Hi I don’t see the website for parts for a 2013 Jayco pop up camper.
Where do you buy your parts
First thing I always tell people is to stay off the beds when they are not supported. If they don't listen they sleep outside. Great video as always.
I am retired young overall but for several years, I wholesaled to pet shops around the country from home. So I decided to keep that going part time to give me something to do. Ironically one of my customers who buys several thousand a month had a really nice pop up garage kept in mint condition that he offered as partial payment on plus cash. I accepted and frankly pleased with it. So I am new to owning one myself and reviewed the video just as a precaution and glad I did. Before ever opening it or closing, I reviewed videos so I had a idea. There was no real issue but I did notice the key lock on the screen door was broke so easy fix. It seems it is harder to reserve a camp site in a state park in Florida then it is dealing with pop ups lolol. Thank you for the upload, it is helpful.
This video is great! Gives me good tips for what to be careful not to do with our new-to-us Jayco!
Thank you for all your videos. These are definitely helping me. We just were given a starcraft popup so this will be great to know.
We stretched the support cables on our 2017 Viking epic edition, so one side droops a little lower then the other side, we haven't fixed it yet. We also lost our crank because hubby forgot to take it out before driving away, we purchased a new one but it didn't fit so we made some alterations by cutting and welding a metal bar to make it fit properly.
Thanks for the video!
I bought a 2001 Jayco Quest 12A with surge breaks that was shot.
The breaks assembly in the wheels where ok but surge unite in the hitch was beyond repair. I bought an unused unit but still had to hone it out however the internal plunger was to old . I replaced that with a Dorman master cylinder break kit for old Chevy's/Pontiac's and it worked. It took a lot of time and experimentation.
Thanks again
We haven't really broken anything yet, but we have had to tighten up some stuff here and there. The hinge for the flip down sink started to come unscrewed from the counter top - stuff like that. One strange thing we had happen was that the wrong fuses were in the wrong slots - straight outta the factory! The first trip we took, we could hardly get the top up (electric lift, not hand crank). A fuse blew! I looked at the fuse (assuming it would be the right amp fuse in the slot). It was a 15. Replaced it. Lifting....blown again. Till we were almost out of replacement fuses.....FInally I snapped that the fuse that was blowing was 15 amps but it was coming out of the 30 amp slot!! Plenty of adventures with these pop up campers....See ya at the campground....................................AO
I had to repair my Fresh water tank. There was a screw in the floor that was not completely set below floor level for year the head of that screw rub against the tank, until it finally broke through. I had just filled the tank and we were leaving for the weekend. There was water everywhere. I was still at home so it was easy to fix. It just took time.
Take out tank, take out old screw, properly install new screw, install padding under tank, put a nylon screw with rubber seals on both sides to seal tank, and reinstall the tank.
Trailers are just like houses except the part that breaks is the part you need right then and your 60 miles away from the tool you need to fixit.usually br
We snapped a cable on the lift system on our Coleman 2002 Cheyanne, our first trip out with it, for exactly the reason you said. Left one of the clamps on it and didn’t realize and BANG. We’d popped it up several times beforehand at home to clean it, pack it, try it out etc and never any issues. We arrived at our campsite so excited to settle in with our kids and completely missed one of the clamps. My fault. Whoops. We’re getting it fixed on Saturday at an RV dealership and hoping for the best. They quoted about 3-4 hours, 130 an hour. Lesson learned.
Great job on the camper, looks so much nicer then when you picked it up! Hey question, which one of your kayaks have you rolled most?
We drove four hours away from home and when we got to the beach we instantly realized we forgot the actual keys to the pop up! Long story short our latch/key lock is now broken! 🤣
I have a Coleman Fleetwood 1997 (21 yo) that I purchased brand new. It has always been stored in my garage, it is still in great shape. The only thing I have had to do on that pop-up is spray the canvas at the seams, in order to keep it from leaking, other than that it has held up well to endless camping trips, in all kinds of weather, and small children (they are all grown now)..
You give me hope. I know I am a year out from this, but now I am terrified of touching the popup I just bought.
Bent the rails on my Dutchmen. Some rails are universal across several brands/models. Replacement rails were perfect but needed different holes drilled.
