Replacement Whiffletree Assembly for Coleman Lift Systems
Restore smooth and reliable lift performance with this high-quality replacement whiffletree assembly for Coleman and Fleetwood pop-up campers. This component is the heart of your lift system, distributing cable tension evenly to raise and lower all four corner lift posts in sync.
Our updated design maintains full compatibility with original systems while offering a few key improvements:
- Finer Threading for Smooth Operation: The central drive rod features finer threads than some original versions. This may require more turns of the crank, but provides a smoother and more controlled lift experience.
- Built-In Self-Braking Mechanism: Thanks to the fine-thread design, the roof will not lower on its own. You must crank it down manually, preventing unexpected drops and enhancing overall safety.
- Eliminates Ratchet Mechanism Issues: The self-braking action removes the need for the original clutch or ratchet system. If your factory ratchet pawl is broken or unreliable, this upgrade fully resolves that problem.
IMPORTANT: How to Order the Correct Size
To ensure a perfect fit, you must provide the overall length of your current whiffletree's main rod.
- Step 1: Completely remove the threaded rod from your old whiffletree assembly.
- Step 2: Measure the total length of the rod from end to end.
- Step 3: Please include this exact measurement in the pulldown when checking out.
Installation: Whiffletree Removal & Replacement
Safety: Support the roof with solid props before servicing; the whiffletree is under load from the lift system.
- Confirm your whiffletree type first — Acme vs. ball-bearing versions are not interchangeable (specifications tables are in the guide).
- Follow the step-by-step Whiffletree Removal & Replacement procedure in the guide, which covers the tools required, roll-pin removal, and reinstallation.
- After installation, verify thrust-bearing alignment and adjust the chain to proper tension (1"–1½" gap between chain halves — do not over-tighten).
