Question:

We have recently started to have problems with our fifth wheel landing gear blowing its fuse. The motor seams to be laboring more that it used to. We removed, disassembled, and cleaned it but it still struggles to lift the trailer. We are looking at replacing the motor with either the Stromberg lg196308 or the Lippert lc196308.
