Pop Up Camper Cable Broke

I used a spanner but a socket would have probably been a bit easier.

Pop up camper cable broke.

Replacing the lift cables in a jayco pop up camper is simple but labor intensive. Spray the patched area with a waterproof silicon spray or wax. Jayco camping trailers which first came on the market in 1968 use a winch and a system of cables pulleys drive slugs flexible push rod springs and telescoping posts to raise and lower the roof. The cable system operates on a single winch.

Sure hope this helps you find resolution to the problem. The handle turns but it dont lift. The lifting crank mechanism needs repaired. Cranking the winch handle pulls the cable through the pulleys and lifts a rod on each corner.

Rub a waterproof wax or use a fabric waterproofing spray on the canvas. First i raised the top using a 6foot 2x2 and a hydraulic jack carefully winching a little the raising the broken corner so it was all level. Is there a manual. Most do it yourselfers can.

I am getting a jayco pop up camper. Most do it yourselfers can repair jayco camper cables with minimal. In most models of pop up campers the roof has to be lifted popped up or raised before the vehicle can be used this is done using a lifting system composed of winches cables springs and pulleys. However there are different types of camper lifting systems depending on the brand and model even though the earlier versions are basically lifted using a simple system composed of a cable.

This gives you a nice clear view of the winch and main cable assembly. Here s the broken cable that stopped our jayco from winding up. Undo the nut holding the cable to the winch. The winch sits on the front and controls a separate cable for each corner of the trailer.

When the roof lift system fails the problem is usually a broken cable or cable attachment. Occasionally the canvas of the pop up camper may need to be waterproofed. When the roof lift system fails the problem is usually a broken cable or cable attachment. I broke the left front cable on my 96 starcraft pop up.
