Compare Lippert electric through-frame slide-out actuators, replacement motors and related controls. The factory drawing and product photos distinguish complete motor-and-actuator assemblies from separate drive motors, switches and controllers.
Lippert through-frame actuator assembly illustration
In this Lippert 2×2 electric through-frame example, the long actuator connects the drive motor to the slide mechanism. The drawing also identifies the room bar, gear pack, stop can, cross shaft and inner and outer arms. Other through-frame versions have different drive arrangements, and this illustration does not establish which actuator or motor fits your RV.
Actuator and motor comparison
The groups show different replacement-part types, not interchangeable assemblies. Verify installation and wiring against the original Lippert documentation.
Replacement-part photographs
The four product photographs link to individual replacement parts. Controllers and wall switches vary with the slide-out system and are not included with every actuator or motor.
