1995 Coleman Utah pop-up won's stay up

Brought the camper home from storage to prep for the summer, however, when cranking the lever to pop it up, if I let go it just slides back down.
It never did that before, if I stopped cranking it would lock in place. It wont even stay if I put it all the way up, making it unusable.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem on my 1997 Coleman Fleetwood Bayside. I took out the spring pin from the crank shaft using a finishing nail and a hammer. I then put a 9/16th" socket inside to hold the nut in place while I used a pipe wrench on the outside of the crank shaft to turn it about 1/4-turn clockwise. Voila! Now it works.

Coleman bayside 1997 pop up camper, had to remove some motor part related to cranking up. won't stay up unless motor part is put back in. help? female with trouble and wanting to camp this weekend

Sounds like the motor also holds up the top.
can you try to use something loke a broom stick thick piece of wood to hold up the canopy top till you get a chance to get a new motor.
You would prop up the top with a piece of wood right in the same area as the framing.
Tie a piece of string or bungee cord to hold the stick in place,to ensure the top dosent come down on you.
You might need to cut the stick to leanth as well as using more than one piece of wood.
Gool luck,Gary

Have used 1981 Coleman pop-up camper and the mechanism that raises the camper up is stripped. Either need manual for 1981 Coleman pop-up or any idea where to get the part to fix problem. It's the screw...

My Coleman has the same problem. I can crank the top up but it will not hold in place.

I just leave the crank handle in place after raising the top and secure the handle to the bumper with a bungee cord. It's jury rigged but it works great.

Hard to crank up

May sound a bit tacky but all pop ups are a bit tedious to crank up. In the event this IS NOT your first time to own or operate a pup. I apologize and suggest you post your problem on the pop up times and or the pux webpages. Both are reliable sources for people who have pop up up or small campers.

Broken cable in older Coleman pop-up camper...how to replace it? Can't see in body of camper where the cable needs to go through to the posts that raise the top.

This camper uses the Coleman lift system which uses a threaded rod that connects to a tracked distribution block to which all four cables are connected and then routed by pulleys to all four corners of the popup.First raise the popup to it;s full height by using automotive jacks and poles once extended securely clamp the poles to the telescoping up rights This IS SUPER IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY. Next get under the camper find the broken cable unbolt it's routing pulley(s) pass the broken ends out the pulley(s).Next unbolt the end from the distribution block. followed but unbolting the cable from in side the telescoping column;carefully note the routing in side the column. Buy or make up an exact length cable of aircraft grade stainless steel twisted wire cable of the same gauge. Reverse steps to re install,take lowering strain on crank make sure crank handle is captured by anti free wheeling device on camper un clamp poles remove, lower and raise top by crank to ensure smooth working. You're finished.
