There should be a metal channel running from front to back down the center if the trailer under the bottom of the trailer. There will be a pipe coming from each corner and connecting to this channel. Disconnect the four pipes from the center channel. In each pipe will be a heavy gauge spring type pusher (this is what actually raises the roof), pull each of these out of the center channel. Next you will need to remove the rear pulley from the bracket. This should be accomplished by pulling a hairpin keeper which will then allow the center clevis pin to be removed which will free the pulley. Next you will disconnect the cable from the winch drum. Now you will pull the cable free from the lower half of the center channel (If you look into the channel you will see that there is an upper and lower section). Once the cable is free from the lower section you will pull the cable free from the upper section. NOTE: The cable will be covered in grease and will be messy. Were rubber mechanics gloves or use rags to minimize the amount of grease on your hands and clothes. Now you are ready to install the new cable. Feed the cable through the upper portion of the center channel once it has cleared the rear end of the channel start to feed it into the lower channel. Now you can reinstall the lower channel push springs. This will help to determine how much cable should be in the channel. Next install the upper push springs. Now you can reinstall the rear pulley and last you can connect the new cable to the winch drum. The new cable will have a crimped lock with an oval washer at the end and another in the middle which will engage the push springs. The entire process should take about an hour and a half (rough estimate based on having a clean work shop, the proper tools and some mechanical abilities). Do NOT attempt to fabricate your own cable! It could lead to someone being seriously injured. If you need the main cable email me the year, make, model and overall length of the camper and I can get you a price. [email protected]

How do you empty the fresh water tank on a Jayco Jay 806 popup? There seems to be no low point valves.

Look underneath the camper for a drain valve. Never seen a Jayco without a factory installed drain valve.

What is the amperage for a 2009 Fleetwood Westlake Destiny?

Pop up campers are going to either be a 20A or 30A. If the cord on the camper looks like a standard house plug, it is 20A. If it is a larger, round connector, this will a 30A plug. The good thing about these various plugs is that they will only fit in the right connectors on the electrical pole at your campsite. So just plug it in where it fits. If you need to replace the cord, look at your campers fuse panel and see what the main fuse is rated for.

How to light the oven on a wedgewood t-2122 in a1970's popup camper

Use a long neck lighter. Place the flame under the oven's thermocouple, then turn the oven to "pilot" or "light" until the flame will stay on.
Once lit, turn to the desired temperature and enjoy. Make sure you have a fresh air supply such as a roof vent open, along with your hood fan running anytime you cook with gas indoors.

I want to replace canvas on jayco camper

take the camper to a jayco service center and get the correct replacement items for that camper
then it is a matter of removing all the fitting strips to allow removal of the old canvas and the fitment of the new items
a clue her is to when the new canvas id fitted is to leave the camper opened up and to wet the new canvas with silicon fluid and allow it to dry put before folding it away
why , it stops water coming through the canvas when touched in the rain and prevents mould if folded away when wet

What is the part called that is sewn into the bottom of the vinyl on a popup camper that attaches the vinyl to the bottom. Also where can I find this product?

Channel slide attachment or snaps. Found on line at camper world or at a local camper world retail store. You could also try to see if the manufacturer is still in operation and get it there.
