campsite. Unfortunately, I discovered the failure just as...
It’s stopped working and I’ve traced the wires and I’m getting voltage right to the motor, so I’m going to replace the motor.
I was hoping someone could help me in making sure I purchase the right one, and possibly a link to where I could get it.
I have a 2005 Cherokee Lite 28'' RV with one slide.
When I try to bring my electric slide in, it sounds like something is skipping. I completely dismantled the gear box and all looks good. Someone told me there's some kind of protector or kick out for the motor, does anyone know anything...
Hi Folks,
New to the forum. For the life of me I can't figure out how to access the slide out motor housing/reservoir/etc. The owner's manual doesn't say where it is and there is no access panel that I can see? I have a 2006 Cherokee 28BH.
If anybody knows, it sure would help me a lot (not...
