Custom-Made Main Cable with Harness Block for Jayco L&W Systems

This is the complete, custom-made main pull cable assembly for Coachmen/Viking pop-up campers with the L&W lift system. This is the heavy-duty 3/16-inch cable that connects the winch to the 2x2 harness block (also called the harness square), doing all the primary pulling for the roof lift. This is a special-order item; please read the ordering instructions carefully.

Important Lead Time & Policy

  • Custom-Made Item: As this cable is made to your specific camper's dimensions, it is non-returnable and non-refundable. Please ensure your information is accurate.
  • Manufacturing Lead Time: Please allow up to 1 week for your custom cable assembly to be manufactured before it ships.

HOW TO ORDER: Required Camper Information

To ensure your new cable is the correct length, you must provide the following information using the required fields on this page:

  1. Year of your Coachmen/Viking camper
  2. Make ( Coachmen/Viking)
  3. Model of your camper

IMPORTANT: You must provide the specific model name or number (e.g., "12SO", "14SO"). "Clipper" is a series, not a model, and is not specific enough for ordering. Missing or incorrect model information will delay your order.

Product Details:

This product is a complete main cable assembly that includes:

  • One (1) 3/16" main lift cable cut to the proper length.
  • The 2x2 steel harness block (harness square) pre-installed.
  • The necessary needle bearing and flat washers between the cable crimp and the block.
Installation: Replacing the 3/16" Main Cable

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.

  1. Raise the roof and brace it securely; remove the winch cover.
  2. Crank the winch down 4–5 turns to create slack.
  3. Remove the cable keeper nut and bolt from the side of the winch spool and unwrap the old cable.
  4. Pull the cable back through the harness square (2"×2" steel block) to remove it.
  5. Thread the new cable through the harness square, ensuring the needle bearing and washers are in place between the crimp and the block.
  6. Thread the cable through the winch spool and reattach with the cable keeper.
  7. Crank the winch to the up position while holding tension on the cable. Ensure at least two wraps of cable remain on the spool when the roof is fully down.
  8. Reassemble and adjust the final roof height.
