Flagstaff & Rockwood: Goshen & Lift Identification Notes

Use these notes with the camper’s factory label and physical lift hardware. They help resolve identification questions; they are not a complete model catalog or a parts-compatibility guarantee.

Keep the model complete

Numbers such as 206, 206BH and 206LTD show why a shared number is not a complete model identity. Copy the suffix from the factory label instead of selecting a nearby brochure entry.

Confirm the lift mechanism

Older chain-and-spring equipment and later Goshen installations require different repair information. Inspect the drive path and central assembly. A rear crank needs investigation; it is not enough by itself to identify IDT or exclude every possible Goshen layout.

What to record

Record whether the camper has a front storage compartment and photograph the drive rod or cable route. Keep model identity separate from the lift diagnosis.

• Full factory model, year and VIN or older serial number.
• Winch or drive identification, plus a wide photograph of its route.
• Corner-post shape and any evidence of previous modifications.

If the reference does not match

Do not pick a near match. Compare the Forest River chain & spring guide and the lift identification guide. Once Goshen is confirmed, use the measurement worksheet with the manufacturer’s current reference points if model records remain uncertain.

Retain labelled photographs and confirmed measurements together. Do not measure by releasing loaded components or crawl beneath an unsupported camper.
