Lippert Leveling Motor

I have a 2013 Itasca Sunstar 26he with a burnt out Lippert leveller motor. Would anyone know if there is a better replacement motor costing less than $777.00 USD. on the market. I have taken the old motor apart and the Chinese motor is lacking in quality. I would hate to buy a new motor that I know is already a inferior product.
  • Had to replace ours in May. When it was ordered I was told it would take about six weeks to get it as they were on backorder. Sounds like they are going bad quicker than they can make them.

    Where you able to find an alternative? Or did you get your motor rebuilt? Ours shorted out and needs replacement, could not believe the $777.65 plus tax and s/h for that motor.

    Just about everything is made in China.:B
  • Take it to a local Alternator/Generator repair shop, that specializes in rebuilds and have it rebuilt. Doug
