Today we're going to take a quick look at the Lippert Components Venture Lead Leg repair kit for 5th-wheel RV landing gear.Now if you've had your landing gear for a long time or it's just not really working the way it should and the gears aren't really lining up they used to. It's getting harder and harder to deploy that landing gear out and retract it back in, an easy way to extend the life of that landing gear is to replace the components inside it.It's going to be a pretty easy job. It might be a little bit messy since there is some grease in there to keep everything lubricated and working as it should. But really, all you'll need is some extra grease and, maybe a pair of pliers and a screwdriver.Pop the top off of your landing gear. Remove the components. Be sure to clean those off.
Look for any spots of damage and try to make sure that you remember which part goes where. And then replace all your components in the same order that you took the old ones out.Included in our kit, we're going to get one drive shaft, which is going to be this longer piece here. We'll also get our two bevel gears. We're going to have our, sort of, smaller but fatter one. This is going to be our 12-T bevel gear, and then our 16-T bevel gear.We'll get our two drive shaft bushings, a shim washer, an E-clip, this spiral pin.
You can see it's a little rolled up spiral there. And also our drive pin.So again, all these components are going to fit in a specific order. Your drive pin is going to fit inside our larger washer like that.And then the spiral pin is going to fit inside our smaller bevel.And again, you just want to make sure to note the order the order that you take things out and just replace them the same way.This is going to be a lot easier and quicker, more affordable way to replace your damaged components and get your landing gear back to working as it should, rather than having to replace your entire assembly.Again if you do need any grease to pack in there to make sure everything is lubricated, you can also find that here at etrailer.com, so definitely check that out if you need to pick any up.This product is also made in the USA, and that's going to do it for our look at the Lippert Components Venture Lead Leg repair kit for 5th-wheel RV landing gear.

Fantastic service and capabilities. I contacted them reading a series of part numbers to repair my Lippert landing gear. Great research efforts locating every item I requested. My order arrived one day early. I replaced parts received meeting my departure time for a 1200 mile trip. I couldn't have expected more.
Awesome experience from the call to the 800 number through delivery of my parts. Parts were exactly what I expected and were delivered on time as promised. I would definitely recommend etrailer.com for all your RV and or camper needs.
Kit worked good except large gear shaft diameter too small! Drilled out to install as delivery was already extended due to back order and could not wait any longer for return/reorder?

Works great. Used to to separate the 2 landing legs on my 5th wheel trailer to allow for independent operation with 2 motors. This modification is done on the passenger side leg (the one without the motor). By adding these parts, you can now install the new motor (LG-142178) and gear box (LC276602) to operate each landing leg separately. -obviously you will need to install a second switch and the appropriate wiring. Great modification -should have been installed like this from the factory.
Mark - 04/13/2020The parts got to me in time, which was crucial for our road trip, everything fit perfectly. The aluminum reduction gear box is awesome. Thanks etrailer!
After shearing off the main pin of the landing gear on my Raptor 5th wheel toyhauler, I ordered the the Lippert landing gear repair kit from etrailer. They were extremely helpful, verified fitment, and shipped it immediately. It not only was easy to replace, but fit /worked perfectly.
Rex - 11/17/2018My first review that I compelled to write because the service and product were excellent. After viewing a YouTube video to determine why my Fifth Wheel landing gear would not extend or retract, I knew this repair kit was exactly what I needed. Ordered kit at 4 pm Thursday and received package in the mail Saturday. All parts were an exact match. Lesson learned - lube the bevel gears in top of the landing gear legs. Cap on top is easy to remove. Hats off to Chelsey who helped me place the order and provided exceptional follow-up.
All the parts were exactly like the originals. Shipping was quick. Would be helpful to include an assembly diagram and instructions. I found one in the help articles, so it would just be a matter of including a printout of that in the package. By the way, this was for an independent Venture landing gear leg - no tie-over to a follow leg (each leg on mine has its own motor). But the parts are exactly the same.
Emily thank you very much for your assistance. You are a very knowledgeable woman in this area. I received all of my parts very quickly timely manner and I am very happy with the product. Both legs are fixed and up and running I'm very happy. I would suggest the anyone that needs anyting pertaining to RVs or what other products they might have to go there to etrailer for a very good experience
Product is great rebuild the landing leg in leg in less then a hour.

I just received the product I ordered, and will be installing them this weekend. The product looks just as it was represented and I do not perceive any problems going forward. The service has been excellent, beginning with Jaimie the rep who assisted me in ordering. It was delivered very shortly after the order was placed, in fact ahead of the estimated delivery date. I am very pleased
You were able to answer our question in a short time. Our parts arrived right on time and were exactly what we needed. We have not got the chance to fix our problem yet, but will in the next couple of days. We are extremely pleased with the service and knowledge etrailer has provided us.
The product did as was required ,directions were precise and easy to understand, leg now works very good thanks and i will use e trailer again when needed
After placing my order, I received immediate conformation and follow - up from this company. The part I ordered was determined to be out of stock, the same day I was notified of the delay of shipping by phone for my approval. The part was received by E-trailer and shipped within a few days of the order, again I was notified it was in-route via email. Very pleased with the customer service and product, I will use this company again ...
I purchased this product on two occasions: 1 to repair the broken pin and gear; the second was for a backup if needed. I am very satisfied with my purchase and the product consultants @ e trailer.
Great customer service! I needed one of the 2 items asap, etrailer had no issues with a split shipment. My items came faster than expected.
It is good quality. It was also easy to assemble.
Lippert landing gear rebuild kit is still working flawlessly. God bless.
Lee G - 05/22/2020etrailer sent my parts in a very timely manner and the parts are easy to install and the exact replacement and seems to be of great quality.
Parts and service is always on point!!! Great company to deal with never any issues parts have always been what I need and lets face it if you have an rv your gonna need parts
While it was difficult to determine the problem with the non-functioning lift leg, a sheared pin allowed the worm gear to spin without lifting, but occasionally catching and causing some minor lift. This kit resolved the issue entirely. Took several hours to remove the old gear, because of the sheared pin not easily removable, but once that was done, reassembly with the new pieces was easy enough. Quality materials, nothing cheap about the parts here.
My order arrived when expected. Packaged very well. I received everything ordered and the exact items needed. I'm very happy with etrailer and will use them in the future for an always endless list of repart part for my 5th Wheel. Thanks to all at etrailer.
The correct part on time at the right p rice.
