Pop Up Camper

We have a 2000 Coleman Elite pop up camper, and we have tried to winterize it ourselves, only to realize that we do not really know what we are doing… can anyone help please?!?!
Thank you!

I think all you can do is put some plumbing antifreeze down the sink and toilet , if you use them. To keep the water thats trapped in there from freezing and cracking the pipes. Maybe scatter some moth balls around the outside and underneath, to keep critters out, and from nesting inside. And a tarp to cover your trailer.

I have a Chevy Trailblazer SUV, and I'm thinking about buying a pop-up (folding) camper. We would like to take our bicycles with us when we go camping. I currently use a bike carrier that mounts to my trailer hitch. So - if I connect the camper to my trailer hitch, what's the best way to haul the bicycles? They don't fit in the back of the SUV, and I DON'T want to put them on the roof of the SUV. Does the camper have a trailer hitch in the back?

There are several options.

It is possible to use a hitch rack for your bikes and use an extended reciever to tow a pop-up, but it will put more weight on your hitch.

You can probably get a rack that would mount to the back of the pop-up, but that might put too much weight on the back of the pop-up, making the tongue weight too light.

The best thing to do is to put some bars (like for a roof mounted bike rack) on the top of the pop-up and carry the bikes on top of it. That would put the extra weight of the bikes directly over the wheels of the trailer. Just make sure the pop-up that you get is strong enough to accomodate packing stuff on top of it.

I got this pop up camper and the inside of the canvas is a little moldy. Not real bad but light black all over inside. I need to find something that will clean it off that dont need to be rinsed since i cant very well spray the hose in there. Thank you

Canvas Mold and Mildew Removal
To remove mold and mildew from your canvas tent, or awning, first vacuum or brush soilded areas to remove any excess dirt. Wash the affected area with a solution of 1/2 cup Lysol to a gallon of hot water. Rinse with a solution of 1 cup lemon juice and 1 cup salt to a gallon of hot water. Allow the canvas to air dry in the sun.

You can also try applying a cleaner such as IOSSO Tent & Camping Gear Cleaner. This cleaner is made to remove tough dirt and mildew stains. Afterwards, you may want to treat the canvas with a water-repellent compound such as Canvak.

Good Luck!

I'm exploring the idea of acquiring a pop up camper or travel trailer. The question I have with the pop up is if there is any weight limitation for the beds? I notice they are supported by two bars, and I alone weight 300 pounds. My wife is an extra 150.

That is why I wonder if I should get a travel trailer that is more structurally sound.

Thanks.

I've had a pop up but traded up to a travel trailer…more security and the beds are much better. You'd be pushing the limit if both you and your wife were on one side of a pop up bed….

Check travel trailers…they don't cost a whole lot more and give you so much more.

I'm just now getting into the market of buying a pop up camper. Window shopping really. And all the pictures I see of these campers do not have a connection for towing. Do they make them to where you can pull something behind the camper as well?
Okay. I will just get in the market for an RV. Thx

Some (not all) states DO allow a pickup to tow two trailers, but the front one has to be a fifth-wheel hitch. It's best to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles before you commit to buy anything.

I bought a frame of a Pop-up camper and there was nothing left except the frame. It has now been turned into a trailer for my amusement company. I'm trying to find the VIN so i can register and insure it, but the only place it is posted is on the front of the frame and it is now unreadable since it was hit with the grinder when we painted the frame. Is there anywhere else it could be posted? All that I can read is ATWOOD on the frame.

That's the only spot on the frame. They usually have one on the door opening as well, but it sounds like you don't have access to that.

i have two missing.it goes to a rockwood pop up camper.

You could contact your local RV dealer, but I suggest going to Home Depot or Lowe's, etc. and finding something that would work in the hardware section.

I had a pop-up given to me it's approx. 1970-75 roughly 8×10'closed and the only marking that I can find say Lark Goshen, Ind.Also there's a tag near the door that say's complies with national elec. codes. The camper is in excelent cond. except for the tent. If anyone can offer any help or knoledge I would greatly appreciate it!

Your pop-up trailer should list the manufacturer on the title. If it doesn't then try these.
This is the only thing I could find for RV manufacturers in Goshen Indiana.

There is a company that makes "Lark" brand travel trailers and I can't find it. Sorry. You can try and contact the people below they may be able to help you out.

They sell replacement canvas for pop-ups and will probaby be able to tell what brand and year of pop-up you have.
Good Luck and Happy Camping!
