L&W repair guide

The post sits in the camper's corner wall pocket. The floor track and curved guide carry the push spring up inside it to lift the roof.

L&W lift post installed inside a pop-up camper wall A raised pop-up camper has its near sidewall and cabinet face cut away. The corner lift post runs from a pocket inside the body to the roof. A flexible push spring follows the floor track, curves upward at the corner, and enters the post. An elongated slotted drive slug lies inside the horizontal track behind the spring. A separate enlarged wall section shows the concealed parts. Numbered labels identify the installed components. 12345 SIDEWALL & CABINET FACE CUT AWAY The lift post continues down inside the camper body.

ACTUAL REPLACEMENT PART

Recognize your lift post

Count every telescoping section, including the outer base.

2-stage
1Base

1 moving section
+ 1 base = 2 stages

3-stage
21Base

2 moving sections
+ 1 base = 3 stages

4-stage
321Base

3 moving sections
+ 1 base = 4 stages

Stage count identifies the type. Post length, mounting points, and camper details must also match. Do not raise a damaged lift system just to count sections.

Match the actual lift hardware

A model name alone does not establish track size or post fit. Compare these details with the original part.
