hello all
so i just got this coleman pop up.....niagara
seems as basic as possible but i digress
i was told all the cables were replaced and all it needs is a little wire reattached......
so i gets it home and it sits
sometimes i prograstinate well
well a week has gone by now and i tried to open it up.......
it cranks up bout 8-10 inches then stops
one side goes up maybe a foot foot and a half then it all drops
so im thinking im mechanical all i need is a pic to see how it goes togther and i can fix it
so my brother in law and his cousin and myself lift it by hand and i check insde real good the top seems ok but i did notice that the left hand side is pulling apart so i need to reinforce that but all the other wood is good
but the other part is on the front there are 2 crank spots one is the lift thing but what is the other?

i have not gotten the title yet so i dont know the year
it is definately 80s
the canvas is real good
i got a good deal
just need to fix it some
just hoping someone knows the ins and outs and can direct me some
thanx all

If you got a good deal, why do you not have a title or know what year the popup is?.. Make sure you have a title for the popup that is in your name and free and clear of any previous liens before doing any repairs...

i got it from a friend who was in the process of moving
she was supposed to drop it off last week but we had a power failure and it was a big mess so probably gonna be next monday....and yea i got a good deal the floors are solid , the canvas is in great shape the tires look newer
i mean its primitive but its in decent overall shape...and yea im not dooing any repairs til i get the title
next summer i hope to get some use out of it

Here's a site that talks about all kinds of pop up roofs and the lift systems.
Good Luck, sounds like the cables were not hooked up right.
