Hey Bucky. BEFORE you take out your popup......
Not sure you know ( I think I posted it here) we bought an 06 fleetwood Yuma back in December. Tent camper for years, and we are loving this. Used it 3 times already.
Well... Woulda been 4 times...
Went out last Friday to a campground about 20 minutes from the house. It's on the next lake over from our house, on buggs island lake, or lake Kerr, depending on which side you live on.
Anywho, pulled in, leveled up , and wife and boys started unloading stuff from truck. While I started the pop up process. ... .... ...
I got about 4 cranks in, and POP!!!!! Immediately realized I forgot to unlatch one corner. Broke a cable. Hitched back up and drive back home.
What a dumbass move.
Googled it when I got home. Apparently a lot of other dumb asses out there. Forum posts galore about doing exactly what I did.
$37 for the cable, and best I can tell almost a full day pain in the ass to replace.
SO!!!..... CHECK your latches!!!
