Thank you so much for this video! I recently lost my father and this was our first year trying to make do with out him. Your detailed instructions helped me set up my camper for the first time since he left us ❤️

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.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thank you for watching our video.

[@vondahartsock-oneil3343]

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.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thank you for watching out video on how to set up a popup camper. Hope it has helped you out to set up your camper.

[@wendywilson1736]

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!

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for checking us out.

[@andrewdegrazia8967]

Thank you, I can tell you’re a thoughtful person. I’m new to this type of camping and this helped me greatly. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@restorationacresminifarm723]

Dude thank you! We inherited a pop up camper and could not figure out how to work the darn thing

[@HomeownerRepair]

No problem at all. Glad this helped you out

[@EverydayProjects]

Thanks, I hadn't set one up before. Now I can say I learned at least one thing today! haha

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.

Thanks so much! God bless you for doing this years ago.

[@HomeownerRepair]

I am glad our pop up camper video helped you to set up your pop up camper.

[@100cakenurse]

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]

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.

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

HomeownerRepair that's what I am thinking about doing bc.my pop up didn't come with an awning .

[@karenjmassaro]

Thank you, for all the details. I know it’s hard to do stuff with one hand while working the other. Great job though. Enjoy

[@HomeownerRepair]

[@athruf4931]

Juat bought a pop up... everything went great but we can't get to door to shut... the tabs at top won't line up to go through holes to lock in place... Suggestions?

[@HomeownerRepair]

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.

[@burselfvlogs7208]

Thanks so much for your video. This is great for us cause we just bought our first one and we'll be using it for the first time next month. Thanks

[@HomeownerRepair]

You're welcome thanks for checking out the video!

[@briandady9030]

Thank you, I could not remember how to setup the bed supports to save my life.😯

[@HomeownerRepair]

Glad this helped you out

[@MaestroAlvis]

So nostalgic. As a kid I spend 4 summers at the beach in one of these.

[@HomeownerRepair]

We had a lot of fun in this pop up

[@Hooligan71]

Stabilizers before going in and pulling beds out

[@ScottyD0578]

Christopher Hill yeah that’s what I’m talking about lol

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching our popup trailer video!

[@jarb-ops]

I love the "what?" at the end 😂

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching

[@jeepchk]

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

[@HomeownerRepair]

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

[@AhJodie]

Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching hope this helped you out

[@kymberleenelson9902]

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.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching

[@22tannerh]

Anyone know the name of the tabs you twist to release the door from the ceiling? Trying to find them with no luck.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Not sure what they would be called.

[@stallworthfamily1353]

Thanks. Dude you are alot of help. My mother has had trouble opening the screen door

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching glad this helped you out

[@susancorbett841]

Great video...thanks!

[@HomeownerRepair]

No problem. Hope this helped you out.

[@piribroughton]

Hi what model and year is this one? Thank you 🙏

[@HomeownerRepair]

I haven't had this camper for years, I believe it was a 1986

[@LoveMtDulcimerMusic]

Thanks. This is a very helpful video.

[@stiltguyjoe]

Dudes video was real helpful. Treat this guy to some Dunkies.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for checking out our popup trailer video.

[@martikagonzalez9973]

we just purchased this same camper 1992 jayco and looking to replace the canvas but not sure what the make is of this camper is do you have any idea?

[@sergio10ca]

iam trying also to buy the canvas its a sticker added inside of the canvas itself

[@KJ-xx6xr]

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.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Sorry for late response just noticed this question.

[@BlacquePlanet]

Random: that accent tho - love it!

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching. Hope this helped you out

[@woodysgeekchannel2204]

thanks a lot. just got my 1st pop up, Can the stabilizers also be used to level the popup?

[@petermoyes8766]

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]

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]

They are really there to stabilize the camper

[@carsonhoward1293]

I have the same camper, it’s good and I like it but the door latch is missing, can I buy a new one or is there a way to fix it?

[@HomeownerRepair]

You should be able to buy one online.

[@jeffmichael31]

Nice camper!! What make is it??

[@HomeownerRepair]

It's a 1992 14' Jayco Popup camper. I bought it used for 600.00 last year, it's in really good shape.

[@vt7814]

I watched 2 minutes already dizzy .... 😆

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching

[@kristianthony9080]

Dang why can I not find a video that shows the underneath bed poles and how to place the canopy over the beds.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Watch the entire video it shows all of this

[@TALLDRINKUVWATER]

Love the accent! Is it a Boston?

[@HomeownerRepair]

Yeah not far from there. Have a great holiday season!

[@hendognsf]

The only thing I don’t like is the plywood if change it from that particle board to sold piece of wood.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching our pop up camper video.

[@macmcintosh1577]

I have a 92 Jayco Jay Series we just purchased that doesn't have the support poles for the beds. Can anybody tell me how long the front and back poles are so I can make some?

[@HomeownerRepair]

Did you look under the mattresses on the slide out beds. That's usually where they get stored

[@macmcintosh1577]

No, I never thought of that, I will check.... thanks

[@macmcintosh1577]

I just went out and looked, lo and behold, there they are!!! Thanks for the info, two times now!!

[@patricianowling2386]

Ok I got a 99 viking I got it up now I need to take it down and I'm not sure how to do it I tried to let it down the same way I put it up but it wont go the opposite way so is there a lach to let it down

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching

[@michaelkaybecker]

crank it up like this "its as easy as that".....My first attempt and the trailer gear box snaps. goddammit

[@HomeownerRepair]

oh boy..sorry to hear that

[@davros123ify]

I think it would be easier setting up a tent from watching this

[@HomeownerRepair]

These popup trailer aren't that bad at all.Plus you're off the ground unlike a tent.

[@bellaphone5719]

[@samanthajones7550]

What year is that, if I may ask?

[@HomeownerRepair]

I no longer have this particular pop up. If you looking for year on yours, there should be a plate with this information and a serial number on it somewhere.

[@theclouds661]

thanks :D

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thanks for watching

[@pHBalanced4u]

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

[@HomeownerRepair]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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. ;-)
