How Can I Repair The Lift System On My Pop Up Camper?

ANSWER: Greetings James thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

First let me tell you a good place to start in finding the parts for your Flagstaff trailer. In 1994 the Flagstaff Trailer was manufactured by a company by the name of Cobra. In 1995 Forest River RV assumed production of these trailers.

Once you determine what parts you need to do the repair you should contact Forest River RV's Tent Campers Parts Department at (574) 642-2640 Ext. 127 and they should be able to tell you where to get the parts you need.

Since I do not know exactly what is causing the problem with the lift system on your pop-up, I will be hard pressed to tell you how to repair it.

There is a great website called the Pop Up Portal that is dedicated to pop up trailers it also has a forum you should join. If I were you I would do a forum post detailing the exact problems you are having with your trailer and I am sure that some of the forum members will be able to help you determine exactly what the problem is with your pop up trailer.

I Hope this helps.
