Replacement Landing Gear Motor for a 2008 Forest River Sierra Fifth Wheel
Published 09/13/2021
Question:
Good morning, I have a 2008 Forest River Sierra Fifth Wheel and am in need of a new landing gear motor. Can you all steer me in the direction on the motor that is required. Thank you and have a great day.

There will be two options for replacing the motor on your 2008 Forest River Sierra Fifth Wheel's landing gear. I couldn't find any information on which exact one you will have, so it will be necessary for you to measure your current motor.
With that being said, you will need to measure from center to center of the mounting posts diagonally. If you end up getting 4-3/16 inches, you will need the Stromberg Carlson Replacement Motor for 6,500 lbs Electric Landing Gear # LG-196308. However, if you get 4-1/8 inches, you will need the Lippert Venture 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Motor # LC142178.
If you get a different measurement, let me know and I can see if we have a better fit.