We didn’t brake it but the previous owner never cleaned or greased the whiffletree that’s raises and lowers the roof and got stuff jammed in it and had the roof stuck open. So now we have a brand new lift mechanism in our camper
I bought one from my neighbor to help him pay bills as he was injured and couldn't work . When I popped it up, it seemed everything was inoperable lol. I basically bought a rolling chassis with trash bolted to it lol
Love the video, just bought a Jaco 12a.
My cousin wired up a plug for my parents pop up dad didn't think much of it but once everything started smoking he had to take it back to where he got it from.Luckly under warranty the camper place replace everything free of charge
When my wife and I were repairing our roof we pulled off two of the latch mounts on the roof horrible
The metal strip at the edge of the bed (when you climb in an out) - with time the screws ripped out of the plywood. Drilled holes with sheet metal screws and reattached on the facing and underside lip.
I've had the same trailer for about 4 years. The drain valve on the fresh water tank has been stiff since we got it. A week ago it litterally broke off in my hand as I was trying to close it. Thankfully we has a city water hookup where we were camping but now I'm trying to figure out how to fix it and where to get the parts.
Same situation thanks for video
Just bought a '96 Dutchmen. The door locating pins are plastic and one is broken. Not easy to find!
I have to say before I decided to get our popup (and my parents had.a popup for years with us as kids), I no of no one that had experienced these issues. Bending things, the camper being fragile. I just hope that my hubby and I do not have the same problems. I am glad I found you to at least make me aware of things.
Awesome ! Thanks for watching!
We got a 1997 Coleman Westlake in great shape ... just having to re=seal the roof, also where did you guys find the materials for your curtains ?
I broke the stabilizer on the back when I forgot to raise it up before I raised the tongue jack!
I haven't broke anything in my 2007 Fleetwood Cobalt as of yet , just wanted to make a comment about something I saw in the video .
When cooking sausage , it probably isn't a good idea to rest your plastic fork in the frying pan .. just an observation
I was thinking the same. Ha!
I just bought a 2000 Rockwood Freedom and I pray to god, I dont break anything. However, I did almost tear the tarp closing the camper. I was pushing the bed in and I noticed I was struggling but yet, kept pushed 🙄 couldn't close it. So I opened it again and noticed I had the tarp pushed inside over the roller and the bed roller was stuck in the tarp. Thankfully, it's ok. I was sweating I tell ya. Close beds first then put the tarp in. My first time closing it and I almost ruined the tarp. Lesson learned, if you need to force something to close, STOP theres a problem.
the gap you speak of is due to the weight from when you sat on the bed end. it puts pressure on the wall which pulls the wall away from the door way creating that gap
Any videos on how you were a pair or replace them
I had to replace a pulley on one of the erector posts. I ended using a drapery lpart.
The most major thing I’ve had to fix, is the winch cable to lift the roof. Was not easy at all.
Hey y'all! You can look online to find ur pop up site! And they are really cool and can help u!
HEY YAK! how are you? Hope all is well. Could you please tell me what exactly the bed rails are called for the 1984 starcraft we just bought ours for 200 cash yesterday and if cours the bed rails are completely broken. So we will need to replace all four. Thank you so much
Headed out in my maiden voyage in my new used 2002 Viking pop-up trailer with an AC unit two queen-size beds. So far I replaced the deep cycle battery about a predator 2000 watt generator inverter. I Tandem KAYAK, Canoe. I would never camp cuz I was too embarrassed that I wasn't able to set up a tent. it's been over 2 years now I've been able to set up my tent for my seven children & my bride Now I decided to step up to a POP UP trailer. It's all new to me but I can't run any longer LOL 18 years of me being married and all these kids, staying home summer after summer little hikes here n there. It just wasn't cutting it my grandma Pearl who raised me, born in 1909 in Rocklin California her and her sisters camped all over Northern California parts of Oregon & Nevada. So i owe it to them & my family. I bought a lot of air up toys for the kids, little cheap flashlights, games, sugar cereal that we never eat & S'MORES!! I don't have the big boat or the big big motorhome like my neighbors have across the street from me. But I believe this POP-UP will do!
I just broke as well both sliders! Is it possible to get them? I need to replace them!
The sidewall at bed on frame is bending down. Saw that this occurred before I bough and was just caulked. Need to put brace or screw long screws for foundation to hold bed. How best to fix.
Right now I have a push rod that keeps jumping track, I think the floor track is bent up from prior owners cable issues .... any advise?
