Just bought a used 1974 starcraft venture pop-up camper - canvas in fair shape - might want to replace - not sure where to begin?? The cable pulley system is not working - using 2x4 boards to hold up - stable but not sure if safe with kids coming and going!! Anyone know what it might cost to replace pulleys - is it possible to do the work ourselves???
Any ideas!!!!?????
My lift system will not work it will not roll the line on the spool. I have the top down and have removed the lift system. This is the small 1000 lb. starcraft. Can any one help?
I would like to know if anyone has the diagram of the pulley system for venture pop up camper. I am going to try to replace broken cables. Please email me if you have a diagram or know where i can get one. HHHEEELLLPPP!!!!
I have a 1974 starcraft camper, and the front will raise up fine but the back dont want to raise up I ran out of cable but the top was not fully up.
So why trying to get it up the cable broke. where do i get a new pulley system or what do I do
There was an ebay store that specialized in t trailer parts as i understand gthere is realy only 3-4
manufacturers for all crank systems ever used on ttrailers if in canada call wks tent trailer rebuilders in edmonton ab
I should have also mentioned that they also sent out aluminum support braces that clipped on to the lift beams to make sure the roof would not fall. Same idea that you are using the 2x4's for.
Where do you find the year on one of these old ventures? We just got one as a winter project to work on, and was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find the age of the thing.
I have a 1972 venture w/3 broken cables. I'm pretty handy and think I can handle this. Does anyone have any cable routing diagrams or suggestions for a rookie on this project. Thanks, Dan
Just bought 1977 starcraft venture pop up camper, I was told not to go past a mark on the pully because if you go too far you can not get it down. it is working fine, but what would you do if it would not come down?
If I were to replace pully system I would go to croft trailer.
I have a 1977 Venture Canterbury I'm restoring I have to replace the wood in the top and some plywood in the body while I have the skin off I'm going to rewire both the 12vdc and 117vac. Then give her a good cleaning inside as for the frame it needs sandblasting then painting
I had the same problem with my 1972 Starcraft. I raised the roof and put in the safety supports. I spliced in a new cable along side the broken one and connected it to the center lift(where all 4 cables meet). Just make sure the cable it very tight when you reconnect to the center lift. I also changed the center lift cable, which was much easier
Starcraft had a recall on the Venture lift system because the cables were originally carbon steel which rusted and broke. The recall replaced the cables with stainless steel cables. This is likely part of the problem. I believe Starcraft may still support that product.
The cables on my 1974 starcraft venture recently busted and I'd like to know if anyone has any clue on how to replace and attach them to hold the trailer up. I am also looking for a diagram of some sort that will enable me to repair it myself.
We purchased a venture pop up and are guting it out and we will be using it to haul remote control airplanes. The front left 4 stage lift system has a broken pulley ( the middle one ) do you know of a place that i can purchase these. I appreciate any help.
Thanks

I have a 1974 Starmaster. Front cables broke. Want to redo all cables. Does anyone know how? Also One slide out rail is bent and needs to be replaced. Where to find a replacement
I had a 74 venture and I got tired of looking for the cables and proping it with 2x4s and just bought a new camper. My venture frame made for a good base for a utility trailer. I moved the wheels to the outside and put rails on. Great trailer, very heavy frame.
Does any one have experience repairing the cables on a 1972 Starcraft pop up and a routing diagram? Any help with this is highly appreciated. Thanks, Carola
