Slide out motor

Different motors, wiring configurations, etc.

I have replaced two, one cracked and fell off.

I was told to replace it with the exact part number.

There are at least two different gear ratios.

Wiring not the issue it's a Power Gear motor with gear assembly attached PN 524664 Has anybody replaced this motor. It's the bedroom slide on a National Sea Breeze 35 ft class A.The price for this is $750.00. Other motors with the same gear assembly $350.00. I understand the gear ratio is possibly different.

You need to get the motor number off the one you have.

I have the number, I guess my not explaining it correctly.The part number is 524664 their wanting 750.00 for a replacement part. There are many others alot cheaper with the same application I have.Can I use any of these others that are $400.00 cheaper.

I would call these people Colaw. They have a good selection of new and used components at reasonable prices.
Search shows your model as Power Gear exclusive.

I found one on fleabay for $399 (new) linkaroonie

I also found that this is the newer replacement for that motor assembly and it's only $350 P/N 523900

The reason for the different P/n and motors and transmissions is, EACH slide rack has different parameters. The torque rating and RPM of the CORRECT slide/trans is important for the operation of the slide rack system. I have never swapped another motor/trans in place of the correct one. I HAVE replaced Incorrect Powergear motor/trans because another service center tried to adapt and the motor/trans was not strong enough for the application. If you can get your money back and spend 1/2 price, it would not hurt to try the cheaper motor. Doug

I bought a motor that was not made by Power Gear to replace my old motor. This was claimed to be a replacement equal to Power Gear. I have a large slide out that includes the refrigerator and requires the largest slide motor they make. It seamed weak and would not retract the slide if my wife sat on the couch. The new motor was several hundred dollars cheaper and weaker. I opened up the gear box on the Power Gear unit (read the warnings; Power Gear recommends that you never do this), removed all the gears, cleaned them, checked for wear and damage, then put them back back in with fresh grease. I reinstalled the Power Gear motor on the slide out.It seamed to work a little better. You need good electrical connections and good batteries for it to work at its best. I would stick with Power Gear Motors.

It’s a gamble. Are you a gambler?

I can’t do my own work so I have to pay someone. If I go to a dealer and he puts the wrong one on or it fails under warranty I’m covered.

If you do your own work the gamble might work out.