Sorry to bother you but I can't seem to find the link you said you would put a link down in the comments for parts my track for the bed also has bet and I'm looking to buy a new track instead of trying to bend it back I appreciate all your help
Mine is a 1983 Rockwood I have had for several years I have broken the silverware drawer the ceiling vent and the foot at the front of the trailer jack
Tolley Smith I have a 82 rockwood that fortunately i didnt have to pay for. The offer was to get it out of his driveway and I could have it. It's a good thing, I've only had it a couple of months, taken it out twice, and learnd he didn't take very good care of it it and msintenance eas nonexistent.
Do you still have the video where you replaced the canvas on the c141j?
Looking for the slide out stoppers, broke both pulling the slide out to hard!! Any ideas where to look?
How did you remove the rails? I can't get them off.. Any tips would help.
Thank you
Who did you order your bed rails from? Our bed broke while we were sleeping.
I almost bent the door ,when we got our used Starcraft home and put it up I thought for sure the door hung from the inside I was kicking the bottom of it forcing it then my wife said I think this hangs from the outside ,went right in..🙄🤣
We have a used StarCraft Pop-upCamper. Just got it. It has a VERY loose fastener for the door to hang on the ceiling as well as when it is down and set up as a full door. Not sure where to get a new screw or new parts or just to fix it?. Left side bad but right side is just fine! Also, our biggest issue is currently, it got a New canvas tent but a few of the fasteners for the bungy to fasten too are missing on the bunkends, As well as the leg support fastener for the 2nd leg on the bunkends are missing. Where do I find them? Thank you!
one of the first things i broke was the front wheel. i forgot to take it off before leaving site, hit a bump and ripped it right off. :( never fixed it just put a 4 by 6 under the remaining pipe. i could of easily just cut the broken piece, drill some new holes and remounted a new wheel, but never really needed it. :)
Where is the link for the parts you bought????
Scared to mention what I broke on our last outing… hubby hooked up the power & was turning it all on when there was a POP & we lost our lights… also, the water pump will turn on but it gets really hot & stopped pumping water. Let's just say… that not every empty space can be used to store things… and in our 1988 camper… under the sink, next to the furnace, is a definite no-no.
On the previous camping trip, the drawer that was in there broke free & everything in it fell in that hole. As I couldn’t use the drawer… when we packed up, I “temporarily” put everything in that hole… and forgot to tell hubby. 😮 oops.
He was going to re-wire the entire trailer in the spring… SO… we managed our camping trip without on board water & lights… and I’ve learned not to stuff things places without talking it out. 😊
Where did you find the bed slides? I can't find any anywhere!
I’ve been trying to find parts for my pop-up I can’t find them anywhere I’m about ready to give up on it
What is the popup portal? I don't see the link?
We are having an issue pushing in one of our beds. It does not seam to be bent the we notice a black plastic strip is missing. I'm not able to find anything about that anywhere. Does any know know what I'm talking about?
Need help with lift. My remote does not lift the roof anymore. I can manually lift it by cranking it up. Is there a lift motor to 2013 Jayco pop up camper ??? Please somebody HELP 🤪
Nice vid
Where can I order the bed rail part that's in the video I watched?
The plastic strips that hold the canvas to the top at each end has virtually nothing to hold the screws. They all started pulling out. Put on thinking cap. Look around garage, shed .... found sign making material called alupanel (2 thin layers of aluminum with composite material in between). Cut 2 pieces, pulled out the plastic strip. Then I drove the new pieces cut to fit up under the top lip. Then placed plastic strips over the bottom section, drilled aircraft stainless screws through new material, holds plastic like a champ. Better than oem. There are other brands, sheets are 4x8 delivered. The plastic strips had a thin layer of wood , with no structural integrity. Now I have a lightweight substrate material that holds the plastic strips like no tomorrow!
Has anybody had an issue with the electrically lifting or lowering the top? I just bought a 2012 Jayco. Got it home, set it up and left it for a few days. When I tried to close it up I had issues getting the top down. It would run for a few seconds and then stop. I would have to push the up buttons and then start going back closed with it. It would run for 5-10 seconds and stop again. Anybody have this same issue and what did you do to correct it?
Wondering where you went to get parts? I broke the whole top of my door off this past weekend and would like to be able to fix it, but don’t seem to know what the parts are called.
our door is broken & we can't seem to find parts to replace as 1982 jayco. We're in Australia. Frustrating
Jack's back! I'm looking around for a pop up or a ultra lite hard sided trailer. If you were to buy again, anything specific you'd look for?

