      Hey, your not alone. Same thing here. Thank goodness for youtube and modern tech and the ppl who are kind enough to video this type of stuff and post it for everyone here. I went to all the forums looking for information about my particular model, only to read a thread like this...IDK why anyone would need a manual, I can't think of anything that isn't self explanatory. It was of course an experienced man, who already knew what he was doing and a lady merely asked if anyone knew where she could get an owners manual. I really thought that was rude. I don't see what the guy meant by everything being self explanatory, because you have a gas system, electrical system etc...helps to know about the fuse box and all those things many women do not usually deal with. I was glad I wasn't registered so I could post, or I'd have laid into that man lol.

    Thank you. I recently bought a used 92 Skamper pop up. I've never owned a pop up. I merely had to watch the man take it down, connect it to my truck and I pulled it home, where it's sat ever since. Only a week or two lol. Only because the trailer wouldn't release from my truck, so out of desperation, I disconnected the hitch from the truck and left the towball and tongue, still stuck to the trailer lol. I have some metal to metal lubricant and a rubber mallet, but going to have my brother come by and use his muscle power. It was a brand new ball and I did not grease it first. Plus it wasn't exactly low enough, so the pressure made it next to impossible to disconnect. I want that taken care of first, then I will attempt to raise the thing. I desperately needed a refresher from what I witnessed a couple of weeks ago. THANK YOU.

    So glad we got the model that has a whole door that just swings down and gets attached. The half door stores under the back bunk end. Funny how we had to point that out to the sales guy when he was showing us how to fold it up. You folks on You Tube have shown us a lot, which is great, since I'm a visual learner. Manuals do nothing for me.😏
    So thank you, and all you others!

    Thank you, this was helpful . This is the same model of pop up that I just bought. The only difference I see is that mine doesn't have Velcro for the ends. It has stretch cord that goes around the little pulleys that I see are still under your camper.

    I wish I'd seen this when we first got our popup. It's old (?1978?) and had no owner's manual. We finally figured it out but it's still a continuous work in progress to make the needed repairs. Do you have a video on putting up the awning? We had it out of the bag one time and decided it was just too much trouble. Now I'm thinking we just need good instructions. Thanks again for the video.

    • @HomeownerRepair
      @HomeownerRepair  10 років тому +1

      I currently do not have an awning for ours.What I ended up doing is going to Walmart and bought a 10X10 easy up canopy for like $49.00. It's easy to set-up and works pretty good for what we use it for.

    Suggestions?

    • @HomeownerRepair
      @HomeownerRepair  Рік тому

      Sometimes it takes a little wiggling around and possibly not making the sides or roof so tight on the tent camper while you are trying to put the camper door in place. Hope this helps you out.

  • @kymberleenelson9902
    @kymberleenelson9902 3 роки тому

    I have the same trailer but its in a bit rougher shape. Needs a new canvas, it no longer attaches to the door. The door needs new pins. Also, on mine it has 4 supports on the front bed, 2 are like a v or u shape.

    I know in the beginning you said but to crank it all the way up. At what point do you finish cranking it?

    • @HomeownerRepair
      @HomeownerRepair  Рік тому

      You should finish cranking it when the roof is fully raised and you can put the tent trailer sides in place.

    • @KJ-xx6xr
      @KJ-xx6xr 7 років тому +1

      bearcreekcanvas.com/ Jayco usually posts what model you have on the outside. Mine is a 86(soon to be a flatbed trailer) and it proudly proclaims its a 1006SG Deluxe by the door. Mostly they just need the measurements if you know the exact year there were only a few models for each make.

  • @woodysgeekchannel2204

    • @petermoyes8766
      @petermoyes8766 5 років тому

      buy a BAL leveler ..adust ,first with the tounge jack to levei the length ,put leve] lunder the wheel and ratchet up till level ,,its a magic and best bit of pop up kit ,,when perfectly level the trailer is rock solid .one wheel off the ground ,and stabilzers should never be used to level trailer ..good luck

    • @patrickbarbour8976
      @patrickbarbour8976 5 років тому

      Hopefully, you already got a reply on this. The tongue jack in the front is used to level the popup. You can break the stabilizers if you try to force the popup level with them. Stabilizers are meant only for 'stabilizing' the unit once it's level.

    • @HomeownerRepair
      @HomeownerRepair  Рік тому +1

      They are really there to stabilize the camper

    How do you set up the table? We can't figure it out. :(

    • @HomeownerRepair
      @HomeownerRepair  10 років тому +3

      On the edge of the table there should be a channel, that fits into a channel on the trailer. That will hold the table up, then you can put the leg down on the table. Let me know if this helps you out.

    • @pHBalanced4u
      @pHBalanced4u 10 років тому

      It worked! We just got this from a family friend and I've never owned or been in one. What's the extra table looking piece for? It has the same kind of slide in bracket but no table leg just another smaller slide in bracket underneath it. It looks like the kind of bracket that the beds have....

    • @HomeownerRepair
      @HomeownerRepair  10 років тому +1

      tyler laird Jeeze, not sure. Usually on the table beds, there's typically either a table leg that folds down to prop the table up, or some tables have a pole under the table that goes into a cup on the floor and also into a cup under the table.

    • @pHBalanced4u
      @pHBalanced4u 10 років тому

      I think it goes outside by the door maybe? But there is also a connecter for something under where it would sit. Looks like gas or water or something..... Can the stove be put right there? 

    • @nima20031
      @nima20031 10 років тому

      tyler laird yup there are 2 connectors outside by the door the short one is for the table and the long one is for the stove. ;-)
