Installation: Replacing a Lifter Cable (1982 & Older Tongue-Winch System)
Safety: Care must be taken during the entire procedure not to dislodge the support stud. Lower the upper door whenever the camper top is raised.
- Era check: this procedure is for the older system — a tongue-mounted winch with ONE main cable to a 4-way yoke. If your winch has FOUR cables with turnbuckles, use the 1985–2000 guide instead.
- Cut a 42" 2×4 support stud. Release the four roof hold-down latches and raise the hard top (assistance may be needed if the cable is badly frayed or broken).
- Raise the unit front for access to the yoke assembly; place jack stands under the front corners of the main frame. Wedge the support stud firmly under the corner the damaged cable leads to, and lock the winch.
- Lower the roof 3"–4" onto the stud. Remove the lifter cable eyebolt from the yoke underneath the unit and cut the cable behind the clamp so it will thread through the pulleys and out of the frame.
- Pull out the bunk assembly; from inside the unit remove the lifter cover and bottom plate (you may need to remove drawers, seat tops, etc.).
- Free the base pulley nut just enough to spread the pulley sides apart, remove the 1/4" bolt attaching the cable loop to the lifter, and slip the old cable out through the spread pulley.
- For an inside cable, continue with lifter channel disassembly per the guide (steps 10–16).
- Install the new cable per the guide’s installation sequence — note the mounting difference: right-front/left-rear cables mount differently than left-front/right-rear (see Figure 5-12 on the guide).
- The outside cable loop must point DOWN. Test by pulling the cable from under the unit — the lifter assembly should rise.
