Replacement Winch for Coachmen & Viking L&W Lift Systems
This is the replacement winch for Coachmen and Viking pop-up campers equipped with the L&W front crank lift system. This winch is the core mechanism that pulls the main lift cable to raise and lower the camper roof. This is a direct replacement for the original floor-mounted winch, which is typically located inside a front cabinet or dinette seat.
IMPORTANT: Cable Not Included
Please be aware that this is the winch assembly only. The main lift cable is sold separately and must be installed onto the new winch during the repair process.
Product Details & Features:
- Direct Replacement: The correct winch for the L&W lift system used in many Coachmen and Viking campers.
- Heavy-Duty Gearing: Built to handle the load of the camper roof.
- Floor & Sidewall Mount: Designed to be bolted to the floor and screwed to the sidewall, just like the original assembly.
- Location: This is the front winch assembly, as shown in the 1998 Eagle Lifter System diagram.
Installation Note: The L&W repair manual provides detailed instructions for replacing the winch. When replacing your winch, it is the perfect opportunity to inspect your main lift cable for any signs of fraying or wear.
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.
