Last fall I did a boo boo and forgot to release one of the latches on my Bayport when I started to crank it up. I didn't get that far up so I thought all was well.

Went camping, last fall still, and noticed that I had to push the roof up a bit to get the door in place....@#$%%$#$

I probably should get this fixed before this season.

How do a I adjust a specific corner cable or can I even do that?

Yes, you can fix this. You've stretched or pulled the cable out of the whiffle tree a little bit. What year is the Bayport? I don't know your specific model, but Fleetwood built the lift systems quite similarly.

Here is a Fleetwood (Coleman) lift system repair manual.

Looks like page 41 onward should do it.

I also found this video that at least shows you what you're looking for underneath.


This space left intentionally.

2006 Fleetwood Sequoia and mods...one of the tallest highwall pop-ups on the planet after flipping the axle.

And thanks to you , I went home and measured the height at each post on my new-to-me PUP, and found as much as 1" differences. Probably nothing to worry about, but I'm a stickler for such things...will be addressing this myself.

Thanks for the manual. I skimmed through it and looks like a reasonably complete step by step on how to get it up and level again.

I clean and regrease my wiffle every couple of years so I hope to at least have a handle on the basic mechanics of it.

By the way Rob, here we don't call them Oops. PopUp have their own special name for mistakes. We call them SPUT's for stupid pop up tricks.
This coming from a charter member of the SPUT club. I made my first just over 40 years ago.
Favorite one, well to the DW, was when I was crouched down to empty the fridge and the DW decided to help and pushed/ramed the front bunk in. When I woke up I had a cut, lump the size of a small egg, and a headache bad enough I couldn't drive.
That's the day she learned how to drive towing a trailer.

They say you learn by your mistakes, in that case I must be a genius.

Anything possibly requiring stitches, band-aids, antibiotic ointment, ice packs, Tylenol, (your choice of pain reliever), ambulance rides, hospitalization, therapy and/or apologies from someone, is more than just a SPUT. Kind of like a back-SPUT to the face.
