Did you let the bearing innards fall out? I dropped an open Jeep transfer case on the grass once (rebuilding it after the internal differential had exploded and shattered the case). All the needle bearings fell apart. I found ... most of the rollers, and it ran like a champ for a year until I got a replacement gearbox. gently caress the bearings, the camper roof has to go up and down once, you don't really need bearings for that.

Um he's not staying there forever and will have to move it to wherever he's going to camp next. And if he needs to sell it down the road it's going to need to work correctly, might as well get it working right now.

Dave, pro pop up tip, if u can get some reflectix or similar insulation sheets you can cut them to fit between the screen and flap for some added insulation.

Bad Angus! Bad!
The bearings are presumably already hosed, I was just saying "it'll still work well enough even if it's missing some bits." Resale value is not a consideration at this point -- if he gets to the point of selling it, he'll have fixed it proper. But to make it work right now to survive the Nebraska winter, the bearings don't really need all the rollers as long as he can crank the thing up to make a somewhat sturdier heated tent, as opposed to the regular tent he has now.

I'm the pizza goon, and I'm loving broke from fixing my own busted poo poo (Vortec intake gaskets :argh:). But if anyone else wants to get him a pizza, the number is 402-376-3303, they take credit cards over the phone, tell them it's a dine-in for Dave Blomquist. I've been getting him a stuffed Hawaiian and a large soft drink.

Oh don't feel guilty at all, someone else did help me out. And then a package of kippered herring, sardines, marmite, and the Queen arrived and turns out I like sardines. I also like draining the sardine can directly into my open and waiting backpack. Today a soup and drinks package showed up from Amazon, so I've got liquids covered and thank you to the dude who sent like a thousand cans of cherry coke. And now I've got nicotine and tools are arriving tomorrow so I can safely say i won't be busy doing a god drat thing for another week until supplies run out and I decide to cut up my debit card whenever it shows up just because I love this hosed up merry go round and never want off.

I was thinking about how to make a bike working stand out of the cherry picker and some of the trunk mount bike racks that are lying around here and then I thought about how tremeks bike would look strapped up on there and then also to the front of the trailer and then all I could hear was "Organic, his job is Parts bag" and might have started drooling a little

Okay so I need instructions specifically how to remove a corner post in entirety as I'm finding cables off rollers, wedged in between slider blocks, poo poo is all hosed and the only way out is worry about the distributioon block later, I need to remove everything, free and lube, inspect cables for damage (every one so far at the very least has multiple significant kinks) and reassemble.

That doesn't surprise me, from looking at the diagram. Seems like lifting the corners manually, without taking up the cable slack under the trailer, is going to gently caress things up a lot.


Are you trying to warm up the trailer? Does the furnace or the stove work?

Possibly, I've got power at the main breaker panel at the rear but nowhere else yet it seems. And I'm measuring the effectiveness of a citronella keep bugs away candle by the number average of dead bugs floating in the wax per hour

There's no paracetamol in the US
