Replacing Electric Winch for Pop Up Camper with Hand Winch

Question

Question:

Our powered winch that opens and lowers our popup burned out. We are looking to replace it with a manual winch for our 1993 Flagstaff by Cobra. Can you advise us as to options? Thanks.

A hand winch like the Dutton-Lainson # DL14830 is a great option for you. It's reversible so you can raise and lower the pop up with the winch.

If you also need a cable # DL24045 will work with this winch.
