Are you old "American PopUp" owners that posted on the threads last year still out and about this year?  Hoping to meet up with you at some point.

Hi there, new to this web site.  I have aPalomino 1984 ish Hard side Pop Up.  Having problem getting info on the hubs/bolts wheels.  LHS hub is losing bolts and the thread seems to be damaged in the hub, have you any contacts that have esperience with these.  Nice to know I am not the only owner in the uk!

Hi Jonah and welcome to UKCS, there are a quite few of us in the UK with the popups.
Any advice you need for the original parts of your unit can be found here They are a real friendly bunch and most willing to help.

The running gear on your unit will have been switched over to UK specs when imported, so any problems with the hubs and wheelnuts should be easily rectified by a local caravan or trailer service shop. Usually there is an identification mark on the axle giving the maker.

Just in case you don't have one, here is a download of the original manual for the Palimino.

Hope you get fixed up soon.

Bob

Welcome Jonah I have a Coleman Arcadia and have found that web site very useful. For the first time in the 2 years of owning mine I was actually on the same site as an Ameriacan pop up at Shell Island a few weeks back which makes a change as you dont see them that often.

Thanks for the welcome.  I dont feel so alone now!.  I think I may be able to repair the hub but now I am having trouble locating the wheel I need.  It is a 165/70 x 10 any idea where I can locate one.  Thanks for the lionks Bob, but I cant open the manual section, it says that the site cant be found any ideas

Cheers

Martin

Hi Jonah,

Did the page link open, but not the manual? it definately works, I just clicked on it and it opened for me with no problems. 

The manuals are all in PDF format so you must have Acrobat Reader  installed before it will open. Internet explorer will give the not found page,  the download is free.
Once that is done, try the link again and you will find acrobat opens up. Give the page plenty of time to load as it is an entire brochure.

Let me know how it goes

Bob

The only other option is to right click on the link and choose "save target as" from the options which will download the file to your computer rather than open it. Save it in my documents. Double click on it and it will open in Acrobat Reader.

I clicked directly on the link in your last post and this is a screenshot of what came up. Have you got Acrobat Reader installed?
