I saw him live briefly, he said he couldn't get the trailer lift up (probably broken). I found a page explaining some of the lifting mechanisms pop-up trailers use/used including Colemans: http://www.customcylindersintinc.com/article/understanding-camping-trailers-roof-lift-systems "The Coleman lift system does not connect directly to the cable. the crank connects to a shaft that transmits movement through a chain linkage to a threaded rod. the threaded rod goes through the center of a distribution block that is captured in a track that keeps it straight and in alignment with the outgoing cables. When the crank is turned in one direction or the other, it turns the threaded rod that moves the distribution block forward or backwards in the channel. The outgoing cables are routed through a series of pulleys that are located in the body of the vehicle and inside the large telescoping tubes located at each corner of the roof. In summary, the rotation of the crank is transmitt4ed through a chain to turn the threaded rod that moves the distribution block, thereby causing the cables to extend or retract the telescoping tubes that raises or lowers the roof. MAINTENANCE: The system should be lubricated at the beginning of each season. The pulleys and lift height adjustment should be lubricated very sparingly with silicone spray."  edit: I guess it's important to know: does one corner only not raise? Does only one corner raise? Is the cranking mechanism really loving stiff and hard to turn? One of the former would be one or multiple broken cable, but if at least one corner raises, then the cranking mechanism works. If it's super stiff it needs to be lubed. stevobob fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Sep 9, 2017 |

DICK DICER posted:It doesnt raise at all on all 4 and makes noise near the worm gear Probably the "distribution block", or the anchor for all the cables that the threaded rod goes through, is stripped out and the threaded rod just spins inside it. I'm trying to figure out a safe alternative to the threaded rod - if you can brace the jack horizontally against the center spar if the trailer frame, facing forward of the trailer, and you can secure the "distribution block" to the head of the jack maybe you can jack it up that way? I made a lovely mspaint to compliment my lovely description  edit: image depicts a bottle jack but a scissor jack should work too probably, and be "safer", since the friction of the threaded rod will make it more similar to the original mechanism

I know you're only using the center of your shelter roof (which is not sturdy) to raise the thing so you can block it up properly. I know this.

DICK DICER posted:Okay so pretending the hitch is the "front grill," we have total slack on LF, RF, and LR cables. RR cable is tight and under tension. Well presumably the distribution block cracked and three of the four cables were released, because no way could have 3 of the 4 cables broken at the same time. How much does the top weigh? If the distribution block is the problem, and the threaded rod isn't stripped, and the RR corner still seems to want to raise/lower, maybe you could secure the other 3 cables to the block somehow just to get it up. Once it's up you should probably find a way to hold up the LF corner (opposite to the one cable that works), or even better, all four corners.

DICK DICER posted:Theres some sort of hosed up bent little ratchet key metal piece that fell out of the central crank, no noise any more and it feels like its freewheeeling. The two crank spots are still connected to each other From the little diagram: when you say freewheeling, like, there is no chain connection between the crank and the bottom center "axle"?

All four cables being slack is GOOD. That means that if you can rig up the lift mechanism it should lift all four corners.

If one corner was jammed, the distribution block is probably stripped of its threads from cranking on it, is my guess.

Do you have a year and model for the trailer? Maybe we can look up parts for it. If we're lucky, it'll be an easy fix (lol nothing is ever)

That took no time at all! Also none of the videos showed anything mechanical. It kept disconnecting. The key might be under the trailer from when you were on the ground?
