Hello Chris,

You want the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 1,200 lbs # DL14934 to replace the winch that raises the roof on your 2003 Rockwood Premier. It is not the OEM part as they are no longer available as a branded part, but this will be your easiest swap.

Any big trips planned for the summer? If so, where are you headed?

Hey Chris, Did the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch work well for raising the roof on your Rockwood Premier? I'm asking because your experience could help others looking for a similar solution.

@KateF Yes it did. It works great. However, the center hole that it extends to had to be slightly enlarged. I started with a rasp file. Later I found a drill attachment. Some extra trouble, but worth it. It is water proof. Should last decades.
