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.
