I just wanted to say Hello to everyone and Thank you for the pop-up education.
Im in my glory.I finally bought a pop up after 2 years of being CHEAP and looking around at Travel trailers, I found this 1970 Jayco pop up in AWESOME condition, 1 year old canvas, 1 year old A/C mounted great on the side wall, Fridge, micro, sink, sleeps 4 on new mattresses,nice floor, diamond plate lock box screwed to front, 1 Awning. I LOVE IT !!!
$ 400.00 !!!!!!!! Its from Texas origanally, I guess the dry air helped with NO RUST on frame and the floor is real good.
I know what your thinking, whats wrong with it ???
1: One spot had leak in corner, not to bad, I fixed that already, It was because of the way it was closed improperly and the lock pulled the seam away.
2: One dent in the back which made it slightly crooked, it opened a seam on the side, I fixed that seam.
3: I did find a couple of little pin holes on the aluminum roof ??? Any advice on what to use for the roof ?
4: HERES THE MAIN Problem : someone has to get on top of the roof to squeeze it shut, like a stuffed suitcase, so we can lock it, the cable doesnt make it go down ( HAND CRANK ) ??? What could I do to fix that?
??? Does anyone know the proper way to fold the canvas in when closing up, is there a right way? I tried my best to even it out away from the sides, ANY ADVICE appreciated.
THANK YOU

I have to break my promise on pictures (maybe no one cared any way, I dont know). doing the roof is taking longer then expected, when Im done I will post pics.
