How install a new awning rail on a Coleman Popup coated in Grizzly Grip
Переглядів 1,7 тис.2 роки тому
I searched everywhere for answer on how to do this. Got a lot of bunk and so I went to the source and spoke with the people at Grizzly Grip and Gorilla Glue to get the real story.
Update of the roof coating and other things.

Here is an update to the roof coating, the painting of trailer sides, the outside stove refurb, and few other things.
Wow did I find a mess on the front storage box!

This the first of 3 parts going over the brake system of a 2000 Coleman Utah. This one covers the removal of the brake assembly. These systems work with magnets to actuate the brakes and I go over the wiring part of that here also.

There are many videos out there on how to repair the ABS roof on a Coleman popup and most will give you some good incite. The one on the Grizzly Grip website is a good one to watch. I will update this as time goes on.

This is my first endeavor into the UA-cam video posting and I am no expert on the how-to of the process. I hope to simply help others with some answers and to help the overcome/avoid some of trials I encounter along the way.
Hello! Love your front box. Would love to see a tutorial on that. Otherwise what was the sealant you said you used over the grizzly grip? Getting ready to start this project. Link would be great.
Sorry for the slow response, but I was out working as a volunteer at a camp for at risk kids. There was no cell service. The sealer is made by Grizzly Grip grizzlygrip.com/products/1-gallon-waterbase-sealer
Did you just glue the sockets on for the support for the awning to the grizzly grip or screw?
Sockets? It uses a channel that is glued on. No screws.
@@discdog1on the awning arms that connect back to the roof of the camper.
@@capjesse Yes the sockets you are referring to are screwed on. But be careful not to strip them out
did you replace the roof? if so how? ours is cracked and pieces are coming off
No the roof was not replaced. There are 3 layers to those tops. The top layer is the one that normally cracks. If it is cracked all the way through all 3 layers there is a way to fix it. You would plastic weld the inside and then strip off the top layer and re-coat it.
What is the name of the stuff you used for the roof?
Grizzly Grip.
Hows it holding up, 9 months in? Im getting ready to do the same thing and am worried that the weight will tear the grizzly grip off the foam.
It has actually been up for 3 years. I was busy and time got away from me so I was real late putting that up. So 3 years and many trips later and no issues.
@@discdog1 I appreciate your replying. I'll give it a go and hope it holds. Do you have any racks on the roof of your camper? I'm considering solar and looking for mounting points
Yes a bike rack converted to have flat panels to set solar panels on. That is one of 2 winter projects. I will likely post how that goes.@@greatgoogamooga1
This is excellent info, thank you. I have two questions. I used raptor liner that I sprayed on the top when I pulled off the old ABS top. I am assuming that it will still adhere to raptor liner. Secondly, I put a new AC gasket in because I was getting leaking through the roof. I have a sag in my roof and the previous owner bolted some sort of bike rack contraption all the way through the roof and I think that leaked. It hasn’t leaked yet this year but sometimes it does. Any tips or tricks on how to get the roof to stop leaking? I add some thick, rectangular Diamond plate plates between the bolts and the roof to help keep the bolts from pulling all the way through the roof but the roof still sags. I don’t know exactly what to do to fix that. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Hello, Q) I am assuming that it will still adhere to raptor liner. R) I do not know for sure but most of these are petroleum based. It matter how it was designed. Q) AC gasket R) The sag is usually caused because when putting in an AC unit it requires a brace be installed to support it. If that brace is not put in it will sag. They have even been known to collapse. No Coleman came with AC it was a Dealer add-on or added on later somehow by the camper owner. To fix the sag you will need to install a roof brace. You can find them here colemanpopupparts.com/products/a-c-roof-brace-kit-1?_pos=1&_psq=brace&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Once the sag is fixed the leaking should stop. I had to add the steel plate to the latches that hold the roof down during transport or storage. Removing the ABS coating weakens the rigidity of the roof. But it has to be done. Just be aware of the issue.
Thank you brother, You you saved the day!!!
Thanks for your videos. How did you handle the latches when you recoated the roof? Did you remove them while Re coating?
Yes they were all removed. However, I discovered that the outside coating added some structural integrity that was then missing when I completely removed it. To compensate I built a small plate and put it on the inside. It did the trick.
Thanks. This helps on our project. Ours was purchased in similar shape. Took it down to the frame. Assembly is in work. I’m in charge of grunt work plus electrical and brakes/bearings/tires. She’s doing the finish carpentry.
Glad to help!
Did you put the grizzly grip on top of the abs or did you peel it off?
It was so bad I had to peel off all the old ABS plastic. 5 coats of Grizzly Grip later and no issues with leaks or further roof degradation. The only thing you lose is where the latches to hold the roof are. The ABS added some structural integrity. I had to reinforce a couple with some brackets/clamps I fashioned. Since then no issues at all. 3rd year and still as cozy as ever. :)
Do you know between the metal vs plastic rail, is one better than the other?
It would depend on what you are trying to do. The way I mounted mine has been almost issue free, and I did not have to drill holes that had to be sealed. That is a lot of holes. I also had to remove the entire exterior plastic coat from the roof. If you were to tighten it too tight you may have issues, but backing it with something to provide a compression clamp effect help. If I were to use mine in places where it would get bounced around a lot, for instance light of road, I would use the metal and back it with a strip of metal on the back side for strength. But I only use mine on level roads and after 3 years I have had only one issue where the awning slipped out after last winter. So I anchored it with screws similar to what are on each end 1 foot apart and that solved that issue.
Where did you purchase your rail from?
Hello Jacob. I got it from Coleman Popup parts. Derek (owner) is great to deal with. Here is the link colemanpopupparts.com/products/awning-rail?_pos=5&_sid=8a421f0dd&_ss=r
Thank you so much
You are doing a great job. May I ask where you are purchasing your parts from?
I get my parts from all over. But a lot of them come from Coleman Popup Parts. They have a UA-cam channel @popupcamperpro There is some really good content there.
Could you share the part number for the assembly
There are 2 sizes and this is the 10"x2 1/4". This is where I got it. colemanpopupparts.com/products/dexter-10-x-2-1-4-brake-assembly?_pos=4&_sid=85bd0d238&_ss=r You will also find parts manuals for every coleman popup on that website. Hope that helps.
Did you end up removing it all and going with the Grizzly Grip ? I am at the same decision point on my 2001 Coleman Utah. There is no AC, and the cracks on mine are WAY smaller... but... there is spider cracking on the whole thing, and a few larger cracks that are lifting away. I think I want to remove all the abs and coat with Grizzly Grip. I'd LOVE to hear how you did yours and how it turned out!
Yes I did remove all of it. It has been on now for almost 2 years and it still doing very well. I did provide an updated video. (I should have posted it a long time ago :( )
So how did it turn out?
Very well. I am trying to find time to put up the rest of the videos. :) it was featured on Coleman Pop UP Camper Parts a couple of months ago.
