Lift Post Tie Bar for Goshen Systems
This is a replacement Tie Bar for pop-up campers equipped with the Goshen lift system. This structural bar connects the two corner lift posts at either the front or rear of the camper, holding them in perfect alignment and ensuring they move in sync.
The proper spacing and parallel alignment of the lift posts are critical for the entire system to operate smoothly. This tie bar ensures that spacing is maintained, preventing the posts from splaying out or pinching inward under the load of the roof. If your original tie bar is bent or damaged, it can cause severe binding and stress on other lift components.
Key Features:
- Maintains Crucial Alignment: Locks two corner posts together to ensure they operate in parallel.
- Prevents Binding: A straight tie bar is essential for smooth up-and-down travel of the roof.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from strong steel to provide structural rigidity.
- Direct Replacement Part: Designed specifically for the Goshen lift system.
- Sold Individually: The price listed is for one tie bar.
For Campers Using the Goshen System:
This component is used on a wide variety of pop-up campers from brands such as Skamper, Palomino, Steury, Dutchmen, and others.
Installation: Replacing Goshen Pusher Springs / Spring Tubes
Safety: The roof must be in the DOWN position before beginning, to release pressure from the system. Work one end of the camper at a time. Letter call-outs like (K) refer to the series diagrams on the Goshen guide.
- Remove the tie plate by removing (2) self-tapping screws — see (K) on the guide diagram.
- Remove the two (2) screws attaching the spring tubes to the master tube (L).
- Remove two (2) screws each from the floor plates attaching the spring tubes to the frame.
- Pull the spring (P) out from the bottom of the telescoping posts.
- Pull the spring tube off the spring, then pull the spring assembly (2 springs attached) out of the master tube (L).
- Insert the new spring assembly into the master tube until it reaches the stop. Ensure the cable slides freely between the springs.
- Slide the spring tubes onto the springs (add oil inside the tube if needed).
- Attach the spring tubes to the camper frame corners and reconnect them to the master tube.
- Reattach the tie bar. Repeat for the opposite end if needed.
If you have a Dutchmen unit with a rear-mounted winch, these instructions should be reversed.
