Starcraft Popup Camper Setup and Take Down

Learn how to level, setup and take down your Starcraft Popup camper. This video features a model 1701 but should be similar for all Starcraft models.

What a great walk through and set up. Thanks for all the details.

[@maureengenis486]

Not all superheros wear capes, my friend! I was 2 days in trying to set this sob up in my driveway, cursing ever having bought a pop up trailer when I found your video. 10 minutes later it was done. Thank you!

We had a 1963 or 64 Starcraft pop up. Easy as hell to put up. It was fairly big and slept 8 people. Dad took one of the tables and benches out and made a set of drawers on each end so we didnt have to live out of the suitcases. Around 2000, he sold the camper to someone for $50.00 . Nothing wrong with it he just wanted to get rid of it since he didn't use it anymore. My sister was pissed. She wanted the camper but thats what dad did, sold stuff rather than ask us kids if we wanted to buy it first. Oh and with 2 of us kids, we had it all set up within 10 minutes. =)

I am so glad that I found this video. I just bought a 2000 Starcraft and, though I have the manual, there are no pictures and the corrections were quite vague. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to do the supports for the beds! Ha! (Hey, I never claimed to be a smart man. Just a dashingly handsome one.)

[@dugbug123]

Me too. couldn't figure out the beds at all. the poles were just piled up in the floor when i got mine last week. This vid saved my a$$.

[@jlancaster46]

This is nicely done! I'm picking up a Starcraft Pop-up this week from a used RV dealer. After seeing this video, I realize that they had no idea how to set the rig up properly (didn't know what those safety bars were for and they were missing some supports for the beds. I'm a lot more confident in my purchase now and will make sure to go through all of this in the driveway at home before I head out on the road! Thanks!

[@westonwaterson960]

This is the best pop-up video I’ve found yet. Don’t have this model of Starcraft but there was a lot in common with our RT11 - Thank you!

[@M.Y.O.F.B5178]

after watching this i had to lie down for a hour

[@troyking4787]

Thanks for this man. I’ve looked at some fairly new coachman models that simplify a lot of this but seeing as I’m still in the market your video explains a lot of the nuances of older, simpler models. Thank you so much

[@krisnickfffs]

I'm picking up my first pop-up tomorrow, a 2004 starcraft model 3602. This was awesome information thank you

[@chrissmythe7747]

Beautiful. I just bought mine so this is definitely a great help for a first time owner. Thanks a lot.

[@gdlywmn4life]

Great Video! Thank you for sharing. Very informative and detail. My Son just bought one, an older model 1976 but he’s excited to clean it up and renovate and take his kids out on a fun camping’s trip. After watching this video, I learned to appreciate how much work it is to …set up a pop up camper or any type of trailer. Hard Work… Pays Off… Again, Thank you for making this video. God Bless 🙏✝️🙏

[@nikispringer3142]

Really appreciate this video. Thank you:)

[@gabeg3065]

Great Video! I love this thing. Perfect size too. Thanks

[@BlacquePlanet]

This was awesome - I’m researching pop up tents and this was VERY informative

[@venchamadm]

Amazing very clear thanks 🙏

[@Nataliedafairy]

My stabilizer bar has broke what do I do how do I replace it and where would I get the part

[@Daoud_Moujahid]

Nice job I just buy one Starcraft 2003 in clean like new

[@merisajacobson3923]

I just got an older one that I’m fixing up. Where can I find parts for things that are missing? Like the metal covers that go on the sides and more?!

[@mykecallahan4141]

Holy shit at 47:02! Did that hurt? That could have been bad. What was the issue that wasn't allowing it to go down?

[@jimmyperinientertainment2832]

Good job ...forgot the awning lol So what size generator if your off grid? Is that a marine battery you use but would it be needed if you have a generator? How much does this go for? Thanks jimmy

[@crazydayz1080]

Nice jack. Where did you find a jack like that for leveling the camper?

[@dakween3240]

Where did you get them safety bars to hold up the camper and the support bars for the beds?

[@chelstar99]

They come with the camper.

[@miketaylor9437]

I Enjoyed your video and learned a lot. I just bought a 2009 star craft pop-up camper. I’m having an issue with the water draining out of the sink. It does not completely drain out. How do I get it to completely drain out? Also I do not have a stopper to hold the water in the sink. Is there a stopper for the sink?

[@jamesgaudreau8315]

Looks like bugs could easily crawl from under the bed through the space in the canopy I was hoping these things are sealed. Still pretty cool though

[@mattskadberg4330]

I have never had any bugs, the canopy is held tight by bungee cords

[@donoimdono2702]

what kind of battery do you have that will last a week? that's great piece of kit if it does!

[@donoimdono2702]

wait... at 36:38 you claim the fridge is running, but at 34:53 you flipped the sink which disconnects the power switches to the fridge. does your fridge run separately from the cutoff switch?

[@JohnSmith-m7p]

I've an older model missing all of the bars and canopy is torn... So I'm not too sure this will be helpful.

[@Threedog1963]

So, the rear bed only has the 2 supports? The front has the U table thing plus the side supports? I had one of these campers I just sold and we only got it with the front frame, no additional supports, and the 2 folding bars for the rear bed...

[@boopsie13]

Do all Starcraft pop ups have the two supports for the roof? Ours did not come with them. This has always worried me.

[@dugbug123]

the C channel safety things yeah, mine did.

[@bentwookie348]

Can you leave that fridge running while towing the camper?

[@Edubbcamaraman]

Thanks

[@franigallegos6656]

Awesome. Ty. How do you turn on heat?

[@dusty3275]

There should be a thermostat by your fuse panel, on my rt 10 I turn on the propane and select a temperature then the heater will start. FYI once it reaches desired temp it does have a cool down time for the heater itself it runs for a minute or two with no heat it's by design.

[@guitstikkustoms4448]

I can't find wheel "chucks" anywhere, all the RV stores have are chocks.

[@picklethem3038]

yeah I have the same problem :((((((((((((

[@lcloverviewman5755]

No hot water heater? Seems a significant drawback of this model. Good video, however. Your cameraman could use some practice keeping the lease pointed where the action is! Thanks!!

[@cecilyates3751]

Does anyone on here have any experience with the 11RT? I am trying to find out what size generator I need to run the AC.

[@mindygerardi1250]

Do you know how to get the water pump To work? Do you have to fill the water tank completely to build pressure? We recently bought this camper and cannot get the sink set up! Thank you!

[@liveandletlive2894]

Test for power at the pumo

[@camillyzoe2004]

Where is the refrigerator 🤔 miss that

[@bradknutson4263]

It's across from the front door. You can see it around 49:55 to the left of the cups and dishes. Just forgets to point it out. The fridge can run off of propane or a normal electrical hookup.

[@cwickyomomma2124]

Red bar and it was holding the top up apparently. Wow, lmao

[@bobreeder6738]

where can you buy the leveling Jack that you put under the tire?

[@mattskadberg4330]

[@jamesloomis5656]

Looks easy enough. Hahahahahah

[@jimmysam3106]

You talk too damn much with no significant progress

[@cecilyates3751]

I thought it was the best video I have found for this. Also, it is a bargain at $0.00. I appreciate someone taking time to share their experience. Have you posted any videos we can critique? BTW. Did you know you can speed up the playback up to 2X the normal speed?

[@nancysullivan5070]

My popup came without safty bars where can i get them or what can i use instead

[@picklethem3038]

I used a 64 gig prossesser with a 4 bit quartric

[@picklethem3038]

even a 97 will work
