DLB800 Winch Assembly with Base & Cable Keeper for Viking/Coachmen
This is a replacement DLB800 winch assembly for Viking and Coachmen pop-up campers with a front-crank L&W lift system. This is the core mechanism that pulls the main lift cable to raise and lower the camper roof. This assembly comes complete with the mounting base and the cable keeper, which secures the main cable to the winch spool.
A winch with stripped gears, a faulty brake mechanism, or a broken base is a critical failure. This complete assembly is a direct replacement for a worn-out or damaged original winch. The L&W repair manual provides detailed instructions for replacing the winch, which is typically located inside a front cabinet or dinette seat and mounts to the floor and sidewall.
Product Details:
- Model: DLB800
- Application: For front-crank L&W lift systems on Viking and Coachmen campers.
- Includes: Winch, mounting base, and cable keeper.
- Function: The main winch for raising and lowering the camper roof.
- Sold as a complete assembly.
Installation: Replacing the L&W Winch
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.
- Raise the roof and brace it securely.
- Remove the winch cover (typically inside a cabinet or dinette seat).
- Crank the winch down 4–5 turns to create slack.
- Remove the nuts from the eyebolts on the harness square.
- Remove the bolts holding the winch to the floor and the screws holding it to the sidewall; remove the old winch.
- Install the main cable onto the new winch, then place the new winch in the unit.
- Reverse the previous steps to reassemble and adjust the final roof height.
Keep the brake pad dry — oil or grease on the pad causes the roof to slip.
