I can't believe I found this! Exactly what I've been looking for. Hard to find because my Jayco is even bigger 😮 18' 10" Closed & 23' 8" Open. I have been procrastinating about the cables, now I feel ready and I can tackle this job! It's a little intimidating for me since this is my first camper EVER and doing all the work and remodeling myself. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!

Not sure on video yet, have not been to the site and seen the job. Customer service request just came in. Post production is sitting on 12 videos I already recorded!!!

@MyRVWorks 4 года назад

The customer is hiring us to just get his pop-up roof down and he will take it to a shop that has a lower shop rate than we do. That was my idea I pitched to him to save him some money on the repair. Was not really looking forward to making this complete repair in the field with too many unknowns. With you running into the month delay on your parts from Jayco on this job, and we are having that same issue over here too with production delays and getting parts. Best for me just to get him mobile again eh'. Stay well brother!

A very long video but it explains every detail that can go right and wrong. It was also one of the few videos I watched right through as it was full of the details you need when doing a job like this. Thanks for your dedication to show us how it's done. It looked like it took a while to get it repaired. Jayco are surviving on brand name but the durability is very questionable. The roller brackets looked like you could have remade the bent sides easily out of 2mm(1/8) plate and they would never have bent again. Just a bit of welding,drilling and swaping the roller over. It would have saved time waiting for parts from the dealer. Once again thanks for your great video. I now feel like I'm an expert on the cable system. Cheers from Australia.

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

Hi great video finally understand how it works I have a Jayco Penguin which the previous owner had 1 cable brake due to forgetting to check roof latches when I checked the system after we purchased it found the eyebolts were open and not been replaced so I replaced them, my understanding is the eyebolts are there to act as a fuse if you like (week point) so if there is an issue when winding the roof up the eyebolt fails instead of breaking a cable. I have purchased spare cable and crimping tool for just in case and have the confidence to tackle the job myself if necessary. Thankyou for posting the best video I've found so far on the subject.

@hillbillyrv Год назад

@K3Flyguy Год назад

NIce video! The lift system is quite well thought but i have always thought the system is about half the strength/durability of what it should be. Well done!

It's 04/28/2022. I'm Bob Baird, in Phoenix, AZ. I am very much grateful for your RU-vids on replacing cables in a Jayco popup; mine is a '92' model 1206. I'm almost done, but got one push spring that's jamming a short way up the bottom lift post section. The push spring does not have the top 'rivet' [yet, I must add]: what exactly is the purpose of that bullet-shaped part? Could its lack be a possible cause here? Incidentally, I have a son named Cameron. He's an identical twin, 6' 7", 250 lbs.

Jayco says remove the screws and you are there---wrong. As you showed you may have to remove some cabinets.

All Seasons Mobile RV Service. Went to Lowe’s today. Upgraded the 4 eye bolts. Working on the roof now. The wood is very rotted on the sides. Any suggestions without taking the entire shell apart and off? I was thinking about cutting the sides flush with the top and then just putting new sides which would be secured from the top of the roof and from under the weather stripping. Could you please also recommend a good roll on roof sealant that I can purchase at Lowe’s? I did get a good roof sealer for around all of the molding.

@hillbillyrv 4 года назад

@@anthonypendzich7942 sounds like you have a pretty big job going there. The sides of the top where the legs mount have to be strong enough to support the top. I am not aware of any good roof coatings at lowes, but there are several good RV roof coatings. The RV coatings are like a thick coat of rubber when it cures. Do your homework on coatings, some will adhere to several different surfaces.

There doesn't appear to have much of a margin.

We had to replace our cables on our Jayco 1206 camper. Watched your videos and very helpful, thank you very much. That was a piece of cake and didn't take long at all. But, the cables are getting twisted when we crank it up. Which we have read is a problem and cause the cables to break. We can turn the plate to return it to the proper position untangled, which should mean the torsion bearing are ok. Our crank is on the back on the passenger side as the camper in your video. We were wondering what the order of the cables on the plate should be? The camper in the video is marked as Fronts on the bottom and the rears on the top. This wasn't the pattern used by another owner that provided a suggestion. In your many years of experience have you found there is a set pattern for which cable goes where on the plate?

