Slide-Out Motor Replacement for FOREST RIVER SUNSEEKER I’ve got a Lippert IG-42 motor sitting on my bench right now that came out of a 2019 Sunseeker — the shaft coupling is visibly stripped where it mated to the gear mechanism, the plastic housing around the connector has stress cracks, and the brushes inside are worn … Read more

Water Pump Replacement for FOREST RIVER SUNSEEKER “Drew, my Sunseeker’s pump just quit on me — I turned the faucet and got nothing.

Roof Leak Repair and Resealing for FOREST RIVER SUNSEEKER I’m on top of a Sunseeker right now with my hands in a delaminated seam, and what I’m looking at is textbook for this model: the factory sealant cracked somewhere around mile 30,000, water got behind it months ago, and now the plywood substrate is soft … Read more

Water Pump Replacement for FOREST RIVER SOLERA A dealer quoted me $680 last month to swap a failed water pump on a Solera that rolled into a lot where I was parked—$140 in parts, $540 in labor, plus a week-long wait for the service bay to open up.
