The video was running really long so I made it 2 parts, but I really wanted to do a very detailed DIYer video on this one.

Great video, water heater burst, no temp/pressure relief.

@leighatkinson5726 2 года назад

(Do not weld ibolts )cables will break. easier to replace ibolts than a cables that will snap and cause more damage.. from Australia 🇦🇺

Busted water heater. I was so glad to see this as it is the exact camper as I have. I’m just worried about if I have to take out the shower and commode if I have to get to something behind it I haven’t checked out the tubes on that side yet

It's a pretty ingenious system

@billking3290 3 года назад

Enjoyed the video. Looked like a small hornets nest was started near where you were working on the cables. Oh and I can see the last guy who worked on the water tank forgot to close up the tank where he opened it up to remove all the ice from inside it 🤣 - LOL. Nothing duct tape and JB weld can't fix. 😉. Not! Lol

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

Yes on the bees nest. Didn't even see it till I was editing. Forgot to close it when he got the ice out, good one Bill.

Great Constructed video....I have a 2002 jayco pop up...had to do a quick repair a few years ago...found your video and in the fall i am going to redo all my cables with bigger eye bolts and get ger level on all 4 sides...are the lenght on the ryebolts 4 inchs....do you have a video on canvas replacement?

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

4 inches sounds about right. The longest ones that Lowes has. No sorry, no canvas replacement videos.

@chefedecioluboravelo7982 2 года назад

If I wanted to replace all the cables and do maintenance, what would the approximate cost of that work be?

@hillbillyrv 2 года назад

Labor is $720. New cables and eye bolts $100. If there is any rotten floor there will be more labor if any brackets or pulleys are damaged there will be more parts cost.

Just got a dutchman 1003 I'm going to put solid walls on it. I'm wondering if the lift system is worth selling it works good. Thanks for your time enjoyed the video's.

Thanks for watching. I couldn't imagine selling the lift mechanism, but who knows....if you find the right person. Good luck

@CelticsUnion Год назад

how is the cable end installed in the lifting metal sticks ? it ends on part 1 and i didnt see where you put the other end in

@hillbillyrv Год назад

Watch both episodes. I am pretty sure I show the whole process. I also have another video on the same repair. Watch that video also.

@petersuhmann7742 Год назад

What size steal tubing did you use for the welding and pulley. I can’t find the exact size, so plan to go a little bigger. Like 1/16 bigger. I don’t see that being an issue, but we will find out.

@hillbillyrv Год назад

I don’t remember. I just happened to have some the same size.

@petersuhmann7742 Год назад

@@hillbillyrv Well, followed your video and built the same spring rail. I added the extra steel per your recommendation. Perfect. Thanks for the video

@rinaromero6743 3 года назад

Great video! Does the pop up need to be raised to a certain height to replace the cables? Are the cable supposed to have the same tension at all times even when lowered?

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

It's best to have it pretty close to normal raised height. I don't worry about the amount of tension, just that all 4 corners are the right height. Thanks for watching

@mandiepw Год назад

How high is it suppose to be? We are having the issue but don’t know how high to set it

What length eye bolts do you use?

@hillbillyrv Год назад

Not sure. I get them at Lowe’s. Probably the longest 5/16 eye bolts they have.

@chefedecioluboravelo7982 2 года назад

hello, excellent greetings all your videos very professional! I have fleetwood 2005 in its title, I confess that I am new to this, a rear cable broke or loose and I want to repair you, where do you have your workshop?

@annamilner4674 3 года назад

How do I figure out how much cable to cut per side?

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

You get the cable completely ran through all the pulleys and brackets and pre load it as much as you can. Crimp the ferrule and then cut off the excess. If that is not shown in this video, I have other popup recable videos. Check those out too.

@annamilner4674 3 года назад

@@hillbillyrv how much do I buy at lowes?

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

@@annamilner4674 Once all the cables are exposed you just kinda measure it and then guess how much you need. Or that is how I do it.

@paulsimon5248 27 дней назад

The eyes are not welded so you straighten an eyelet instead of braking a cable.but each to there own

@hillbillyrv 27 дней назад

@trikebum5 2 года назад

Not everyone has a hydraulic crimper and we wanted to see how you did it hoping you had a method everyone could use.

@hillbillyrv 2 года назад

You still have to buy some special tools if you are going to make your own cables. Here is one of my earlier videos where we use a manual crimper. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lHRwh8-Y1q8.html
