Part details
Winch Tube with Nut for Viking/Coachmen L&W Systems
This is a replacement winch tube with its securing nut for the winch on Viking and Coachmen pop-up campers with the L&W lift system. This is the component that the crank handle attaches to, and it is responsible for transferring the rotational force from the handle to the internal gears of the winch.
A worn or stripped winch tube is a common point of failure. If your crank handle slips, wobbles, or fails to engage the winch, it's often a sign that the socket on the winch tube has been rounded out or damaged. This assembly restores a solid, positive connection between your crank handle and the winch.
Product Details:
- Function: Connects the crank handle to the winch drive mechanism.
- Includes: Winch tube and securing nut.
- Compatibility: For L&W system winches, commonly found on Viking and Coachmen campers.
- Verification: Please visually compare your existing winch tube to the product photos to ensure a correct match.
- Sold as a complete assembly.
Installation: Replacing the L&W Winch
Safety: Prop the roof with solid supports before servicing. After any repair, raise and lower the roof several times and confirm the door seats properly.
- Raise the roof and brace it securely.
- Remove the winch cover (typically inside a cabinet or dinette seat).
- Crank the winch down 4–5 turns to create slack.
- Remove the nuts from the eyebolts on the harness square.
- Remove the bolts holding the winch to the floor and the screws holding it to the sidewall; remove the old winch.
- Install the main cable onto the new winch, then place the new winch in the unit.
- Reverse the previous steps to reassemble and adjust the final roof height.
Keep the brake pad dry — oil or grease on the pad causes the roof to slip.
