There is a wide variety of folding campers available for purchase today. One important consideration in the purchase selection considerations of a folding camper is the setup. Here’s a folding camper setup video for Fleetwood folding campers, using a hand crank to raise the solid Fleetwood folding camper roof, and a hand crank to level the folding camper once set up. This demonstration of the setup involves one adult for all the installation requirements of the folding camper. The video clearly shows the benefits of the crank system for the folding camper! (Also well known as a “pop-up camper” or “popup camper trailer.”)

Directions for Fleetwood Folding Camping Trailer Setup

  1. After choosing a level site for the folding camper, park and secure the folding camper by placing the wheel chocks (chock blocks) against the tires.
  2. Swing down and lock the folding camper dolly jack.
  3. Disengage the folding camper coupler, disengage the wiring and safety chains.
  4. Drive the tow vehicle away from the folding camper.

  6. Release the top latches of the roof of the folding camper from all four corners.