I just got back from camping and raised it up to clean it and I think I hyper extended the top and the cables broke. The camper is still raised except for one corner..my camper is a jayco just like yours but it has a toyhauler in the front..I was wanted to ask you if I should try to fix it or take it to the shop and let them fix it and will that be expensive??
You can fix it if you can prop up the top will you run new cables. Its expensive at the shop.
Easy enough to fix. Check UA-cam for videos.
I got a question, our pop up when we got it the door was rotted we replaced the wood and didn’t notice the metal piece was missing from the frame of the half door. I can’t seem to find this darn piece anywhere.
Any ideas where I can get this piece?
I got a question,hope someone help me on this. I got a pop-up,the top of the camper needs to be adjusting. How can I adjust the top?
Adjusted? 1 or more corners not fully lifting? Silicone lubricant the lift poles.If you have plungers in the poles they can get stuck.Supposed to do this once or twice a year anyway on some models.Don't get it on the canvass. If that isn't it, a cable stretched and must be adjusted at distribution block and/or replaced if frayed.Don't know the exact model or problem so hard to answer.
OMG I didn't own mine for even a few weeks. First time I took it out, luckily I tried popping it up before driving it away, the cable that lifts it up totally ripped out of the shaft that turns, lifting it up. So what I had to do was trim that mess of frayed cable off of the end, tape it up with electrical tape, and get the cable back in the hole where the set screw is holding it in place. Don't do what I did and assume it was like some other type of bolt or something. It's a recessed set screw that requires an allen wrench to get it out. I was able to replace the allen screw just in case it was not holding it in good enough. So far, my fix has been good for almost a couple of years now. It still doesn't quite lift up the whole way so we have to use the manual crank to finish getting it up, only an inch or so.
I know you might not see this but we had the same issue. Just got a Jayco. It won’t open up on one side. How did you fix that?
One of my cables under the pop up is starting to fray. How do I change it? And where can I get it at?
Get the width and the dimensions by taking it apart and take it to a hardware store and get a exact match
My wife say on the unsupported bed after i told her not to lol!!!!! I fou d a replacement on eBay free shipping only $55 for a 72"er
More things than I care to remember campers are way to fragile
Thanks....want to get one and would rather not break what you listed on the video. lol
Don't use Thompson water sealer to water proof your soft sides it will shrink the sides and will not fit, then you get to purchase new one

We were "rough housing" in ours the first morning we woke up in our little star craft and the bed fell completely out and ripped the canvas out of the roof and on one side, and leaving us in an unfortunate situation in the broken bed on the ground covered by the canvas and nothing else. Spent the rest of the day of 4th of July sewing up canvas.
Jennifer Epperly if roughhousing means you were having hot passionate sex with your husband then I think it was worth it!...Good job!
Lol
ceiling came down, (not my fault) bunk support bracket came off (again not my fault), & stabilizer leg badly bent (my fault, rookie mistake)
You should add. Don't melt a plastic fork in your pan while cooking sausage. lol!
I like that thing, how much do estimate it cost to buy it and restore?
You can get a good used one for $2000 to about $4000
New they run about $8000 to $15000
what should i pay for a pop up camper that everything works on
I have the exact same camper as Yak. Paid $2,900 for it and had to fix the cassette toilet pump
We bought out pup with 2 broken lift cables. They super easy to repair it's just time consuming, unbolting and moving everything to get to them. My husband and I replaced 2 for about $40 with parts from lowes
I’ve broken the lift cable and it wasn’t to hard to fix
Please tell me how you got it tight
My pop-up has the same door gap and I have no idea why
If the gap is between the lower and upper door it maybe because the roof is going too high on a corner or overall.
Been there! Duh!
You seem like a very nice couple. So I don't take any joy in saying this. Anyone that uses a plastic fork in a hot fry and then has the lack of self awareness to then record it, is someone I find it hard to take as a serious thinker.
I am considering getting a pop up what brand do you suggest
Go with a Rockwood high wall
I’ve got a 1999 Jayco and they are very flimsy the forest river are a little better built
a rockwood I had one for 10years
My crank broke
Samantha cant be happy that you made pu pic that she sat on something causing it go break....
plastic spoon on the pan..ummm
I love the taste of melted plastic with my sausage!
Who in their right mind would sit on the unsupported bed.......a WOMAN!
Wrong I sat on my bed and bent the track and I need the link to purchase the new set of tracks
