My simple camping story. We have been camping a really long time. One weekend at Julian Price, we were getting ready to go home and it was raining. We had a Apache fold out. Yes a fold out. Had no canvas, just pvc sides that you put together when you cranked the top up.
Any way it's raining, I folded the sides back in, and started to crank it down. You need to know on the Apache. The ratio is 100 turns to 1 inch of travel, or so it seems. As I was spinning the top down. The family next to us in Cox camper came out. You older campers know Cox campers have no crank. So they flipped one end over the back, flipped the other over the front, hooked to the car and was gone, and I'm still standing behind the Apache cranking the top down. I wanted a Cox camper so bad after that.
