After our last camp the pup was still damp, so I popped it up enough in the garage to drop the canvas out to dry. When I went to close it up, all seemed fine until I tried to latch the front corner and the roof would not go down. There was a gap of about two inches.
Cranked it back up some to see that the largest posts did not set down first, the middle posts did. The large posts won't go down. I'm hoping that a full crank up will fix that, but I'll need to pull it out of the garage to do that.
Wish me luck!

Bummer Tim,  I hope it's nothing serious.

YAY! SIL helped me pull the pup out of the garage yesterday. Leveled it and cranked it up. Darn if it didn't lock up about halfway up. He was able to jiggle the posts, unlock them, and it went up no problem. Closed it up no problem.
Daughter is going to borrow it next weekend. Hopefully no further issues.

Thanks Dave-
We'll see this weekend when daughter borrows it. Of course, I have to tow it to her camp and set it up.
She invited us to stay, but the forecast for Sat. night is 34°. Told her to bring extra blankets and heaters!

Well, the lift system worked just fine setting it up for daughter. :)
Sunday afternoon we headed back to close it up, no problems!
Got it winterized and back in the garage for a winter nap.

Is it Spring yet?
