Replacement Slide Out Motor for 2005 Fleetwood Discover 35H
Updated 01/05/2026 | Published 09/09/2024 >
Question:
I have a 2005 Fleetwood Discovery 35H. In 2016 I replaced the slide motor with the same as the original, part 500790. That replacement motor is showing signs of failing now. I’ve never comfortable with its performance as it seems to just barely get the job done. Most of the time, I have to press the “close” button multiple times and it’s getting worse. Is there a motor I could use that is more powerful?

Hey Patrick, I was able to determine that your Fleetwood part number of 500790 is same as 523900 which we know our replacement # LC368417 is correct for. We do not have a higher rated motor available at this time.
