I am looking for an Atwood RV fifth wheel landing gear motor 71119. I do not see it in your parts list. Also, I need it by 6/26 for an upcoming trip. Thank you,

Bill, since the Atwood 71119 landing gear motor is no longer in production, finding an exact replacement has become pretty difficult. The closest option we offer is the Lippert Components Tuson High Speed 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Motor part # LC141893.

I do want to set the right expectation, though. While this motor is commonly used as a replacement for the Atwood 71119, it is not a direct bolt-on replacement. It does require trimming the mounting tabs down to approximately 3/8 inch to fit the older Atwood landing gear. Once that modification is made, it has worked well for other customers, but I wanted to be upfront that it isn't simply a plug-and-play swap.

I know that's probably not the news you were hoping for, especially with your trip coming up. Since the original 71119 has been discontinued, this is the closest replacement we currently have available.

Out of curiosity, what fifth wheel are you towing, and where are you headed on your upcoming trip?
