Stromberg Carlson Venture landing gear motor LG-142178 — Black, 5,000–5,500 lb capacity, smooth torque

The Stromberg Carlson LG-142178 Venture motor is a 5,000–5,500 lb-rated replacement landing gear motor engineered to restore smooth, reliable operation to Venture, Lippert and Pac‑Rim 5th-wheel jacks.

This heavy-duty black landing gear motor swaps into common 5th-wheel landing gear systems to bring quiet, steady power back to the front jack. Built for RVs, trailers and campers, the unit balances robust construction with a compact footprint so you can return to setup and breakdown faster. The LG-142178 delivers consistent unloaded leg retraction at about 4.25 inches per minute and works with electric leveling jack arrangements for versatile use.
