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.

Hey Patrick, did the replacement motor end up working better for your Fleetwood Discovery? Knowing how it performed could help others dealing with the same slide-out issue.

I still have the slide motor that I installed in 2016. I'm happy to say that it's still working but, as I said before, it's underpowered and it usually takes several (sometimes a dozen or more) pushes of the slide switch to retract the slide. I'm currently selling the motorhome and am no longer interested in replacing the underpowered motor. I hope it lasts till after the sale.
