Hey Cory -
Your build looks like a lot of fun and we appreciate the sharing.
I picked up a damaged palomino bronco off craigslist for the jacks and some glow steps for a different build that I recently finished. Story was a real heart breaker, where the previous owner hit the highway without clamping down the roof - you can guess the rest.
I was planning to dump the camper after I removed the jacks and steps, but the problem is it's in really good condition and kinda new (2011 w/fridge, heater, sink, outside shower, etc) . . .
I now feel the obligation to build the top and use it or sell it !
Here is my issue - The lift mechanism is in tact and the worm springs that go up and down in each corner to help lift the roof also work . . . BUT - I don't have the square tubes that get pushed up by the worm springs and have limited ideas on how I should connect new tubes to the roof framing! Do you have any photos or suggestions of how I should frame in the connection points?
