I was afraid the new motor would not work, I was back and forth on it myself. I do believe yours looks a little worse than mine did, and it was still holding water.

I have a 2006 diplomat. What are the chances that I am changing my otd motor today. What a miserable job. You are correct, a direct replacement is not available, although Amazon is loaded with them. This is a very common motor. The difference I see is the replacement motor/ gearbox does not have the cast mounting standoffs like the original and will require shimming the bolts for the proper mounting. Assuming yours is like mine, there is some type of bastard aluminum gear/coupler attached to the original motor. This was easily removed and should reattach to the new motor. Frankly, it looks like Carefree used a hodgepodge of Parts when they were building this model. You will have to replace the three mounting bolts, and use steel spacers accordingly. These are easily available at any hardware store. The best I can tell, is this will work. It's worth a $39 try on amazon and I ordered it today and it will be here tomorrow. Don't take my word for it, do your due diligence. I'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow.
Sounds exactly like the same setup as mine. Hope it works out. As bad as mine looked internally I know it won't last. I did try and make it water tight when I reinstalled it.

Well I have managed to drain the water and cleanup all the rusted internal parts and got the motor to run again. I realize this is probably not a long term solution, but it does work as it's designed to for now. I am going to continue the hunt for a new motor.

No sir mine is older it is external, mounted on the end of the tube.

I am trying to find a motor for the old style awning. Carefree says they no longer have the motor available. Has anyone been able to cross it over to another motor. It appears to be a windshield wiper motor, but I'm having no luck finding something I can retrofit.

I've looked high and low for these things. I would love to get 12 for the drivers side and 14 for the passenger side.
Thanks Tim

I have 2006 Monaco Windsor, tried to lock the door and bay doors with the keypad but they will not lock. Used the key fob and it will lock and unlock both entry door and bay doors just fine. The keypad will also unlock both sets of doors as it should. The keypad beeps when the keys are pushed and sounds like it always has. I'm at a loss on this one, any ideas?

Yes the numbers on the motor are Bosch 058 06 01 1611 and 390 251 687 CHP 11v. I also have the aluminum gear welded to a square coupler.
Hope this helps. I have not seen a wiper motor that has a straight splined shaft or with a gear on it. the window regulator motors seem to be more likely to have a gear on them.
