Pop Up Camper Replacement Parts

Pop up camper replacement parts may save your holiday.

In a hurry?

Pop up campers or tent trailers are easy to use and they make camping more comfortable. However, they are not as durable as most other RVs, and some pop up camper parts have to be replaced from time to time.

Whether you have an old pop up that needs to be put into better shape or you just purchased a second hand one, here are a few things that will help you out.

Wheels and tires

When it comes to replacing old parts of pop up campers, tires are the ones that need replacement the most often. When you choose the tires and the wheels you have to make sure that they are suitable for a pop up camper and they have the right weight capacity and pressure.

If you want the most durable and sturdy tires for your pop ups, choose Goodyear Marathon Radial tires. They are the most recommended ones by pop up users and they have an enhanced sidewall rubber. Besides the stores listed here you can check out Tire Rack if you want to buy pop up camper tires.

Awnings

Awnings broke quite often since you always have to roll them out and roll them up. They usually have a system that works with a spring, which breaks if it is overused. Awnings come in more sizes, and there are many shops where you can find durable and long lasting awnings.

Lift systems

The lift system is what makes a pop up camper rise, or “pop up”. There are more types of list systems that are used and known among pop up camper manufacturers. These are the C&R Universal Lift, the Palomino Lift System, the Heco Lift System, the Apache Lift System, the Coleman/Fleetwood Lift System, the Goshen Lift Sysstem, the L&W Lift System, the Starcraft Lift System, and the Forest River Lift System. Most of these lift systems can be found and replaced.

The lift systems made nowadays are most often electronic, however the majority of pop ups that you can buy and that people own have the old system, which works with a winch, a pulley and a crank. These are connected with cables which often broke and need replacement. If your lift system is not working, you don't necessarily have to change the whole thing. Stores also sell parts of lift systems separately, such spring arms, lift springs, cables, lift posts, winches and pulleys.

Canvas

If there are holes and tears on your canvas and you don't want to start patching it (which is also just a temporary solution) you can replace the whole canvas part. Various stores manufacture high quality tents for pop ups that are made of durable and water resistant fabrics. The new high quality canvas types manufactured nowadays can make your camper look like brand new, and also be more effective against sunlight, wind and rain.

Cushions covers

Stores that sell pop up camper parts also usually sell cushion covers for the camper. If you have a pop up camper you will see that these often need replacement, either because they are stained or because they are damaged by moist.

Visitor's Story....

The typical pop up camper has a number of parts, which need proper maintenance and care.

You would need access to camper replacement parts when one of them gets faulty and needs to be replaced.

Some of the most important components in a pop up trailer would include awnings, kitchen units, jockey wheels and spare wheels.

Having some amount of knowledge on these components would help you have a trouble free holiday.

The kitchen unit that comes with more expensive pop up campers, has a gas cooker, a washbasin and storage facilities.

Less expensive campers may not have a separate kitchen unit. In this case, you would have to purchase the part separately. In both cases, you might need to replace individual components in the units whenever they get faulty.

The awning for the camper is the next most important component. It extends the usable area under the camper and serves as a good covered space for cooking, sleeping or relaxing under the shade. The price of the base unit may not always cover the cost of the awning. In such cases, you can buy them separately.

A spare wheel or tire is another important component in the camper, especially during an emergency. The spare tire can either be in the car or attached underneath the trailer. The wheels for the car and the trailer however are different and cannot be interchanged. Carrying a spare tire for your specific model of camper is therefore important, as you may not be able to find one in an emergency.

A jockey wheel is a useful optional component that you can use to make it convenient to hook up the trailer to the car.

Having access to all the pop up camper replacement parts can make your camping trip more pleasurable and smooth sailing. You can visit the following sites for pop up camper replacement parts:
