Siesta Telescopic top truck camper

[Basquecarp]

I dont know for sure but i think it is a 1968-1972 Siesta hard sided pop up 10 foot camper. I am being upfront, this camper is a remodel/rebuild unit. All the appliances are still installed and seam to be in fair shape. I am asking $500 firm. For photos https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WLq_7M2eOPNl2BHo7KbJv-tnxv28Q6wM?usp=sharing

Hello, I don't suppose you still have the camper?
I'm rebuilding a similar model and have no lifting mechanism, was hoping by chance you may have photos of the lift mechanism on yours..

The lifting mechanism on these campers are very complicated and if I had to guess, probably the downfall of many of the campers. There is a pulley system that you operate a crank from the outside (passenger side) and the cable runs under the dinette to the bottom corner then vertical to a track that lifts the top half. On my camper the floor was deteriorated and with all the weight of the top half off the camper the pulley ripped out of the floor. That's why mine needs a rebuild. When I have time I will try and get you some pictures. If you have no cables or pulleys and have to start from scratch, I'd look at the lifting mechanism of the Alaskan campers. Very simple.

I also have a 1971 Siesta Camper that we are interested in selling. Did you sell yours? and how did that go? I know my dad replaced two of the jacks on this one so it works pretty well but needs some freshening.....
