Replacement Long Lift Cable for Coleman/Fleetwood Campers (Pre-1999)
This replacement long lift cable fits most Coleman and Fleetwood pop-up campers manufactured before 1999. These campers used a four-cable whiffletree lift system, where each corner lift post is operated via an individual cable routed from the central whiffletree assembly.
Original factory cables are no longer produced and are no longer available from the OEM. The original design used screw-end fittings that connected directly into the whiffletree bar. Our replacement cable uses a modernized design and does not include pre-attached screw ends. Instead, the cable is designed to loop through standard eye hooks (sold separately), allowing secure attachment to the whiffletree.
CRITICAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION: READ BEFORE ORDERING
This cable is shipped with one end professionally crimped. The second fitting is left unfinished and must be installed after routing the cable through your camper’s frame.
- Installation Process: Route the cable through the frame and pulley system as shown in your lift system diagram. Once routed, use the provided sleeve to secure the loose end.
- Required Tool: A cable swaging (crimping) tool is required to apply a secure and load-rated crimp. Do not attempt to install using pliers or other hand tools.
- Safety Notice: Improper installation can lead to cable failure under load, risking damage or injury. Ensure the final crimp is secure and tested before use.
Important Ordering Information:
Each Coleman camper with a whiffletree system requires four of these long lift cables. This product listing is for one (1) cable. If you are replacing all lift cables, please select a quantity of 4 when ordering.
