How do Camper Trailer windup-systems work?

Help Articles
Article by Peter Smith, Caravans Plus
The following photos and descriptions are provided here to assist you to understand how the most common windup system works. This is used in Jayco's, Coromal, Windsor and Goldstream.

Corner 1

Left: The winch is normally located in the front corner on the doorside. The winch height is around 270mm and width at the base, allow 170mm.


Below: The cables taper down to the offside - max 100mm height required at the corner.

The thick main cable comes from the winch and joins the four smaller corner cables at the harness plate.

The two front floor tracks hold the pushrods and an end of each cable.

Corner 2

Left: Top view of the of the second corner, showing 2 corner cables going to the rear of the camper after going around the corner pulley mounted on a wooden wedge.

The pushrod can be seen, curving up thru the corner bend (These are now enclosed, tubular bends) into the base of the telescopic arm which is inside the wall.

Below: View of the same corner but on a different camper, showing the cables going over the wheel arch.

An alternate method is to have 2 or even 4 pulleys taking the cable over the wheel arch. Or the cables can be routed around the floor to bypass the wheel arch.

Corner 3

Left: Outside view of the rear offside corner showing the telescopic arm fitted in the wall. At the base you can see the corner bend extending into the base of the arm.

Below: Inside view of the same corner. Shows the 2 cables coming over the wheel arch from the front. They go around the corner pulley.

The floor tracks at the rear require about 70mm height and 120mm wide for the full width of the camper trailer.

Corner 4

Left: The arm raised, showing how it is fitted to the top of the wall. This view is from the rear corner on the door side.

Below: Shows the rear of camper with the floor track ending in the last corner.

The Winch could also be located in this corner, with everything reversed.
