Great to hear. I have a Rockwood 1280XL with a chain lift system. I just rebuilt the roof. It had some bad water damage.
 My question to you is did you find a good way to oil the lift springs? I can't find a easy way to get to them without ripping half the trailer apart. Thanks Kirt

I bought a spray grease with a spray tube. then i connected a long pieces of fishtank airline and sprayed from the top of the supports. so you remove the small patch of fabric on the corners and you will see the brackets to hold top spray from the top. then you can also spray fro the lift crank area.if you use stuff like wd 40 or penetrating oils they dry out fast you need grease.

Thanks for the advice!
So was it hard to fix the chains? How did you get access to them?

I have half of my trailer apart right now, and I'm having difficulty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
