Broken Lift Cable on our Skamper Pop Up Camper

Hi All,

We were just getting ready to get the camper ready for the summer when while cranking it up we heard a loud "SNAP"! Our 24 year old lift cable on our 1989 Skamper 240C pop up camper finally broke.

Luckily it broke near the crank and is easy to get at. I thought about rigging it somehow but it is worth it to fix it right since the cable is original. I did the research on our lift system and we have the Goshen Lift system which is still being made by the Goshen Stamping Company http://www.goshenstamping.com/lift.php. They still make and sell parts for their lift system that they have been building since 1976. The lift cable is about $15 - $25 in parts but it is going to take about 2 - 5 hours of labor since I have never done one before. I will definitely be posting pictures here of what I had to do to fix it. Here is an up to date shot of our Skamper.
