Replaces the gearbox on Venture electric fifth-wheel RV landing gear assemblies. Easy installation. Aluminum construction.The original equipment landing gear gearbox on my 30.5' 5th wheeler was made of a plastic-like material. It eventually stripped out and the little extensions that held it in place and kept it from twisting wore off. The replacement part from etrailer is an upgrade to aluminum. It fit perfectly in place of the original with no alterations. It works smoothly and I have confidence in this aluminum gearbox doing the job for years to come.
I needed a gearbox replacement for my Atwood electric landing gear. Atwood is no longer in business. I went to my local RV dealer in Edmonton, Alberta where I bought my 2005 5th wheel and they basically told me Atwood doesn't exist any more so good luck. I contacted etrailer.com and Jenny found a Ventura gearbox for me right and away and had it delivered in just over a week (would have been quicker but I chose the cheapest shipping method). Once I removed the old gearbox I realized the gearbox was fine, the problem was with the driver shaft so I reached out to Jenny once again. Turned out Jenny was out of the office but that didn't stop etrailer.com from trying to help me. They contacted Lippert and got me the Lippert replacement part # and provided me with their phone number. How impressive is that! etrailer.com goes above and beyond. They know what customer service is about. As it turned out when I phoned Lippert they told me they still have the driver shaft part number in their inventory however the driver shaft is now obsolete with no replacements shafts being manufactured. I emailed etrailer.com to thank them for their assistance and told them I "struck out" at Lippert. Even at this point they tried to find the part elsewhere but unfortunately to no avail. I highly recommend etrailer.com. Great company!
The item works better then the original and will probably out last the trailer, will definitely buy other products from etrailer.com Thank you
Way better than original part. Thanks
Part was exactly what I needed fast shipping easy to communicate with very helpful
Easy to order, but took about a week to get shipped. After I ordered the part I could not see if it would arrive before my vacation. I called and talked with Michele and she assured me that if it hadn’t shipped on a certain date to call her direct line and we would change the shipping to insure delivery in time. I called her and left a message after it had shipped out and didn’t realize it had a estimated delivery date on the email. She promptly called me back and made sure I was satisfied with the arrival date, and I was. The part arrived as scheduled. I would have given 5 stars if I could have known up front before I ordered it what the delivery date was going to be instead of gambling on which delivery option to choose. I will do business with you again.
Ordered a motor also. Put them on the trailer and now I find I need to order the gears. Will order when i find part number.
Right off the bat this replacement is made from metal. Original was a plastic piece. No wonder it failed. I will be putting the replacement part in this weekend. I will try to update my project when completed
Great upgrade from the original gearbox!
etrailer was great they had what I needed and it was delivered in 2 days. I will definitely do business with them again.
Great quality product needs better packaging it was comeing out of the box it was just bouncing around in the box sorry about that.
Gearbox was made better then the plastic one I replaced. Came with all the hardware needed to install it. Got it 3 days after I ordered it. Caroline B was really help full taking my order.
Lippert landing gear gearbox is still working perfectly after one year. God bless.
Lee G - 05/22/2020I am very pleased with the gear box! Installation was very easy. I highly recommend this product. I would like to give a shout out to etrailer for their great service.
The part fit just right and works well. After one year it still works great.
Jim P - 08/02/2021It seems to function okay, just wanted something a bit more sturdy.
Good quality part! It is made of aluminum which is better than the original which was made of plastic. Easy to install.
Installed new gearbox nice and easy. Fit on perfect with no issues, and works great. Thank you for the trailer parts!
etrailer has been the best. They have the parts, know the parts, and ship them so fast. I can't recommend them enough
Product was an upgrade from original. Part was same shape but new one was metal versus the old plastic one that broke. Has worked well since. Repair forced me to learn about various landing gears and gave me an opportunity to service my own. Heavy lifter no doubt. Wish I had a double motor setup but whatever.
replacement came fast; great job. the landing gear shaft was bent. we had to straighten it out to make it work. it now works fine.
Charles B - 06/09/2020Bought replacement gear box for my Venture M-9000 landing gear motor part # LG-179015. This was my first experience with etailer and I was impressed with the Q&A That helped me diagnose the problem to recommending the the part and number. The videos and reviews helped me to decide that this was a project I could do and what tricks and problems others encountered. The project took about 2-1/2 hours and the only problems I had was the screw that came with the spacer, stripped as I was putting it in and I had to file the burrs off the shaft. The landing gear works and jacks retract and extend. I still have clicking or knocking sound coming from that area and the motor sounds very labored. Any ideas?
Fit perfectly, just put it on and is working fine.
Shannon - 06/05/2021Product was a perfect fit and excellent replacement for the factory plastic design. It has functioned flawlessly since installation. By the way installation was very simple and completed in less than 15 minutes.
Cliff - 06/22/2019I bought an older 5th wheel camper that needed some work. I was happy to find etrailer that had replacement parts. Delivery was fast and the parts are exact replacements for what I need. I appreciate the follow-up email as well. My leveling jacks are back doing their job. I'm probably going to order the tailgate I found for my truck next!
