    Rope pulley for camper trailer

    Hi.
    Just wondering if anybody has made a rope pulley system to lift the canvas and frames on a camper trailer.Any links or pics would be greatly appreciated.
    Mine is very heavy and having a stuffed back its difficult to erect alone.

    I haven't made such a system, but if it's one of those things you are likely to have to do alone, there is a range of ratcheting pulleys used in sail boats. Ronstan orbit series are one example.

    I'd have to see how you camper folds to be able to make suggestions.

    Get a hard floor camper! Even my 8 year old can wind it up by himself. Soooo much easier

    I'm looking at fabricating something for that very purpose this weekend. I'll post the solution i come up with. Thinking of something on the lines of the sheerlegs i used to use for standing up windmill towers years ago

    Its a side fold.
    I would like it to be useable so I can camp solo,well Deb will be there but not much help setting it up.My back doesnt like setting it up Im afraid.
    I dont want to buy a new hardfloor,I built this trailer from scratch,would like to be able to use it easier then I would consider finishing the build.
    Pedro,I want a van,my desires see me needing $100K,awaiting my friends,the Lotto Godz to smile upon me.I have the tow rig sorted
    Only used the camper trailer for one trip,tows great,comfortable bed,hard to set up alone.It has another outing coming up,I will then decide to scrap it or finish it.
