Might go look at a $300 camper. Owner claims the cables are broken and it is unable to "pop up". Anyone ever replace cables and how hard is it to do?

Thanks,
Paul

Older pop-ups can be had fairly cheaply. I would pass on that one and spent a few hundred bucks more for one that functions properly.

I did the cables on my Coleman some years ago. It was TEDIOUS, but not particularly difficult, although time has times the memory..
Go online and check out replacement canvas--I also replaced all the canvas on mine and it was reasonable. With new cables, and new canvas, and a good check of the tires and wheel bearings, it would be almost new.
Depends whether time of money is your more critical resource.
