On my unit, it would not be very hard. A Keystone dealer is probably the best place to get the right parts. Posted a pic of my slide motor... hope that helps as I can't figure out brand based on talks with Lippert tech support. Didn't go to Keystone but they likely would have been more help.

I have the same setup and found out a few things when digging into my issue. To order those electric motor replacements it seems knowing the gear ratio is key. I believe mine wise like a 28:1 or 30:1. It was printed on the label. My vendor (LandNSea/Diversified) carries then so if you cant track one down PM me.
I also found that part of the problem was in the rollers that have a gear on outside edge of frame. They were stiff and adding mechanical resistance to the whole show. I think I read somewhere that slide needs supported and the you disassemble and lube with a 30w or 10-30. I just started diligently giving them a dose of wd-40 and they are substantially better. No more popping and creaking as slide moves.
If you are handy with a multimeter I would check power and ground at motor connections. Mine were corroded and causing voltage drop of around .8v, they were crummy wire nuts. Switched for heat shrink butt connectors and everything seems to be working.
