In regards to landing gear legs, the motor is attached to the gear box which then mounts to the output shaft of the leg. The output shaft will need to have a half-moon shape like the Lippert Components 32" Lead 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Leg part # LC179013 in order for this to work. If so you can use a gear box like the Replacement Gearbox part # RVLG-RDBOX to attach a motor.

If you have a different type of leg then we likely don't have any way to attach a motor but a photo would also help clarify.