It is very important to keep the cables parallel and not twisted.

I feel like if you install new cables incorrectly it could easily cause over extension and they could snap again

I apologize you used the eye bolts for adjustment

This may have already been answered but i didn't want to read every single comment. First of all great video and i enjoy all of your videos. A few questions. What size cable? Mine appears to be 1/8 or 5/32. It's tiny but i have a tiny camper. I have a 2001 Jayco that i inherited. It's brand new only been raised 3 times. One cable broke due to rust from a leak. How do i remove the spring? Or do i just slide cable through beside the spring? Should i go ahead and replace all of them due to age?

@hillbillyrv Год назад

I take a piece of the old cable to Lowe's to make sure I get the correct size. I have other popup recable videos. I think if you watch them all, your questions will be answered.

Hi loved the video I was raised in WV moved to KY I'm too working on a jayco replacing the cables . How do you know where to position the block when adding the cables to it? Do you lift the top all the way up ? And have the block in the middle?

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

Yes raise the top pretty much all the way up. I don't know what block you are talking about.

@cracker2801 3 года назад

@@hillbillyrv that all 4 cables are attached to

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

@@cracker2801 I don't know how to explain it, but it just has to be in the right place when you attach all of your cables. If the top is very nearly all the way up then the block needs to be nearly all the to the end of it's stroke.

Thank you so much. I have a 1985 Coleman (Shenandoah) that has multiple damage to the body (my horses kicked a hole, I backed into something and so on) Is there a way to fix the body? There are cracks and in some spots pieces of plastic missing. The camper is restorable ( good tires, lights work, newer canvas, good gas lines and so on) And the cables work great, too.

@hillbillyrv 4 года назад

Sure it can be fixed. You could just cover up the bad parts (cheaper option) or actually take the bad parts off and replace with new. (much more expensive option)

I have a 14 ft single axle pop up 3 Corner pop-up broken one working how do I get all three up

@hillbillyrv 4 года назад

Very carefully. Just kidding. I would definitely recruit a couple of friends. Use jacks or varying lengths of 2X4s and go slowly a little bit at a time. You don't want to get anybody hurt. Please don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks

I just subbed and thumbed...this video was just what I was hoping to find. I have a 1995 Jayco Eagle 12 UDK that we picked up a few summers ago and have only gotten to use twice. I noticed on our last trip that the front of the top lifted before the back, causing the back to grab and stick to the box. After assisting the right rear corner up for the first 3 inches, the top lifted with the crank easily, but once all the way up, the right rear sagged about 2 - 3 inches. I'm assuming my camper has the same cable system as the one in this video since it's a Jayco also. In your experience, do you think the sagging corner is a result of a stretched eye bolt or something worse? I sure hope I don't have to go through the process you did in this video. Thank you for your time.

@hillbillyrv 4 года назад

Thanks Brian. It could be a stretched eye bolt or maybe a bent bracket or maybe one of the pulleys or a bracket is pulling out of the floor. You are going to have to start exposing the lift system to see. Good luck.

1996 Jayco 1207: Since I have one lift post that quick working, assuming broken cable or eye bolt that bent open, I plan to just replace all four cables. I thinking I should also replace the main pull cable and perform some maintenance on the winch. Can I crimp the main cable with a swage/ferrule? Other than lubing all the push springs, what should I do to the manual winch while I'm at it?

@hillbillyrv 3 года назад

Yes on the swage/ferrule. It is probably 3/16 or 1/4 inch cable. I have replace quite a few of them. As far as maintenance on the winch? Just make sure it looks ok. Yes lube pusher springs. You got this Gary B
